Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge

Beautiful hotel with stunning gardens. The food was excellent, our server Jonathan was absolutely amazing! He catered to our every want and need. The bar staff were also wonderful. Our villa was beautiful !! The front desk staff were so friendly and welcoming, as was every single person we encountered during our stay.

We did not stay here, but we went on the Bean-to-Cup Coffee tour, had lunch at the bistro and coffee at the coffee shop. The tour takes you through the coffee plantation, where the guide explains how the coffee grows, how they ensure quality, control pests, etc. Then you are guided to their shop, where they talk about different roasts and processes for getting the beans from green to drinkable, including roasting some beans and then making french press coffee while doing so. Our guide was Johanne, who was excellent -- very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and we learned a lot, had a lot of fun and delicious coffee! We had lunch at the bistro, which was generally good -- African cuisine, western cuisine and Indian are all available.

Charming resort in Arusha. As the name implies, they have coffee, a few acres of it. I loved the resort. The rooms are very nice. I slept quite well. The restaurants were the Bistro and the Grill Room. I ate outside every night because it was too beautiful not to. The food was excellent. Staff are very good and friendly. I really enjoyed the spa.
