伝統的な住居をそのまま利用した雰囲気のよい宿泊施設で静かで落ち着いた空間である。トイレ・シャワーは共同だが私が宿泊した部屋は隣だったのでほぼ専用で使用でき不便はなかった。窓にガラスがなく雨が降ると木の扉を閉めることになり真っ暗になるがそれも味だろう。場所はオールドタウンのどこへもアクセスしやすく便利である。

Questions about Tarawanda House - Stawi

Does Tarawanda House - Stawi allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Tarawanda House - Stawi?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does Tarawanda House - Stawi have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Is breakfast included at Tarawanda House - Stawi?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Tarawanda House - Stawi have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Tarawanda House - Stawi have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Tarawanda House - Stawi?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
