Overview:

The Jafferji House building was originally built by the Dossaji family about 100 years ago and later sold to the Jafferji family in the 1960’s who were merchants in cutlery. The Jafferji’s had the ultimate dream of converting this large property into an intimate boutique hotel, fit for kings and queens. After a three year renovation project, this property has been magically transformed from a family home into a very high standard boutique hotel, welcoming guests into the splendor of this magnificent property allowing them to visualize the grandeur of Sultans and merchants of days gone by.

All furnishings in Jafferji House, including all the carved door and window frames, are genuine antiques collected from all over the world such as Morocco, Afghanistan, India and Mozambique. Many of the antique ceramic plates seen in this property date back hundreds of years and were bought on ships headed for Zanzibar from Europe and Asia.
