Gecko Cottage Bagamoyo
Affordable Two-Bedroom Self-Catering Cottage in Old Town 

Experience the Charm of Bagamoyo Old Town

Gecko Cottage is a charming two-bedroom standalone cottage in the heart of Bagamoyo Old Town, sleeping up to three guests. Designed for travellers who value comfort, privacy, and authentic coastal character without a premium price tag, it is the most affordable self-catering option at Bagamoyo Homes and one of the best-value stays in the area for backpackers, solo travellers, digital nomads, and couples on a coastal holiday near Dar es Salaam.

Comfort, Privacy & Modern Convenience

Gecko Cottage comes with reliable high-speed WiFi (suitable for remote work, video calls, and streaming), a backup power system for uninterrupted comfort, complete privacy as a standalone property, and a secure, peaceful garden setting. Whether you are on a working trip, a budget holiday, or an extended stay in Bagamoyo, the cottage offers everything you need without anything you do not.

The Terrace

The cottage is surrounded by lush tropical gardens with mature trees, flowering plants, and shaded seating areas that create a naturally cool and peaceful outdoor living space. Coral-toned walls, carved wooden details, and locally crafted furnishings complement the greenery. A genuine extension of the Swahili architectural character that defines Bagamoyo Old Town. The veranda blurs the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. Living in Bagamoyo Old town gives you a first-hand taste of coastal village life: fishermen mend their nets, children learn in the school over the road and hawkers call out for you to buy their produce. This is a largely Muslim village and there are three mosques near by, so if you are looking for a quiet and secluded retreat, this is not the place for you!
