The considered way to stay in Arusha.
Boutique serviced apartments in the heart of Arusha, designed for comfort, privacy and peace of mind.
More space than a hotel, more service than an Airbnb, the quiet middle ground travellers keep returning to.
What makes Olive Homes different.
Boutique by Design
A small, curated collection of residences, kept by one team. Fewer guests, more attention, an Arusha stay that feels personal from the first hour.
Hotel-Grade Service
Daily housekeeping, fresh linens, hotel-grade bedding and a concierge who answers in minutes, not hours. The reliability of a hotel, in the privacy of a home.
Quiet, Secure Njiro
Set in one of Arusha's most established residential neighbourhoods, gated, leafy and 24-hour secured, ten minutes from the city and the safari road north.
Fully Furnished, Truly Ready
Full kitchens, fast Wi-Fi, dedicated workspaces and considered furniture throughout. Arrive, unpack, settle, nothing missing, nothing to chase down.
Built for Every Traveller
One, two and three bedroom apartments for safari guests, families, business travellers, digital nomads and long-stay visitors. The right fit for every trip.
A Single Point of Contact
One person, one phone number, one team. From booking to check-out, transfers to private chef, your stay in Arusha is coordinated by people who know it.
Every detail, quietly chosen.
Hotel-grade bedding, blackout curtains, kitchens stocked for real cooking, workspaces sized for real work. Nothing loud, nothing missing. A residence that earns the word boutique.
