About
Plantation Lodge is a boutique hotel in the Arusha Region of Tanzania, set in the foothills of Mount Meru. It is known as Elewana Plantation Lodge, and it suits travellers who want a smaller, more personal place to stay rather than a large resort.
The setting and the buildings
The lodge occupies restored farm buildings, which gives it a character quite different from a purpose-built hotel. The rooms are intimate in scale, and the furnishings include antiques that add to the sense of a house with a history of its own. The lodge sits in the foothills of Mount Meru, so the mountain forms a backdrop to the stay.
What to expect
- Intimate accommodation in restored farm buildings
- Antique furnishings throughout
- Beautiful gardens to walk around
- Personalised service from the staff
Because the lodge is small, the atmosphere is calm and unhurried. Guests who enjoy gardens, quiet surroundings and a traditional feel will likely find it a good choice.
Arusha, the city nearby, is the main gateway town of northern Tanzania, so the lodge is well placed for travellers planning time in the wider region. Visitors considering a stay should check current details directly with the lodge before booking.
