Ancha’s Oasis is a garden guest house on Rua da Igreja in Bairro das Mahotas, on the northern edge of Maputo where the city thins out towards Marracuene and the road to Macaneta. Accommodation is in suites and family rooms with their own terraces, set around a pool, a garden and an open-air bath. Ancha’s Oasis trades on space and quiet rather than on a central address.
Best for
Ancha’s Oasis suits families and couples with a car who want garden surroundings, a pool and terrace rooms on the way out of the city
It suits business visitors needing to be in the central avenues each morning less well, given how far north it sits
Location
The guest house is on Rua da Igreja in Bairro das Mahotas, at the northern limit of the Maputo municipality. In a straight line it is about 13.4 km north-east of our Maputo city centre reference point, so it is closer to the northern exit road than to the downtown grid, and the airport lies between the two. The setting is suburban plots and gardens.
Rooms and style at Ancha's Oasis
Three categories are named: a Suite with Terrace, a Suite with Garden View and a Family Room with Terrace. All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities and the accommodation is non-smoking. Room sizes, bed configurations and whether air conditioning is fitted are not stated, so ask what your category includes before confirming.
Facilities at Ancha's Oasis
Verified facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, an open-air bath, free WiFi, free parking, family rooms, tea and coffee makers in all rooms and an airport shuttle. Breakfast is available. There is no stated restaurant or bar, so other meals will mean self-catering or driving to eating places nearer the city.
Trade-offs and what to know
It is a long way out of central Maputo, so a vehicle or regular taxis are close to essential
No restaurant is listed beyond breakfast, which limits evening options on site
Arrival time has to be notified in advance, so spontaneous late check-ins are not practical
Getting there and getting around
Maputo is reached by air into its international airport and by road from the South African border posts, and the guest house lists an airport shuttle. Bairro das Mahotas is on the northern road out of the city on surfaced routes, so an ordinary car is sufficient and free parking is provided.
