The Gardens is a bed and breakfast property in Marracuene, set around a garden and an indoor swimming pool. The Gardens offers air-conditioned rooms with breakfast included, in a quieter inland setting away from the coast road, and describes itself as a peaceful base away from city noise.
Best for
The Gardens suits guests wanting a small, quiet bed and breakfast with breakfast included and an indoor pool.
It suits less well guests wanting to be directly on the beach, since the property sits inland in Marracuene rather than on Macaneta’s beachfront.
Location
The Gardens is in Marracuene, set back from the coast. In a straight line it is about 6.7 km west of our Praia de Macaneta reference point.
Rooms and style at The Gardens
The property offers a Double Room with Garden View, air-conditioned with a private bathroom, dining area, tea and coffee maker, refrigerator and free WiFi; guests should confirm bedding and room size for their dates.
Facilities at The Gardens
Verified facilities include an indoor swimming pool, free WiFi, free on-site private parking, a garden setting and included breakfast with a Halal option. The host also describes a Smart TV with streaming services and international channels, a direct phone line to reception, and 24-hour room service for guests.
Trade-offs and what to know
The Gardens only accepts cash payment, so guests should plan for this before arrival.
It does not sit directly on the beach, so onward transport is needed to reach Macaneta’s sand.
Getting there and getting around
The Gardens is reached by road from Maputo through Marracuene; the listing gives Maputo International Airport, 15 km away, as the nearest airport, with a vehicle needed for the onward journey to the property itself.
