OUTSIDE TOWN Budget Midrange
Irente Farm (% 027-264 0000, 0784-502935; murless @elct.org; camping per person Tsh3000, r without bathroom Tsh6000, d Tsh18,000-30,000) This rustic place about a 4.5km walk from town has camping, as well as a few tiny rooms sharing ablutions (cold water only). Also at Irente Farm are converted farm buildings that can be rented as a six-bed/ two-room self-catering house with a kitchen (bring your own food), plus two simple doubles and a triple room. All are attached and the entire lodge can be rented out for Tsh78,000 (sleeps up to nine people). Irente Farm also prepares picnic lunches for Tsh3000 per person (minimum Tsh5000, order in advance).
Irente View Cliff Lodge (% 027-264 0026; www .irenteview.com; s/d from US$50/65) Stunning views over the plains below on clear days from all the rooms compensate for the somewhat over-furnished interior at this new lodge, which is built on the edge of a cliff on the choicest piece of property in the Lushoto area and about 1.5km beyond Irente Farm directly at Irente Viewpoint. Just below is a grassy camping ground (camping per person US$5, with tent rental US$15) with hot-water showers. Transport to/from Lushoto costs US$20 per vehicle for up to six people round-trip.
About 15km outside Lushoto near Migambo village are several more places, all well situated for walking and reasonable options if you have your own transport.
Mullers Mountain Lodge (% 026-264 0204; mullers mountainlodge@yahoo.com; camping Tsh5000, s/d/f US$30/4060) An old family homestead set in sprawling grounds, with rooms in the main house or, for a bit more privacy, in nearby cottages, plus meals (from Tsh6000). There are also a few less appealing cement huts with shared bathroom and a large grassy camping area with a covered cooking area. Transport from Lushoto can be arranged.
