Maweni Farm is situated in the Usambara Mountains, in a valley near Soni. The renovated old colonial farmhouse from the 19th century is set under a vertical cliff among giant rocks with a lush, park-like garden, surrounding a pond.
Around the house are small farms, growing vegetables, fruit and coffee, and there is a patch of rainforest trees, with monkeys and sunbirds, leading up to the cliffs, where eagles and bussards nest.

Restaurant

neighbourhood with fresh, homemade cake, wine and Macademia nuts
