Location short walk to Also right in the heart of the village so the locals are all coming and Chembe/Cape Maclear and whole Malawi. 15 minutes walk from Lake Malawi National Park. Budget, fashionable room with an own bathroom and a walk-in shower and towels. Large and savoury breakfast and a wide array of goodies: D

The fully-stocked bar served drinks that made me forget all my worries. The stunning pool was the perfect spot to sip cocktails and admire the sunset. The golden beach was a paradise within the national park. I had a blast on the catamaran cruise with the entertaining boatman, Morris.
I absolutely adored everything, but if I had to nitpick, I suppose it would be that the Axa bus leaving daily was just too convenient for my taste. Who needs an easy way to get around?

Wow - the staff here are absolutely amazing, so friendly and welcoming! The location is mind-blowingly beautiful right on the lake, perfect for enjoying the stunning sunsets. Breakfast is super tasty and keeps you full all day, plus the lunch menu is great. The pre-ordered dinners are jaw-droppingly good! There are tons of activities to do and plenty of other food options nearby. They even offer packed lunches and breakfasts on request. The swimming pool is a lifesaver since the lake isn't ideal for swimming. The solar geysers ensure nice hot showers, especially in the lake-facing rooms. an absolutely amazing place, comfortable, homely, and welcoming. A big thank you to Noeleen and Chris for the unforgettable transfer, your generosity and good company will stay with me forever.

The charming decor of the lodge created a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The general areas were well-maintained and provided comfortable seating options, making it easy for senior people like myself to find a cozy spot to relax. Additionally, the lodge had convenient accessibility features that catered to the needs of senior guests, ensuring a comfortable stay.
I would have appreciated more assistance from the young staff members during my vacation.
