Decent hotel with excellent restaurant

Reviewed By leyton84

Hotel is pretty good but there are definite areas of improvement. Hot water is not a given. If you're lucky,you may be able to have a hot shower but most days there wasn't any for me. The bed is quite firm and a bit short so if you're tall, your legs will dangle out. The good points are, the staff are very accommodating and the restaurant within the hotel is fantastic with quite a varied menu. There is also a really nice bakery attached to the hotel which makes everything grey in house.

Excellent value, very friendly and helpful

Reviewed By Lynn W

I stayed at Chinyonga for 2 weeks with a friend while we were working with an NGO. We each had an en-suite room in the main house and had a large living room and kitchen to use as well. The site is well maintained although on a hillside so there are steps to some accommodation. The swimming pool was well maintained and a pleasure to use after a hot day. Breakfast and dinner if ordered is served in your accommodation. The staff were always a very polite and helpful. WiFi is included and there is a generator for power cuts. The rates are very reasonable and we would certainly use again.

We invite you to come and have dinner or a drink, spend the night in a tent, our dorm or a private room. In our common areas and our garden you will meet Malawians and people from all over the world traveling through Zomba! We offer Paka Tours; from guided walks up Zomba Plateau to airport transfers and trips to Mulanje, Liwonde, Cape Maclear or even as far as Nkhata Bay. Our local guide Isaac is a gem. He knows the area very well and can tell you all about nature on the mountain and the culture of Malawian people. The owners are happy to share their extensive knowledge of the country. If you are just arriving in Malawi, we offer a landing package with an airport transfer, information about the country (money/ATMs, transport, places to visit, dos & don'ts), a local SIM card & a Malawian G&T, soft drink or cold 'green' (beer) on arrival at our lodge. At the moment our restaurant is open every day from 7AM until 8PM.
