Ad Lib Executive Lodge

One night only.

Reviewed By NyasaEmpress

The lodge is 1 star at best. There is no attention to detail. The rooms are spacious, but the beds are not turned down for the evening and yet I arrived at the end of a working day. I had a cold shower with only 1 towel in the room and no floor mat/towel to step onto after I showered. I would not come here if I had a choice. Look it’s clean. It’s basic, but not really a place I would chose particularly since Lilongwe has better options for lodge-type accommodation that are probably better than this place.

Njaya Lodge

Opened for business on Christmas Day 1993, Njaya Lodge was built as a labour of love in cooperation with the people of our adopted home. In fact, many of the staff who helped build Njaya and make it what it is today, are still there extending their typical Malawian warmth, humour and character to all our guests. Nestled into the side of a hill, and overlooking magnificent Lake Malawi, we've built a collection of chalets and houses spread over lush gardens and terraces that lead down to beautiful Chikale beach, the only beach in Nkhata Bay. There should be something to fit every budget, from brand new cottages perched over the water, to family houses and garden chalets, all ensuite with four poster mosquito-netted beds, fans and views. "The kind of place you could wake up in one morning and realise that you were supposed to be back at work months ago" from the book, 'Swahili for the Broken Hearted' by Peter More (Bantam Books).

I stayed here for a work-trip but wished I could have stayed longer. The hotel is well located with great customer service and the best aspect is the stunning view of the rooms onto the rolling hills of Blantyre.

Reviewed By Yellowtopcab

This is a B and B place, very decent and well located in a poshy area. Staff always eager to help and support. Reception responsibilities could be improved in explaining everything to a guest especially how the Internet work. Internet is free from 6 to 6 after which you need to pay for it. Much as I had paid for it, it never worked. Also realised later that Internet is free during weekends. The breakfast is not the best but good enough. Being a quiet residential area, one needs transport. It is also a bit far from the business centres. For a proper meal, there is Country Lodge nearby which has excellent food, mostly Indian cuisine.

Nice spacious rooms and a big swimming pool but no carpeted floors and the decorations in the restaurant is over the top. The hotel is quite empty and not all the sockets work. The staff our very friendly and reasonably helpful. there is a bar but the hotel is very new and is still in the process of building.There is a conference room to use at a cost and a small bar that never has anyone in it. The hotel can arrange taxis to Blantyre.
