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.

Nkhudzi Lodge

Nkhudzi Bay which is in the Southern Region of Lake Malawi which lends itself to quieter, warmer water. We have an excellent beach and very clear water. Currently we can accommodate 10 people sharing and also have some tents for hire. We are surrounded by the Malawi National Park so it's possible to see some wildlife on the mountain and rocks behind the lodge. We also have a variety of birds in our trees so there's also something for the birdwatchers! So, if you want to have a peaceful holiday in a beautiful garden setting, this is the place for you!!

So the best thing about this place is the food. The rooms are very poor, power evry inconsistent, riddled with mosquitoes, pool is tiny....but still swimmable....But the food is nice (at least what i had)

Lovely Camping Spot

Reviewed By woodnutngala

We stayed for 2 nights at the camp site. Lovely campsite under very big trees for shade. The staff were helpful and very friendly. The campsite is located quite close to the main road to Mozambique so did find it a bit noisy. Sadly they were experiencing water issues but this did not dampen our relaxed time or experience.

We had lunch on several days during a week of charity work. The menu that was served, was always on time and very delicious. We managed to receive Coke Zero as of day 2, which was highly appreciated. We had a very good impression of the cleanliness and good maintenance of the place. The views are outstanding...

Nice & Clean

Reviewed By ttdread

A 6 room lodge in a beautiful garden location. No 5 star, but great restaurant. Menu breakfast included with room. Lacked basic amenities like ac, phones, cable, micorwave, & ice machine. Wooden bed frame with too thin pad was really uncomfortable for my 11 days. Room service was good although you had to got tell them since there was phone in the room. Watch out for housekeeping leaving your windows & doors open when they clean so you won't have a mosquitoe party & lizards at night even with the net over your bed. Staff was friendly & helpful. Food was delicious.
