I can't say enough about this superb hotel. Located out of town in a completely tranquil location, providing a perfect night's sleep. Food in the restaurant was consistently delicious over our four night stay, with local produce from the farm presented inventively., and a fully stocked bar! But the real asset is the staff - all of whom could not do enough for us. Thank you so much.

Stayed for 5 nights. Our experience was excellent. The staff and service were great (and upgraded us to a larger room after an incident with ants), the food was also great (try the chocolate pudding!), and nature is easily accessible throughout the property. The only minor downside is the rough road leading up to the lodge. Though most roads in remote villages of Malawi are nowhere near as bad, it just became time-consuming to enter and exit the property. Altogether a 5/5

6/10 Okay

The perfect getaway…rustic, romantic, restful and simply amazing. The safari style 2 kilometers to get here is worth it. The food is great, the menu varied, the staff attentive and kind and the owners are congenial…the room is amazing and you feel that you want to stay longer…

Th setting is beautiful. The monkeys greeted us several times. The pool was clean. The bathroom in our room was beautiful. Breakfast choices were fantastic and tasty. The smell of mold in our arrival was overwhelming. We asked for the aircon to help dry the air and remove the smell but it was broken. We were promised that it would be fixed the same day. It was not fixed. That night it rained and the roof leaked several places, hence the mold and therefore the smell. Another room was never offered even though we mentioned something right away about the smell.
