A consideration to have a bigger fridge in the family unit and maybe a shelf or closet for clothes.

Quietness, proximity to the lake. For 2 Star rated, it exceeded my expectations. Staff members are very friendly and helpful.

I was there in summer (September) when it was hot, and the chalet was very stuffy as it doesn't have much ventilation. But I slept on the upper floor with the ceiling fan and it was OK. Then a monkey stole the toothpaste from my bathroom(!) - they need locked cabinets in the bathroom, or a sign telling you not to leave anything out because of the monkeys. Finally, and this isn't the hotel's fault, but the fishing village next to the hotel plays loud music almost all day everyday, so it wasn't as peaceful as I expected.

Beautiful natural surroundings and view of the lake. Nice to be able to hike up into the hills from the hotel. The chalet felt very private and I enjoyed the view from the balcony. Staff were super friendly. Food was pretty good and priced according to what you'd expect from a hotel/resort.

The breakfast offered good selection.

There was not anywhere to walk to but it does have a private beach, a pool and lovely seating areas so I didn't really need to go anywhere!

A beautiful place with lovely rooms overlooking the lake.

only wifi at the Resturant and reception

a very nice middel class beach lodget on the shore of Lake Malawi with private beach. I stayed at the seaview rooom and enjoyed the room, the view and quite location. a lot of fun watching the monkeys collection food on the premise.

We loved our stay, the only thing would be that there was quite a wide crack on the balcony door of our cabin that let some unwelcomed insects in, I told the manager about it and I’m sure it has been fixed :)

Amazing location, in the woods just above the beach. Beautiful surroundings with very funny monkeys that pay occational visit (they have a guard to control them at all times, so they behave very well when they get into the area). Very friendly staff, good food and a relaxing atmosphere :) Wifi available upon request, but like anywhere else it’s not completely reliable, but more so then in many other places :)

Very nice location with a view at the lake and direct beach access. Staff ist very friendly.

I realized that the room I had booked did not entitle me to a television, something I always take for granted in a lodging place - I don't mind paying a little extra just to have access to a television. Also I didn't like the rough and dusty road to the Lodge - though it's a short drive.

The location is nice and within reach of other attractions in Senga Bay. The staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the meals and the breakfast was super, especially the Spanish omelet! The place is set in an unique environment: chalets perched on huge rocks and with amazing view of Lake Malawi; watching monkeys swinging from one tree branch to another; and the forestry surroundings! The sunrise is breathtaking! The walk between my chalet and the restaurant was refreshing - good exercise.

As long as you are isolated there, you are forced to eat at their restaurant....very small portions and very expensive also.

Location, monkeys around, nice fisherman village next to the lodge.

Stayed in August 2022

Beautiful setting in lush gardens with a sparkling pool and steps down to a private beach. Stunning deck with view of the lake for sundowners . The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is good.

Fantastic room and location

Amazing lake view, great pool and very friendly staff

The bar was not stocked very well. They couldn't make many cocktails because of not having the ingredients. It would have been nice to have more choices for a tropical cocktail.

The scenery was amazing, and the staff was very friendly. I loved the chalet. It was comfortable and had everything that I needed. The grounds were well kept.

The resort was recommended to me so unfortunately (and unusually for me) I came with expectations that weren't fulfilled. Additionally, menu is limited and the food not great. My stomach still hasn't settled more than a week later. Resort is relatively small and has a lot of young drinking day visitors. If you don't get to the facilities before they arrive, you can't use them - e.g. shaded loungers by pool - which could also be said for residents I know. 'Private' beach is small and full of day visitors. Village next to the resort played loud music late into the night. Wifi only available in restaurant area, not in rooms.

Friendly staff. Nice balcony with chalet room, would benefit from loungers - it's the only space available to relax that you're guaranteed able to use (due to numbers of day visitors).

A fabulous, friendly, comfortable break after a busy week

Stayed in September 2023

Very basic accommodation, with outside bathroom. Ants was everywhere in the rooms and climbed into our suitcases..would have liked be warned about that. Management was absent.

Location was lovely, and great pool area

Stayed in October 2023

The room had two floors so there was some privacy for two friends. The breakfast was nice and plentiful. Beautiful location on the lake.

Stayed in June 2023

the beach and the steps to the chalet and down to the beach are not good for older people. the accommodation is very basic the bed was small and short but it was clean

pretty grounds and food was freshly cooked, the staff were helpful

Stayed in June 2023

We were two women guests and felt very unsafe during the day and at night. There was a hostile atmosphere from the male staff and having booked several nights we left after 1. The room was small and claustrophobic and we could hardly open/close the bathroom door as it was fitted with an industrial spring. Beach was littered with rubbish and broken bottles. Many things on menu not available so we resorted to pizza for dinner

Breakfast was average

Stayed in April 2023

Very average accommodation, perhaps below average for the price/night. No aircon and the mattress was well worn. The cottages are small A-frames with thatch roofing and toilet/shower outside the main structure. No guided walks outside of the resort were offered. Canoes to hire at $5/hr. Food was average. I was not offered any breakfast beyond the cereal, boiled eggs and sweet-potato on display. All the garden and poolside furniture were colonised by ants that had nested inside the metal tubing of the seat frames, which made a relaxing read outside in the shade impossible; the pool water was also deep green. The setting is beautiful, with a small private beach adjacent to a small fishing village. The resort is fairly isolated, which I enjoyed but not ideal for people seeking a social environment.

Limited food options. my pancakes were too thick so both dry/crumbly on the outside yet the mixture was raw in the middle (they were still liquid in the centre). I sent them back and didn't order breakfast again. I understand that it's perhaps difficult to keep fresh fruit/veg at the lake but with so much local produce, I expected there to be some fresh fruit available with breakfast or fresh fruit juice available in general.

The location and the setting was lovely. Staff were very friendly. The bean tikka masala was nice.

Wifi connection can be slightly unstable

Relaxed and beautiful place. Great view from the rooms and friendly staff. Food in restaurant is great!

Stayed in November 2022

Food in the restaurant is quite expensive compared to other places I have stayed but was very tasty. Location is lovely but is quite isolated without a car, though there are trips available through the hotel if you choose.

Very peaceful. I stayed in a hut overlooking the lake. Comfortable room. Very clean. Nice to have tea/coffee facilities in the room. Lovely pool area and beach by the lake. Great cooked breakfast included in the price.
