Nkhudzi Beach Lodge

8/10 Good

"Lovely location overlooking Lake Malawi. The staff were so friendly. Breakfast in the morning could have included local fresh fruit like water melon, paw paw, guava, pineapple. Very cheap to buy at the local market. The kitchen was away from the dining area so the cooked breakfast especially, would have been hotter if the plates had covers over them when carried down to the dining area. One big improvement they could make is to supply mugs, a kettle, tea and coffee in the rooms. Another recommendation is to have plastic cushions on the wooden chairs down in the dining area. Being plastic they could then be wiped down when necessary. We spent five days there and we would definitely stay there again."

Quest Lodges and Safaris

10/10 Excellent

"This rustic accommodation was perfect for our three nights at beautiful Lake Malawi, right on the lake with stunning views. Shad looked after us so well and his meals were delicious. Unfortunately, during our stay there was no Wi-Fi, although efforts were made to restore it. We would happily stay here again."

Mgoza Lodge

8/10 Good

"Very attentive staff. Very nice location!"
