    You could stay here and be within the compound only and you would have enough wine beer and food to be very happy. Evening food is traditional and very cheap. Staff are brilliant, laundry service was very cheap (mk500 item and same day owing to the Malawian sun) On Saturday & Sunday there are often family events where locals use the facilities, a sign to me that the manager Gerald and the owner Titan are well though of.

    The rooms were clean and furniture were new. Nice food at the restaurant. Just outside the gate, a morning street market and a pub to meet locals at night

    Yami was super helpful! He helped us figure out food for my vegan girlfriend, taxis when we were struggling, and was just all around a great host! Also breakfast was very nice and a good amount of food, and the place itself was spacious and clean!
