Sehr einfach eingerichtet. Shampoo nicht vorhanden. Gerichte oft nicht verfügbar aber ansonsten gut. Einfach etwas um im typischen afrikanischen Leben einzutauchen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

New years stay
A really lovely lodge in the best location in Cape Mclear, it had the most amazing chef and restaurant and lovely gardens. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. It’s also felt very safe.
The room was a little tired and bathroom needed to be a little cleaner, however this is a country that has very limited resources so it was always going to be different to a western and more developed experience.
It’s definitely the place to stay in this beautiful corner of Malawi!

The best place to stay on the lakeside
I loved this little place, thought it was the prettiest and most charming along the beach. Having a bar and restaurant onsite was definitely a bonus. The staff are lovely and I would really recommend doing the sunset boat trip with snorkeling and eagle feeding. Overall excellent value, so much so that we thought we were undercharged for all our food and drink!

I stayed at Mgoza lodge for four nights. I was able to both fall asleep and wake up to the waves on the lake shore because our room was right by the lake. The food tasted really great, and they had new specials each night. Their beach was rough with larger sand grains, broken glass, and missing stairs, but I didn't let that stop me from going swimming each day. I also really enjoyed how there were tour guides there ready to take you out. Ants were also everywhere, but the grassy courtyard that was shaded by several large trees was a great place to relax and get out of the hot sun. The owner Alan was really friendly and helpful too.

Mgoza
Mgoza has the most beautiful setting with the trees and outdoor relaxation area next to the lake.
Sadly my pillows had an odd smell like cat pee but the staff were amazing to change them right away.
The staff helped me to organise day/boat trips which was helpful.
I tried but did not get the chance to enjoy a hot shower during my stay as only cold water was available.
Jeremiah at the front desk is kind and patient. Thank you for answering my questions.
The main road is right behind the rooms so the loud music and people walking past is extremely loud. I can see why other reviews mention it.
The food was was available and had a menu in which you could choose from.
