MOSQUITO NETS –Please keep the doors closed as they have mosquito gauze on them and will help to keep not only the mosquitos and insects out but also cheeky monkeys.

LINEN AND TOWELS - Linen and towels are supplied for each room.
CUPBOARDS – All rooms have cupboards and bedside tables.
PLUMBING – The Conforzi Lake House is a very old house – the plumbing has been redone. Water for showers, geysers etc. is pumped directly from the lake.
KITCHEN & CATERING FACILITIES – There is a large kitchen with 2 fridges each with a section of freezer. It has a large electric stove and a smaller one – both with ovens - and a small gas stove (when gas is available in Malawi) and 2 small but very efficient wood fired “mbaula” if all else fails. There is also an outside braai which is ideal for cooking fresh lake fish. You can buy the fish locally. Although charcoal can also be purchased locally, we urge you to consider the environment and bring briquettes or use sustainably sourced charcoal.
The main house has a full selection of good quality crockery and cutlery as well as glasses and a good selection of kitchen equipment including pots, pans, kitchen utensils, casserole dishes and serving platters.
POWER – There will be times when ESCOM does not supply power. Fortunately we do have a backup generator but consider the environment before turning it on, you could enjoy a romantic candlelight atmosphere until the power returns, but if not please tell the staff to turn it on. Below are the conditions of its use:
