The Cabana

JohannaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

the cabana is really nice! we enjoyed our stay very much - the road to MacClear is very new (majority of the way super easy!). the lake is great, the view from the porch is phenomenal! local veggies and cold drinks can be bought in vicinity to the house. Hopefully we can come back!

Kalibu Cottage

RafiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

A great, quiet spot, a bit off the beaten path. Lots of space - 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, dining room, living room, amazing garden. Kitchen is sparse so bring your own salt, oil, etc - but they had the utensils and appliances we needed. Anwar was a great communicator, and Edith kept the place very clean! Garden was magnificent with unparalleled access to the beach.

Area 43 Executive Apartments No3

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Spacious, clean apartment. Beds are comfortable and have good-quality mosquito nets. Kitchen is well-equipped and we have been able to cook all of our meals here during our long-term stay. The wifi is reliable and there is a back-up battery for when the electricity goes out. All appliances work and are good quality. They have an excellent housekeeper who comes when you need her and does an excellent job. Security is also very good. As for Mercy and Innocent, they are terrific. They collected us at the airport, have responded with helpful recommendations for services we needed, and are truly kind, good-hearted people.

Achemwali house in Area 3 Lilongwe

DominiqueRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Marjan 's place is like a little island of heaven in Lilongwe. The house is so welcoming, and the staff too. It gives you a feeling of being at home. You can walk to old town in less than 20 minutes and if you need to travel by bus outside Lilongwe it's not far from bus companies. The garden add a special touch of rest and peace.

Safe and Smart; all to yourself

KandisRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Very thankful for this house location and amenities. Travelling from Canada with a toddler, we felt comfortable on this return / 2nd visit. The AC, Wifi, hot water, and backup generator are strong and dependable. The beds are comfortable and room sizes are good. My international family and local family will definitely use this rental again.

Ticia Apartment, Chipata

DianeRating, 5 stars9 months ago

The hosts were very welcoming - very attentive and helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. The apartment was well equipped with modern amenities and the hosts had even left some treats to enjoy! The apartment is a great place to stay in Chipata - quiet and peaceful, out of the main hustle and bustle of the town. I was there for work and it was the ideal place to stay. Cleaning staff are friendly and there is good security with guards on both day and night. I would highly recommend this apartment as an alternative to a lodge especially if you like to prepare your own meals and have flexibility. I look forward to going back in the future!

The exterior view showcases a staircase leading to a covered patio with outdoor seating. Decorative plants are positioned by the stairs and on the patio, where hanging lights add a touch of charm. A warm sunlight bathes the well-maintained facade.
