    Super relaxing stay in relative isolation.

    Had a great stay with Taffy and Leoni. They were exemplary hosts. We sat and chatted with them a lot. The property was very pleasant to relax at. 'Almost' private beach. Locals would still cross and smile and wave. Staff were very friendly (Who isn't in Malawi?). Meals were excellent. Super relaxing spot. Room was spacious with outdoor shower. Didn't realise until the day of arrival that the main building had actually been built and lived in by legendary conservationist Norman Carr. Highly recommended. A completely different atmosphere to staying in the town of Cape Maclear where we also were. Thanks guys!

    The only small negative I can think of was that the fan in the bedroom was so powerful (even on the lowest settting) that we ended up turning it off due to the noise.

    Je voelt je superwelkom op deze uitzonderlijke locatie

    De warme ontvangst, de vele verhalen van de gastheer, de extreme flexibiliteit, het voederen van de arenden, het lekkere eten, … Laat je niet afschrikken door je eerste indruk (je hebt het idee dat je verkeerd zit en de bordjes kunnen een laagje verf gebruiken:-) ), het is hier fantastisch!
