A lovely location with good food and drink

All great, loved the place and location. Awesome kitchen! Will come back for sure

I truly enjoyed my stay at Chipatso! I originally planned to spend just one week in Cape Maclear, but I ended up staying for eight weeks. The lodge is located in a peaceful spot a little away from the lake, which creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere – perfect for escaping the busier parts of town. That said, the lake is still just a short walk away, so you can easily enjoy the beach and the water whenever you like. The vibe at Chipatso is super laid-back and family-like, and you feel welcome right from the start. The rooms are clean, cozy, and very creatively designed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. What made the experience truly special were the people: the lovely mamas who live on the property are so warm and kind, and the kids are curious and always up for some fun. The rest of the Chipatso team is amazing – friendly, helpful, and always there when you need something, whether it's arranging transportation to your next destination or helping you organize an activity. And what makes Chipatso truly unique is that it’s not just a lodge – it’s also a community-based organization with a meaningful mission. They run an education and nutrition program, and support single mothers in the area. If you're interested, don’t miss the guided tour with Kim, where he shares the inspiring story behind the organization and the important work they’re doing. Also, don’t miss the sunset hike to the baobab tree with Ilia – it’s absolutely worth it! And make sure to try the chicken schnitzel – so good. Thank you so much for this amazing time! I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Very nice and für egg badly people, clean, everything’s perfect! Right in front of the beach.

We had a fantastic stay at Mgoza lodge. The room was spacious and clean. The bar/restaurant and garden areas are great places to relax and enjoy the stunning view of lake Malawi, as well as talk to other guests. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious. The local community around the lodge are friendly. There was often electricity cuts (not through the fault of the lodge) so a torch and battery bank was useful to have. We only wished we could have stayed longer!

Best affordable place in Nkhata Bay to relax. Dorms have lake view and you fall asleep listening to lapping waves. Everyone is so friendly. Beautiful open shower adds to the experience. No problems checking in if you arrive at 9-10pm with Kwezy Bus.

Beautiful location. food very nice staff very helpful lots of activities on site

Excellent beach and great swimming pool. New rooms are very nice.

Superb location right on the beach with a nice small pool. Very friendly staff and nice bar with good meals. I really enjoyed my three day stay at Thumbi View. Large comfortable bed with mosquito netting and lots of hot water and big thick towels! The village is quite small with a few lodges and restaurants and shops but everything you need is here. Went out to a local bar with a pool table one night which was full of locals and very friendly with great Malawian music playing. I will definitely be back.
