When there is nothing, what can you complain about?
My husband has been staying here since the beginning of October and the service is horrendous... they pay a fortune for food and then it is provided in the minimum quantities... the current manager is extremely rude and does nothing to resolve guest issues with regards to basic living conditions... they were given a self-catering unit with no fridge, no stove, no cookware, no kettle, they even removed the shutters of the windows... they barely have enough power to charge a phone and then when he complains, he is told he is a child and needs to grow up, (We have the WhatsApp's). How do you manage a place like this and then still expect people to stay there? There is also an additional lodge next door where the party never stops and there is no effort made to control the noise which continues all through the night and morning. The owner cannot be contacted in any manner and the manageress does not care if you complain or not, she will rather tell you to find somewhere else to stay... I won't recommend this place to anyone, not even for a night.

It was a bit hard to find but worth it (on google map look for sani beach) the location and the sandy beach on the lake are amazing! The managers are very knowledgeable and friendly. We hired a canoe (we paid for it) and this was fun. No major activities around just relaxing. The food was good and large portions- as vegetarians/ vegans the option are enough.
TNM is the only available network there.
We got the big villa which was enormous for our needs. The self catering & BBQ outside was big plus so we could have dinner or lunch on the balcony to enjoy great time
All in all highly recommend 🤙😄

We were 4 travellers originally traveling från mbeya tanzania to malawi, we found no other hotel who could help us with transfer except Dalene and Mike. Our trip changed so half The group travelled from mbeya and half flew to malawi. They were absolutely Amazing and fixed us transport both from The north border and from another hotel. They picked us up personally. Dalene and Mike are Amazing people from South africa, they both have big hearts and wants The best for their clients. All The price are fair, nothing is overprice. The lodge is fresh, clean and very Nice. The beach to The lake is very beautiful and The food is exceptional. Mike even cooked us home cooked food, which you miss when you travel long. Their staff was Amazing and bazil thaught us to play bao and he walked up a hill with us.

The scenary is Amazing around this lodge and people are so friendly. No worries to take a morning jog or play football on The beach with The local kids.

IF you ever go to Malawi, it is a Must to stay here and get to know Dalene and Mike. You will be amazed and have a wonderful vaccation.

Thank you so much Dalene and Mike for giving us The best memories, your 4 swedes.
