Sunbird Waterfront

Sunbird Waterfront

📍 Senga Bay, Senga, Salima
★★★★ 8.8 (42 reviews)

"We had an amazing, beautiful stay. From the moment we got there, all staff were very welcoming ( Bertha at the reception was such a joy), everyone was polite, always smiling, made sure everything was okay from the room, food etc. You can tell and see that every department works very hard and together they just give the best service overall. Beautiful room with a beautiful view of lake malawi. Giving one of the best views of the sunrise too. The cleanliness was 10/10 everywhere. The food was very nice and freshly made. Will be visiting again in the future without a doubt."

★★ 8.4 (19 reviews)

"29th October was more like taking too long to come for my family. When it came, the whole family was excited and we kicked off and crossed the boarder Mwami at about mid day...from Zambia Chipata after driving from South Luangwa . We drove up to Lilongwe where we had lunch before proceeding to the cape. We arrived late evening at Mgoza Lodge. We were welcomed and the family was shocked to hear the noise made by the waves from the lake ...they all dashed to have the look at the lake but there was little to watch as it was dark only a few lights could determine how far the water cover. We had our evening meal and the staff were so friendly and later went to bed When morning came, i was surprised that, everyone was up by 05 am all were running on the nice sand of the lake shore ... Mgoza was so nice to stay and mostly when we took the boat ride to watch the fish eagle catch fish which we fed them and also saw,the fish eat bread..it was such a memorable event. The trip was a success only that when my family demanded to visit Mangochi town , I forgot to carry Malawi Kwacha instead i carried USD. No one within town accepted my US dollars including all the shop dealers as well as shopping mails in Mangochi town...they all refused If you are planing a trip to cape Maclear, remember to have your money changed to Malawi Kwacha to lessen the pressure in case you want to use cash. Thanks to Mr Moses Phiri, the owner of MOZE TOURS travel AGENT, for organising and recommending Mgoza Lodge. It was so nice that even on our trip He could call us and check with us if all was well as we enjoyed our 4 days holiday. Looking forward to making another trip to Malawi in 2024."

"Fantastic lodge to spend a relaxing couple of days. Beautiful surroundings and comfortable and very clean rooms. Great view over the lake where you see the boats from the nearby fisher’s village. What also makes this place unique is the welcoming atmosphere, created by the staff!"

Lakeside Hotel

Lakeside Hotel

📍 S122, Plot No 13, Senga Bay, Salima
★★★ 5.8 (8 reviews)

"I have never written a review like this, but people need to be warned. We booked this hotel largely because of the pool and lakeside location. When we arrived, not only was the pool unusable, but there was no wifi, our room had no air conditioning, there was little to no protection from the insane amount of bugs invading our room, and the shower didn't drain. The rooms are not even close to being worth the price they charge and were clearly neglected after many years of little maintenance. We reported everything immediately. The next morning, the manager responded with excuses and even tried to shift the blame onto us. After a heated argument, they reluctantly agreed to refund our second night so we could leave. However, they claimed to not have any cash and the only option was to wait until Monday morning. We didn't have enough cash to pay for an alternative on Saturday evening, so we had to head back to Lilongwe. The weekend was ruined. The owners live in Lilongwe and clearly don't care enough to invest ANY money back into the hotel. Absolutely zero maintenance or customer service training. The best thing about this hotel is the incredible photographer who took the pictures you can see on Google Maps! By the way, those pictures are like 10 years old. Very misleading. Avoid this place. There are far better options."

Sunbird Waterfront ★★★★
"I went to Sunbird Waterfront for the first time not knowing what to expect as a very discerning traveller. I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxing sound of the waves crashing to shore, The bartender was able to make me a vesper, like no other in Malawi most of whom could not even make it. Go here to digitally detox and lounge around letting the sound of the waves relax you. A great book, a cigar and a great bottle of wine."

Mgoza Lodge ★★
"I stayed at Mgoza lodge for four nights. I was able to both fall asleep and wake up to the waves on the lake shore because our room was right by the lake. The food tasted really great, and they had new specials each night. Their beach was rough with larger sand grains, broken glass, and missing stairs, but I didn't let that stop me from going swimming each day. I also really enjoyed how there were tour guides there ready to take you out. Ants were also everywhere, but the grassy courtyard that was shaded by several large trees was a great place to relax and get out of the hot sun. The owner Alan was really friendly and helpful too."

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★
"The place is serene and always a good getaway surrounded by water, monkeys and cozy chalets fit for different family sizes. Beach is excellent for meditation at sunrise or at sunset if you prefer. Staff are friendly and ready to help 😺 The breakfast was however cold and there was no variety compared to the other visits."

Sunbird Livingstonia Beach ★★
"I stayed here for 13 nights on business in October. Being in my own I was concerned but I need not have worried. I was welcomed from the word go. It’s a very safe hotel with security visible and not once did I feel unsafe. The staff to guest ratio is high and so there is always someone to help it look after you and are very willing to do so. The food is what you would expect from a hotel of this quality. The beach is lovely and the staff are so flexible they serve you there even at night."

Lakeside Hotel ★★★
"We were three couples and stayed two nights. Most rooms had issues, door not closing, generator noise, etc. Complained but to no avail Breakfast was below par and most dishes were served cold to luke warm. Baked beans straight from the can not even microwaved - lol We took the best rooms supposedly lake front, but these were over looking / obstructed by the restaurant The guest manager was the only professional person we came across. Dinner order was wrong ( Chicken Biryani instead of Vegetarian), slow service, one bath towel per room and the gardens are not visually appealing Would not recommend"
