This is a beautiful place on a wonderful beach. But is is expensive for what you get: a tired chalet with an old bathroom, and the place generally looks worn out. Food was average, service good enough.

We had two wonderful days at Makuzi Lodge, wish we could have stayed longer. Richard, Lauren and staff did a fantastic job to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The beautiful chalets were just a few steps from the beach. Breakfast and dinner were served on the main verande looking out over Lake Malawi. The food was delicious and very... More

We spent 3 idyllic days and nights at Makuzi Beach Lodge. The setting was fantastic (secluded, well-maintained with exceptional views), the food was splendid and the service excellent. Thank you to Richard and his wonderful team for a memorable (but too short) stay. Would love to return. I recommend a walking tour to the nearby mission school (in dire need... More

We were welcomed warmly and blown away by the stunning surroundings - of a beach shore look alike on Lake Malawi. We had a wonderful bungalow en-suite at the end of the fabulous garden full of colourful trees, plants and birdlife. The staff were absolutely delightful and the food really really good - but the best moment was when we... More

Absolutely beautiful location, and the lodge too. We could borrow a tent from Richard en Lauren so we spend a few nights in a tent (so I can't say anything about the quality of the chalets). It was absolutely amazing! Waking up with a sunrise, going to bed with a moonrise. Since it was (very) low season, we were all... More

Despite my boyfriend who is from Malawi always telling me how beautiful the lake is I could never have expected it to have looked like it does at Makuzi beach. This place is absolute paradise, white soft sand, clear water and the place all to yourself. I will never ever forget my stay here, I still talk about it all... More

We stayed at Makuzi as part of our honeymoon trip around Malawi and loved it. We stayed in the tucked away honeymoon suite with private views of the lake. The accomodation was excellent, lovely bathroom and lounge area. The food was good and really friendly staff. The furniture on the beach and in the bar a little tired and in... More

My wife and I with our adult daughter stayed here two nights in April of 2011 and it was very nice. The chalets were clean, the beds comfortable and the food really quite good. We stayed on full board, had a relaxing day at the beach and were joined by two PCV's that our daughter new from the area for... More
