From the moment I arrived, Sandi & Chris made me feel like an old friend on a visit - totally relaxing! They have made such a peaceful spot, where the rooms blend in to the location.

We stayed for one night only travelling up the lakeshore road to Mzuzu and on to Karonga. As others have pointed out this isn't in Nkhata Bay but just north of Dwangwa. Nevertheless it is in a beautiful setting and the rooms in particular, in A frame chalets, are terrific. Huge beds, enormous walk in showers, no TV, very comfortable... More
