Mgoza Lodge

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.

It's a nice option if you want to stay in the area. Great waterfront location. Friendly staff. Well maintained and looked after. No wifi. Don't expect luxury, and bring a mosquito repellent.. Enjoy the nature and the scenery

Nice place. Very attentive staff. Good food. Nice scenery.

We had truly been looking forward to this trip to Lake Malawi, but the cottage we stayed in was just so extremely dirty, the floors had not been cleaned and in particular the kitchen (one of the reasons we opted for the cottage) was just disgustingly dirty. As if they had put the cutlery back in the drawer after eating without washing it. The pots and other utensils were sticky from grease. Cutting knife fell apart, noodles stuck on the water cooker and the whole fridge smelled of fish. We were not even offered a discount whatsoever, just a meagre sorry.

Faculties were minimalistic and on for a short stay. Staff were friendly .

Lovely place - stayed in a thatched hut overlooking the lake. Breeze from the lake meant the room was a good temperature but there was also a fan. Nice seating area in garden with small pool. WiFi available around restaurant. Really tasty well priced food in the restaurant. Great value for the price.

Very much like the picture. In our case we were upgraded without asking. Simple accomodation but great food and staff.don't judge from the street view

The place is set in a great location. They gave me an upgrade which was very much appreciated. They also helped me coordinate tours. Food was delicious! Only downside was that it was a bit noisy.
