Thumbi View Lodge offers pet-friendly accommodation in Cape Maclear. Cape Maclear Scuba Diving Centre is on site. Free private parking is available on site.

The property has a long private beach area with sun loungers . Guests can enjoy various activities in the surroundings, including snorkelling, diving, hiking trails, kayaking and sun set cruises.

Superb location right on the beach with a nice small pool. Very friendly staff and nice bar with good meals. I really enjoyed my three day stay at Thumbi View. Large comfortable bed with mosquito netting and lots of hot water and big thick towels! The village is quite small with a few lodges and restaurants and shops but everything you need is here. Went out to a local bar with a pool table one night which was full of locals and very friendly with great Malawian music playing. I will definitely be back.

    The location right on the water was amazing. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff were exceptional. Sitting on the verandah and enjoying the sunset makes the place special.
