There’s nothing quite like waking up to the sound of swirling waves and the smell of sea air through your bedroom window. Beachfront accommodation comes in a variety of forms, from well decked-out resorts to secluded homestays and villas. Beach hotel amenities can include air-conditioned rooms, private terraces overlooking the sea and outdoor pools with adjacent bars.
I had the most relaxing stay at Norman Carr Cottage. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the private beach is idyllic. Leonie made me feel at home from the second I arrived. Both Taffy and Leonie are wonderful hosts and lovely to chat to. I look forward to coming again next time I’m in Malawi!
The place is very beautiful, right on the lake with a privte beach.
It's cheap. The staff are helpful. The design is nice.
Was lucky had a room on my own.
Staying at Norman Carr Cottages is like going to stay with your cool Aunt and Uncle at their beach house! A gorgeous location right on the shores of Monkey Bay. Lovely rooms with a huge bed and a fun outdoor shower. Meals were delicious with plenty of food to fill you up. The boat trips were excellent - do try and make the most of them! All staff were friendly and professional. Lots of monkeys and cats to keep you company on site too. Thanks Taffy, Leonie and all the wonderful staff for a lovely stay. :)
The location on the lake, the quality of the beach and the water were superb.
The hosts were very friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining, the use of a motor launch for sunset drinks and feeding fish eagles was well priced and a great experience.
Being completely away from the world. It felt like being a house guest.
Quirky outdoor shower and washbasin
Comfortable bed and sitting area
The place in amazing. So beautiful and the location is quite and relaxing. They lit a fire on the beach and played the drums with everyone joining in. Lovely experience.
