Nyanja cottage is a thatched house in the middle of Cape Maclear with stunning views of the lake and direct access to the beach. There are three spacious double bedrooms (all with mosquito nets & fans), a living area, a small kitchen and plenty of car parking space. It is owned by our family who live in the village and will be your hosts during your stay. Nyanja Cottage is a two storey thatched building right on Lake Malawi ("Nyanja" means "Lake" in the local language Chichewa). The cottage is fully-furnished with 3 spacious double bedrooms - two upstairs with a shared toilet and shower, and one large en-suite double bedroom downstairs. All rooms have mosquito nets and fans.There is a lounge and kitchen on the ground-floor. The cottage is very spacious and there is plenty of room to accommodate additional people if required. The Cottage is situated right in the heart of Cape Maclear Village with great views of the Lake and sunset, and easy access to shops and activities in the local village. Guests will have full access to the house and front garden. There is a large fenced area to the rear of the property, where up to 4 cars can be parked. I am currently based in the UK, but this is a family home business and my brothers and sisters will be there to welcome you to Nyanja Cottage! The family lives in the village - just a few minutes walk from where you will be living. They will be available throughout your stay to help and deal with any queries . I am in regular contact with the family, and you can also contact me via email at any time. Cape Maclear is part of the bustling local Chembe village, famous for fishing waters sports activities and amazing sunsets (this is the only part of Lake Malawi which is west-facing, so the sunset is unique!). Grace, our housekeeper, will visit every day to make beds and clean. We understand that some people prefer their privacy, so you can discuss directly with Grace once you are there and arrange with her how often you would like her to visit. There is a security guard on the property overnight. If you fancy some traditional, freshly cooked Malawian food brought straight to your doorstep, just ask us and we will prepare a delicious meal for you in our own kitchen (for a small charge). If you would like a guided tour of the village or a sunset boat cruise in a local fishing boat, we would be happy to arrange these for you too.
