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!

"A friendly and comfortable B&B on the shores of Lake Malawi!"

10.0

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. :)

"Two nights is not long enough to really enjoy what Norman Carr has to offer"

10.0

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

Everything is priced in dollars. This is perfectly reasonable as long as you have large denomination dollar notes to pay, this will considerably reduce the cost of your stay.

"Hiding out on the shores of Lake Malawi, enjoying its' many moods while watching with a G&T."

7.0

Taffy and Leonie were gracious hosts! Serving staff were attentive and courteous, always willing to assist with our needs. The location on Lake Malawi is fantastic. Our room was well designed, comfortable and we were able to relax in privacy. The outdoor shower was unique and fun.

Some minor repairs would add polish to the accommodation - prevention of water entering the toilet area, mosquito netting replacement, minor and preventative roof repairs. The drive from Lilongwe meant we arrived late at night, and we would recommend an overnight there, if your plane arrival is later in the afternoon.
