Sunbird Nkopola Lodge

Great hotel with good facilities, well maintained and great gardens. Food was good and service excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Room was good with AC and own bathroom and outside patio area with chairs and table. Nice bar area overlooking the lake.

Returned to Malawi for a holiday 25 years after leaving the country (after working there for 4 years). Spent 2 nights at Nkpola, where my wife and I had last stayed 25 years ago. Arriving just after the Presidential Elections (with the result still to be determined), the hotel was deserted. We were the only guests staying there the first night. But Reception was not very welcoming and initially gave us one of the few chalets without a beach view. We requested a lakeside chalet and one was, eventually, found.
