“Superb”
03 May 2025
It's a great location. I especially enjoyed being outside and being right next to the river. It was a quiet atmosphere.

“Villa Cottage Liwonde: A Sanctuary of Serenity on the Shire River”
02 Mar 2025
International Travel critic: Villa Cottage Liwonde: A Sanctuary of Serenity on the Shire River Nestled gracefully on the banks of the majestic Shire River, the lifeblood of Malawi, Villa Cottage Liwonde offers an unparalleled experience of tranquility and natural wonder. This hidden gem, located within the charming town of Liwonde, provides a unique vantage point for observing the captivating wildlife that inhabits this pristine ecosystem. The setting is nothing short of idyllic. Guests are treated to front-row seats to the daily rhythms of the Shire River, where hippos grunt their contented melodies and a kaleidoscope of avian species graces the skies, making it a haven for birdwatching enthusiasts. The occasional sighting of elephants further enhances the immersive wildlife experience, facilitated by the lodge's provision of high-quality binoculars. Villa Cottage Liwonde distinguishes itself with its exceptional commitment to guest comfort and hygiene. The self-catering communal kitchen is a testament to meticulous organization and cleanliness, surpassing the standards of many establishments. The accommodations rival the quality found in top-tier lodges across Southern Africa, from Swakopmund to Cape Town, showcasing a dedication to superior craftsmanship and guest satisfaction. The lodge’s atmosphere is one of profound peace and quietude, a rare sanctuary where the sounds of nature prevail over the clamor of modern life. The meticulously maintained gardens and lush lawns, dotted with mature trees, create an inviting space for relaxation and contemplation, perfect for a private picnic accompanied by the gentle sounds of the river and its resident hippos. Service at Villa Cottage Liwonde is exemplary, with a dedicated team providing 24/7 assistance and ensuring the security and well-being of all guests.

“Nice place to stay near river, hippos were making noises.”

Situation was very nice on the river bank. Clean and big room( number 5 and 2).

“Nice place let down by a failure to provide guests with a front door key.”

The location was good, with a pleasant garden overlooking the Shire River. The staff were helpful and friendly with tips on where to go for food. The bed was comfortable with good linen and a decent mosquito net. The shower worked although the water was a bit lukewarm.
