I liked this lodge it is really nice and peaceful for family. Our host, Tamanya, is very kind and friendly. When we have some issues, she is ready to help it out. For myself to cook is really comfortable and Yasin and Alik these staff guys are really quiet and polite. Security is very safe. When we come to Lilongwe, we directly come here. But I am afraid after my review it will be full of all spaces when I come here.😄😄 But I wanted more enjoy from place for barbique and swimming pool. Our next coming, I will do that. Thank you for all guys here and for the owner to build like that building in Lilongwe.

The property is beautiful, but needs maintenance. If they will manage to bring it to life, it will be a great lodge. The people were superfriendly and the mango… omg… so delicious! And the location is perfect.

    My room was large, comfortable and very clean, and the staff very friendly, helpful and eager to please. One even knocked on my door one evening with a big bowl of popcorn for me to enjoy! The location is peaceful, but probably best suited to people with their own transport. However the staff and owner were very happy to arrange motorbike taxis to get me around.

    Chikondi, who runs the Quest, is very dedicated and super friendly. The breakfast is huge and so are the rooms. Perfect location between downtown and the airport, there are some nice places to eat in the area. Everything was very clean. Nice would be a cozy seating area in the garden.
