    No bath salts for the stylish stand alone bath. The bubble bath did the trick and the rain shower had strong pressure. Enjoyed the lighting and wooden shutters, there is a sense of understated luxury in the clean lines and scale of the room.

    Tranquil, luxurious with great spaciousness and attention to detail in the design. Excellent chef. Lovely pool outside my room and mature verdant gardens. Outdoor living room of huge scale, really beautiful space to work in.

    Food is still incredible! Though the breakfast bar seemed a bit sparse compared to the past. BUT, the cooked breakfast was excellent.

    This was my fourth time staying here. It was beautiful as always!!

    This lodge is a gem, quiet and in a nice area. The rooms are cozy, beautiful, comfortable, with direct access to the garden. Very relaxing common areas with self-serve bar, only four rooms so it’s never crowded. One of the best places to stay in this part of the world.

    A very quiet reminder to put beers in fridge early.

    Everything was spotless and seemed to work effortlessly. Dinner and breakfast were very good. A special thank you for helping us out with diesel during the shortage. An oasis in Lilongwe.

    There are some repairs that need to be done on pool deck and on the wooden rungs on the wall separating the pool from the garden. A light on the wall is also loose.

    The property is in a quiet, safe neighborhood of Lilongwe. The property comprises of 4 lovely rooms, beautiful gardens and a Pool. I loved the lounge and dining spaces - diverse, well thought out and gives residents great space to sit, work and eat. There is also a barbeque area. The rooms are large with great decor. They also have an outdoor verandah where you can sit. The pool was close to my room and a nice garden. I love nature and the green elephant has great natural space (Gardens). It was amazing waking up to the chirping of birds. The meals are very good, Leonard does a great Job and will work to accommodate your preferences if the menu for the day is not to your taste. I did not need to go out to dine. You can have one to three course meals here. I also liked the concept of the Honest bar. The staff are very helpful - Ganisani especially is always on hand to assist- and he keeps his word and timing- I really appreciated this very much coz it is rare these days. He is a great team leader and works well with the other workers. I really enjoyed my stay here... it is my kind of place - Cozy, warm, great food, well-tended gardens and lovely staff.

    Nothing it was exceptional. In fact we changed our plans to return there so had 3 nights over two stays in two different rooms. Only suggestion would be to supply luggage racks in rooms.

    Stunning private gardens with pool. Only four rooms but big and beautiful. Lounge and dining room was large with self-catering bar and many options for sitting and dining.

    Nothing about the lodge...but Ulendo (the group that owns this lodge) has other lodges and activities, and all seemed very professional and organized to me...one more reason to have nice global visibility, and for that, having a top-notch working website, would be a plus.

    If you go to Lilongwe, this is the place to stay! Incredible facilities and a staff that makes everything to make you feel at home. A special mention to Cani, who goes over himself to provide you with everything you need. If I ever go back to Lilongwe I surely have to return!
