Ideally situated in the serene Madzedze Bay, as you drive into Monkey Bay from Golomoti, you’ll discover Katawa Cottage, a new four-roomed accommodation unit in the Lake Malawi district of Mangochi. This charming Lake Malawi cottage immediately invites a sense of peaceful escape.
In September 2021, just before its official opening, I was asked to capture the beauty of the units for their social media promotion efforts.
Exposed wooden beams and the warmth of thatched roofing meet the modern amenities of the cottages.
Dreams find comfort in these beautifully coloured beddings.
The tranquil shores of the beautiful Lake Malawi, the lake of stars, are right next to the cottage.
Guests have the option of self-catering.
