Katawa Cottage in Monkey Bay

Ideally situated in Madzedze Bay, as you drive into Monkey Bay from Golomoti, Katawa Cottage is a new four-roomed accommodation unit in the lakeside district of Mangochi.

In September 2021, just before they opened for business, I was asked to photograph the units for their marketing promotion efforts.
