Norman Carr Cottage

Cloistered within the dense indigenous forest of tranquil Namakoma Bay, south-east of Cape Maclear at the southern end of Lake Malawi, this charming little getaway strikes just the right balance between organised and carefree. There's a real sense of being at home at Norman Carr Cottage, no matter how long you stay. The small team of staff, among whom is the amiable owner and host, demonstrate first-hand why Malawi is proclaimed "the warm heart of Africa". The cottage's simple, neat grounds open to the beach-front. Here, the tonics of unrivalled peace and epic adventures await, in whatever dose you require.
