"Prompt and attentive staff, especially Maria. Beautiful property with lush gardens and modern amenities. Ordering breakfast was such a breeze and daily housekeeping was an added bonus. While our two bedroom was equipped with the essentials like coffee, tea, sugar, salt and oil, it would be great if they provided paper towels to clean up simple messes and spills while cooking or to clean shoes during the rainy season when mud is hard to avoid. Overall a wonderful and affordable luxurious experience in Blantyre. Place is advertised. We will definitely book again as this place was recommended by a family member and I’ll do the same."
