I stopped off here for 2nights after spending some time working in the North. It's off the beaten track and you're not really sure where you are going to end up as you drive down a long dirt track but what awaits you at the end is worth it. It is a hidden treasure, the staff were friendly and very... More

As a two night stop off by Lake Malawi travelling from Mzuzu to Lilongwe I can highly recommend Fish Eagle Bay. Off the beaten track, directly on Lake Malawi you will find this wonderful waterside retreat. Rooms tastefully decorated, clean and spacious, this lodge was the perfect location to unwind after a very busy week. Staff could not have been... More

At $7 per campsite this place is great! The campsite is right on the beach, it's clean, has lights, power socket, water tap, braai pit and shade with table and bench.It's everything you would need at a campsite. It's very secluded though and we were the only guests here when we stayed. They have good reasonably priced food (and beers!)... More

It might help other travellers to confirm the good reviews of Fish Eagle Bay Lodge: the location is lovely, onto a wide, beautiful sandy beach, and the Africa-style chalets are lovely too, though a little constrained by the very rural location. We found the food good rather than outstanding - we were there in June, and it felt a little... More

I regularly visited the Fish Eagle Bay lodge in Aug-Oct 2011 whilst working in nearby Nkhotakota. The location is stunning, right on the shores of the magnificent Lake Malawi, with beautiful, long stretches of beach, which are almost deserted, with just a few locals around and almost no other tourists. The food was top notch - a good selection of... More

We were driving up from South Africa to Kenya via Moz and Malawi. Second day in Malawi found us near Nkhotakota and Fish Eagle Bay Lodge was recommended by some local kids in the town. Found Anchen and Camille a haven from the trip and their spot on the lake is wonderful. Their hospitality is legendary and it was a... More

Our friends stayed in comfortable rooms, but we wanted to be right NEXT to the lake, the first to see the sun rise and the last to see it set - it was beautiful! The camping spot has good lawn (it could accommodate 3-4 tents) and the ablutions have warm water and brand new spotless amenities not far from the... More

The accommodation is comfortable. The service good and unobtrusive. We were well catered for with excellent food. Vegetables are from their organic garden. Contacts to the bush telegraph enabled us to buy diesel. Cammile is a godsend.
