Norman Carr Cottage – Where Time Stands Still and Nature Speaks.
Encircled by towering indigenous trees and vibrant flora, the cottage exudes a charm that has endured since its foundation in the early 1970s. Renowned for its inviting cuisine and open-air dining, each meal becomes a moment shared with the sparkling backdrop of Lake Malawi.
Our rooms, designed for comfort and tranquility, feature en-suite bathrooms with signature open-air showers and king-size beds, complemented by coffee and tea-making facilities. For the adventurers, canoeing and morning snorkeling trips offer intimate encounters with the lake’s famous cichlids, and the historic “Bonnie Fish Eagle” invites you on a cruise to behold the setting sun’s descent.
Camping is available too, with affordable rates that promise a genuine lakeside experience. The cottage’s launch, the “Bonnie Airlie”, harkens back to a 1952 cruise on Lake Nyasa, continuing the legacy of connection with the waters of Malawi.
For a day’s end, relax on the deck and witness the day’s curtain fall, as the hues of sunset dance over the calm waters, marking another day passed in paradise.
