I just wrote about Casa Rossa (where we only ate) and the main reason we didn't stay there was because this place is a bit more central and pretty decent for a backpackers. If the weather had been better, the other place would be cool to put a tent up at, but as it was, Pakachere was a perfectly good... More

This backpackers is a great place to stay for a few days. Comfortable beds, a large communal area, a cozy bar and a huge garden to chill in. The restaurant serves several changing meals and the staff is really friendly. Zomba town is just 5-10 minutes walk down the fields. Really enjoyed our time here!!

We were delighted to find this backpackers as all other accommodation was very pricey. It is conveniently located near the town and close to hiking trails. Very comfortable dorms, a nice bar, big garden and good food but menu was limited. Wifi available and the staff were very helpful when organising a trip to the plateau.

We were very happy to find this backpackers place in Zomba. The beds were very comfortable. The restaurant/food needs some help! They also kept our bags while we hiked up to Zomba plateau for a few days which was very convenient for us.

We camped here for two nights and found the accomodation great, It was pricier than we had paid elsewhere in Malawi but clean, good kitchen facilities and a huge garden for sitting out in. Bar area was nice as was the food, Zomba town is 5/10 minutes up the hill and is a great place with a fab market. All... More

This backpackers is really clean and they have good food. Also the bar is a nice place to hang around. They have a big garden where you can chill during the day, they have a sort of a picknick terrace. It's on the foot of Zomba Plateau on walking distance from town (5-10min walk). I would totally recommend this place.... More
