Recently spent 5 nights at Malonda Lodge and had a great time, but there are few changes that could really improve the experience. The Good: The owners Grace and Gerard were fantastic, as well as the local staff. The grounds are peaceful and excellently manicured. Bungalows are large and comfortable with private bath, hot water, A/C, mini-fridge, front porches w/... More

If you're looking to escape from the city (especially if coming from DRC), this is a great destination. The location is lovely by the beach although it should be noted that it is not in Pointe-Noire but at least 30-40 minutes away. In theory, it is possible to rent jet skis etc. although this was never possible on the few... More

Coming from the caotic life in Kinshasa, staying at the lodge was a paradise-like experience. With the great wiew, savage sea, excellent food served in the restaurant and modest price, staying at Malonda Lodge was in total a well invested weekend. The rooms very comfortable and clean, pool spacious and surrondings beautiful. A big plus was the calmness. Besides from... More

I spent 10 days in the Congo in July with my husband, who was working for the Jane Goodall Institute. We travelled around the Congo, but sadly only had two nights at the wonderful Malonda Lodge. Compared to the other hotels we had either stayed in or seen this was beyond compare! Half an hour south of Pointe Noire; don't... More

We had an excellent stay at Malonda. The staff was very, very courteous, including the owners Grace and Gerard. The view was always breathtaking. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The whole place looked excellent by any standards, but superior compared to anything else one can find in the country or region. A little bit far outside of downtown,... More

I have stayed there for nearly a week and I would highly recommend to any one visiting or working in Congo. There is no place similar in this country. All the bungalows provide a magnificent view over the ocean and are nicely decorated by Grace, the owner of the place. Food is amazing also, especially fish and fresh sea food... More

We went to Pointe-Noire for the weekend - just to relax and enjoy nature. As most previous "tripadvisors" mention - this is the best place in the country to do exactly this. Price for the bungalow was 105.000,- FCFA - about 160,- Euros including breakfast. The setting is marvellous with a 150m wide and endless beach - separated from the... More

Malonda Lodge is truly a hidden gem... The decor alone is worth the visit. The kindness, warmth and generosity that we were shown made us feel like we were home and cared for like family. The level of service is outstanding, and they have thought of everything to make sure you have a nice stay. From the moment we got... More

I chose this property based on reviews on this site and for its proximity to the Angolan border (Cabinda) which is 18 km away--very easy border crossing if you have an Angolan visa in hand. It's run by an Angolan lady of Portuguese descent and her French husband who have lived all over the world and have a lot of... More
