Excellent restaurant, nice cottages and grounds
Overall excellent stay. Food at the restaurant is superb. Grounds are well-maintained and quite nice. Cottages are private, are secure and roomy, and come with A/C, Wifi, television. Walking distance to a nice wildlife sanctuary. Cons: cottages could be a bit better cleaned and updated. Overall would recommend staying here.

Seen better days
This hotel has seen better days. It seems to need some repairs and the shower was not overly clean, potentially mold as can be seen in the picture. The wifi in our room did not work, reception said it would be fixed but no one showed up in the two nights we stayed there. If you want to use wifi in the restaurant/bar you have to pay an extra fee which seems weird as I am already paying to be a guest at the hotel and the wifi in the room doesnt work. The food from the restaurant is fine, nothing to rave over. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

If only it was an Indian restaurant...
Stayed here for two nights, staff amazingly friendly and helpful, lodges a bit tired but great surroundings. The place is run by an Indian family and the owner cannot be more helpful or friendly. I have to say that the Indian food I eat on both nights was amongst the best I’ve eaten anywhere in the world, it was simply stunning. The hotel has 3 Indian chefs and on both nights local members of the Indian community were dining in large numbers always a good sign. The chicken tika starter was huge and to die for. Unfortunately I can’t recommend for business travellers as the WiFi was poor, it cut out frequently and was totally unreliable to the point of extreme frustration. I changed lodges but to little effect. So, amazing restaurant, great staff, dreadful WiFi so if you’re in Lilongwe on business you might want to stay elsewhere unless you love amazing Indian food

Peaceful Woodlands
Beautiful and tranquil place inside of gorgeous and peaceful park away from heat and bustling city. A lot of trees, shade and calmness. Only issue I had was cabin 6 which had WiFi problem so they moved me to number 9 which was better. Only thing with design about this property is swimming pool which is literally attached to the restaurant and makes it less comfortable. But place is awesome and food is good.
