Pebble Stone Beach

"We stayed for a weekend in the lake view suite and it is an absolutely stunning room overlooking the lake with a large balcony. We watched as kingfisher birds flew around. The place is breezy, rustic yet well decorated and very spacious. The bathroom shower and tub were extra special with views over the water. It is self catering but the staff helped us to cook our meals and they were all terrific! This part of the lake in Salima is very quiet, secluded and private. There are many reeds around the beach area but the idea is that it is a natural vibe where everything is build around nature. So if you want the perfect beach or pool it’s not here. But here is peace and nature and a relaxing time! We would come again just enjoy the lake suite all over." - ManjoloMalawiTravel, Oct 2022
