Matemwe Bungalows

Matemwe Bungalows has 14 en-suite bungalows built from local materials, each with a personal touch. All the rooms, as well as our restaurant are directly overlooking the Indian Ocean. You can enjoy the comings and goings of the local ngalawa fishing fleet from the comfort of your private veranda or from the restaurant.
The eight self-contained rooms and six suites have lighting and hot water both powered by the sun. All rooms have private verandas where you can laze in your own hammocks. Although mosquitos are rare in Matemwe, all rooms are equiped with a large mosquito net. The suites have large king-size beds especially suited for honeymooners. An extra single bed makes them also suitable for small families.

Seafood is the speciality of the house, with all produce bought daily from the local markets. Lunch is a buffet offering a delicious mix of African and European flavours. Dinner offers a choice of main courses between meat, fish and vegetarian. The barbeque of meat and fish is particularly popular. The "catch of the day" might actually be yours!

Early morning, tea and/or coffee will be served at your veranda. In the evening, the full moon rising out of the sea is a wonderful romantic experience you're not likely to forget.
The new open-air bar under the palm trees on the sand is a peaceful retreat.
For those who need to keep in contact with the world outside, they do offer internet and telephone/fax facilities in the main building. Television still didn't make it into Paradise.
