It's a nice option if you want to stay in the area. Great waterfront location. Friendly staff. Well maintained and looked after. No wifi. Don't expect luxury, and bring a mosquito repellent.. Enjoy the nature and the scenery

Lovely place - stayed in a thatched hut overlooking the lake. Breeze from the lake meant the room was a good temperature but there was also a fan. Nice seating area in garden with small pool. WiFi available around restaurant. Really tasty well priced food in the restaurant. Great value for the price.

Mgoza
Mgoza has the most beautiful setting with the trees and outdoor relaxation area next to the lake. Sadly my pillows had an odd smell like cat pee but the staff were amazing to change them right away. The staff helped me to organise day/boat trips which was helpful. I tried but did not get the chance to enjoy a hot shower during my stay as only cold water was available. Jeremiah at the front desk is kind and patient. Thank you for answering my questions. The main road is right behind the rooms so the loud music and people walking past is extremely loud. I can see why other reviews mention it. The food was was available and had a menu in which you could choose from.

The place is set in a great location. They gave me an upgrade which was very much appreciated. They also helped me coordinate tours. Food was delicious! Only downside was that it was a bit noisy.
