Chintheche Inn

Chintheche Inn is situated on the sandy beaches of the northern lake shores with the Viphya Mountains as a backdrop and remnant patches of tropical rainforest nearby.  Chintheche has one of the most beautiful settings in the country and is surrounded by a variety of activity options - the local village and market are always entertaining and the nearby Bandawe Mission offers a fascinating insight into the countries past. The beach offers swimming (and there is a pool for rough weather!),wind surfing, sailing and beach barbeques can be arranged.  Other activities of offer include mountain biking and horse riding.

There are ten comfotable en-suite rooms all in a central block facing the lake with the gardens behind.  There is a central dining area and bar though usually dining takes place under the stars (weather permitting!).  This is an ideal spot for a family beach break or for those wanting a comfy hotel stop to use as a base to explore this interesting region.  Mzuzu is an easy couple of hours away if you need to visit there and inland is the Luwawa forest area which can be linked on for hiking and riding.  Not far south at Kande is a well run horse riding establishment where you can take horses into the surrounding hills and along the beaches.
