Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Malawi

Floncy and Kondwani's home was an unforgettable local homestay base for us. This is the ultimate place to immerse yourself in Malawi culture. This community is a true village, with closeknit connections and an opportunity to meet many locals. The hosts are a young family (they have an adorable 3 year old as well), and they are incredibly kind. We opted for full board, which was amazing. Floncy is a wonderful cook, and we enjoyed learning how to make traditional dishes with her and chatting with the family during meals. We loved exploring Livingstonia by foot and on motorcycle taxis. The family also runs a community-based organization that is helping local elders, and we enjoyed volunteering with them! We've been traveling for 8 months, and this is one of our favorite places from our travels.

From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed by my host, Elisabeth. Definitely one of the most warm, kind, and helpful people I’ve met through Airbnb. Elisabeth went above and beyond to make sure my stay was not only comfortable, but memorable. The property itself is tucked away in a peaceful and safe neighbourhood, with a fantastic setting. The large garden is perfect for morning coffee, reading, or just admiring the beauty of Malawi. It truly felt like a home away from home. Everything is within walking distance – cozy restaurants, shops, and bars to have a well earned drink after a long week of work. Despite being so conveniently located, it’s incredibly quiet, and I always felt very secure. If you’re looking for a place that blends hospitality, comfort and authentic Malawian charm, this is it. I’ll definitely be back!

Host was amazing. very easy to communicate and extremely helpful. She provided information about Lilongwe and Malawi in general. Place is situated in good location. Place suited my need for my overnight stay in Lilongwe. Recommended for budget traveller.

This place is great! We really needed a last second place to stay and Efrida came in clutch. Super pretty place with massive amounts of space. All at an affordable price. Thank you to the team! 10 out of 10!

Great location and wonderful home. The house is managed along with Villa Kupa. I strongly suggest that you Google Villa Kupa and call the number prior to arrival to verify your plans and arrival time. The home itself is beautiful and the Garden is absolutely amazing, show quality. highly recommended

I would recommend this place in particular for the kindness and availability of Harrison, lily’s husband, that assisted us with every need!

Fair for the price. But we had to deal with too many mosquitoes. Bathroom also needs some adjustments because it looks scary (we couldn't even take a shower in the morning)

Very friendly family run place with excellent levels of security. Private but within walking distance and very affordable. Highly recommended and would definitely stay there again
