An owner-run, boutique hotel in Zomba Plateau, Kefi Hotel Café is suitable for families and couples, providing incredible views of both Mulanje Mountain and the city below.

The perfect stopover on arrival or departure with it being just an hour from Blantyre, this unique Malawian accommodation only has four rooms, so you can enjoy peace and quiet. Its architectural heritage combines with a modern design that reflects the town’s remarkable history. Not only that, but the café serves the best Malawian produce around, with many culinary options to choose from.

Accommodation

Kefi Hotel Café has four ensuite Queen Rooms and one Family Cottage.

Queen Room

Step out onto your private porch and take in the scenic vistas surrounded by tranquil, lush forestry. With its simple, but charming furnishings handmade using locally sourced materials, the Queen Room is a unique, personalised accommodation experience unlike any other.

Family Cottage

Sprawl out across this calm, comfortable and stylish residence just a stone’s throw away from the National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi. By opting for the Bed & Breakfast rate, you’ll even have every authentically Malawian meal cooked to perfection throughout your stay.

Authentic Malawian Dining

There are various culinary delights on display at Kefi Café.

From steaming coffees and teas to freshly baked-in-house pastries and decadent desserts, your taste buds will hang on to every tantalising treat. Incorporating the very best Malawian produce and featuring a pleasant atmosphere, this dining experience will be a true highlight of your trip.

Activities and Entertainment

As this will more than likely be an overnight stop, either arriving or departing, the experience is more about your hotel stay. However, you’re overlooking parliament buildings and botanical gardens, which are a marvel to witness. Additionally, there are plenty of trails to hike at Zomba Plateau.
