Activities

Relaxation .... it is as individual as you are.

What ever your expectations we will endeavour to meet them here at the Castle ... from reclining on a sun lounger to paddling in a kayak ... reading in a hammock to cycling through local villages ... supping a cocktail at our swim-up bar to watching a movie under a star-filled sky ... self instructed yoga on our castle ramparts to playing a set of squash on our full-size court.

Swim up to the pool bar

You don't always need to go too far... a few lengths before a little refreshment at the pool bar.

Explore on two wheels

Feel free to take one of our bikes to cycle around the local neighbourhood or venture further afield. Just ask at reception.

Find time for the inner you

There is always time for some self-contemplation on the beach, on the castle ramparts, or in the bamboo plantation. Ask for one of our yoga mats at reception.

A spot of birding

With over 60 different species positively identified within the Castle grounds. Why not borrow our binoculars and bird books to spot our feathered friends?

Sunset on the lake

Dusk is an evocative time of day...enjoy it on our boat with a cold glass of something to toast the setting sun.

Loose yourself in literature

Curl up on one of our leather sofas or swing in a hammock with a well-thumbed book from our private library.

Enjoy being on the water

Take to the Lake on or in one of our complimentary windsurfers or kayaks.

Anyone for squash?

Don’t forget your trainers - we have a selction of raquets with which you can punish the squash ball!

Snorkel amongst the fishes

Kayak out to the nearby crop of rocks with some of our snorkelling equipment and see what you can find…

Kasasa Golf Club

Keen golfers can enjoy the 9-hole course at Kasasa Golf Club in Dwangwa where you can hire clubs and caddies... although we do have a set of clubs (both right and left-handed) if you just want to practise your swing in the grounds.

diving at Nkhata Bay

Experience the Rift Valley scenery reflected underwater in the fresh waters of the lake's rock formations, caverns and cliffs. Take the opportunity to explore the world's best freshwater aquarium whilst diving at altitude! There's a PADI dive school close by that we can put you in touch with.

Kande Stables caters for all levels of horse riding. They offer gentle guided rides through the local Brachystegia Forest, across stunning floodplains and onto the beaches of Lake Malawi where you can ride bareback in the lake - this we truly recommend! Bookings can be made via our reception.
