An Eco-Retreat Near Lake Malawi with Breathtaking Views
Need to retreat, recharge and connect with nature? Or maybe you’re game for a thrilling backpack through the mountainous region around Malawi’s Rift Valley? The Mushroom Farm is an Eco-Lodge in Livingstonia, Malawi, nestled cliffside overlooking the beautiful Lake Malawi, Nyika National Park, the Rift Valley, and Tanzania's Mountain Range. The Mushroom Farm offers visitors an unforgettable opportunity to relax and unwind with breathtaking views from their own balconies, hammocks or place at the bar.
Unique, Scenic Lodging in Malawi
No ordinary accommodation to be found in this eco retreat! Your choices include lodging that varies from a small house made from natural building materials such as subsoil, stone, water and straw, to a cliffside wooden cabin perched on stone pillars, whose interior windows have you gazing directly over the Valley. There’s a three-sided A-frame with an open wall that allows you to wake up to sunrise views over Lake Malawi from your bed. There are a couple of yurt options with grass-thatched roofs, comfy beds and wooden decks with your own fantastic views.
With a nod to the international appeal of travel’s ability to discover new friends, the Mini and Big Dorms have multiple single beds, perfect for individual travelers happy to get to know each other. Not to be forgotten are the variety of campsites that The Mushroom Farm offers. Our favorite is the wooden platform built into the tree canopy at the edge of the cliff that sits waiting for you to pitch your tent!
Malawi's Best Farm to Table Food
When travelers stay at The Mushroom Farm they take part in a unique ecosystem that strives for self-sufficiency and to become part of the thriving environment within which it exists. The Mushroom Farm operates on 100% solar energy, water is sourced from a natural spring, and composting methods feed their on-site permaculture gardens. The covered, open air cliffside restaurant offers farm to table locally sourced ingredients (and a fully stocked bar).
