Details of Matemwe Beach House

This private three bedroom traditional beach house sits just five paces from the beach, within its own walled garden, and looks out over the plunge pool to the beach and blue sea beyond.

There is full butler service, so guests can remain tucked away in their house in complete isolation, or are able to wander over to the main lodge for meals, drinks or other activities such as diving and snorkeling.

Matemwe Beach House can sleep 6 people. Two double bedrooms are on the ground floor with a beautiful mezzanine bedroom upstairs.

The master bedroom offers a king-sized bed with a framed mosquito net and en-suite bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has twin beds and an adjoining bathroom with both bath and shower.
