Very nice hostel and really enjoyed my time here. Very relaxing and spent a lot of time reading my book in the garden. Loved the decor! 
Lovely, friendly and welcoming staff, clean beds, free filtered water and great food - the poke bowls were really good. 
Would recommend doing the hike to the waterfall which was beautiful. 
Good location, close to town. Defo worth a visit!

Lovely

Set in a large walled garden in the middle of the golf course and near central Zomba. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with multiple shaded seating areas around the garden. Established vegetation with good bird viewing.

There is a wide-ranging menu including many vegetarian dishes, all very well cooked and presented. Managers and their staff are friendly, efficient and helpful.  Various letting rooms and a tent available.

There is also a stage for cultural performances. Always someone interesting to meet here.

Excellent

We joined the market trip with Olivia, saw some exciting corners where you would not go by yourself..Then did the malawi cooking lesson in the garden and learned how to prepare nsima properly. Finally had a great lunch with a cold beer. 
Perfekt day, thank you all

Perfect day action

Me and my boyfriend stayed in Blend for a couple of nights in the Safari Tent, 

Price is super reasonable!
The staff are so friendly!
Food is SO GOOD!

It’s a really good location as it’s right near the Zomba Plateau we actually walked from the lodge up the Plateau!

Loved it so much we even went back a second time when passed through zomba! 

For more of an insight we made some videos on our travel tiktok 

@nadanddan_adventure 

Thank you so much BLEND X

Blend was so good we went back again!

Very clean, very helpful staff, beautiful garden with comfortable seating areas. Ideal for exploring the zumba plateau. Under new enthusiastic management. Great value for money. We wish you all the best for the future. 

Great

Such a beautiful and cosy backpackers! Very helpful and friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and so many nice cosy areas to relax and read. Staff were very helpful organizing a tour up the plateau with Isaac as well as sorting our transfer for our onward journey. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Backpackers

This place is magic! 
The  beautiful scenaary of the garden, the welcoming staff, the nice clean  rooms.
We were lucky to to be there during the weekend and ejoy to cool staff that take place.
Awsome.
This was our home away from home when we were in Malawi. When we need help Anniely  helped with just about everything.

Home away from home

We stayed in the largest en suite - loved it.  Great welcome, gorgeous landscaping, art, food - I have zero bad to say, all good.

Environmentally friendly, socially responsible, chill, comfortable, interesting, we would stay here again for sure.

Perfect for us - good environment and food

Even if the rates at Pakachere would be higher, it would still be great value for money. They are very well situated in Zomba, have beautiful spacious gardens to relax in and the rooms are comfortable. The staff is super friendly and very welcoming and the meals are great. We'll definitely go back to enjoy when they're using the brand-new stage in their garden!

Best value for money

I stayed here last week. The building is set within grassed gardens and is very community-focussed, like a drop-in. Everyone is welcome and the Dutch owners are doing a lot of community projects. They were organising Zomba Festival while we were there.

The room was great with an en-suite bathroom. There is a big chill-out area and also a wi-fi suite open to the public.

A relaxed bar and restaurant make this a good choice within a budget.
