  Nice hiking opportunity. Nice pottery. The food and rooms are okay. Nice daytrip destination from Lilongwe.

  Had a great time at the pottery campsite! Very close to Lilongwe. A great time to visit Dedza after rainy season and into the winter months (April-August). The showers and toilets were very clean. And there was very hot water readily available.We were the only ones at the camp site for the 3 days that we were there. All the staff were very helpful during our stay. There are some nice hikes to go on. They can book a guide if you would like. The one we had was a staff member of the Pottery Lodge (Simioni). He was a great guide for hiking and biking. The meals at the restaurant were good. And they were pretty fast in preparing everything. The prices were very reasonable at restaurant. As well as the camping Accomodations.

  For many years I have been coming to Dedza pottery . Dedza is cooler than other parts of Malawi and the scenery is beautiful with prehistoric paintings in the vicinity . I like the pottery and the food is tasty.. best of all the venue is made more accessible to wheelchair users . This time I stayed in a very comfortable room , although there was no WiFi . There are conference facilities available and a well cared for garden . I have been watching the progress over the years.

  Dedza is my favorite weekend getaway from Lilongwe. We enjoy camping there. The food is good (it can be slow at times so call in ahead of time if you’re hungry). The service is attentive. Plus it’s beautiful! You can hike and make your own pottery over a relaxing weekend

  We came here for the pottery shop and the famous cheesecake and it did not disappoint. The shop has a big selection of wonderful pottery and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The restaurant is situated in a very cozy green garden. The food is really tasty and the portion sizes are good. The cheesecake was amazing. Service was a bit slow in the restaurant, but we did arrive unannounced in a big group.
