A countryside estate built around good food, clear skies, and the rhythm of the land. Private villa accommodation, Harvest Table restaurant, and a working farm — twenty minutes from Lilongwe.
10 stand-alone villas — 6 Nest Villas in the garden, 4 Orchard Villas among the trees. Each is private, quiet, and designed to feel less like a hotel corridor and more like a very good friend's guest house — accommodation near Lilongwe with space to breathe.

Stay awhile.
Host boardroom sessions, team-building weekends, weddings, private dinners, and family celebrations across the Conference Centre, Harvest Table, and open estate grounds — a countryside venue near Lilongwe for gatherings that need room to think.
Our 22-seat boardroom is equipped for seminars and corporate retreats. The estate provides the setting. The team handles the rest.
The estate is at its most still. The mornings are cool and clear. The evenings invite you to slow down. This is Chalo distilled — not diminished, but quieter. More intimate. More yours.
The estate operates across irrigated farmland in Chitedze, supported by reservoir and borehole systems.
Vegetables, spices, and aquaculture are cultivated within structured growing zones that support both Harvest Table and wider agricultural production.
The farm forms the working foundation of the estate — and the reason a stay here tastes different from a city hotel.
We came for the weekend and stayed an extra night. The quiet, the food, the space — it is the closest thing to a proper countryside estate I have found in Malawi.
