"Your choice in sending
us to Londo Lodge was superb. What an incredible place! It was
remote, beautiful and true honeymoon destination. The attention
to detail at Londo was exceptional - from the furnishings in
the individual villas to the exquisite food prepared by Evelyn.
Each night we found a small handmade gift beside our beds and
on our final night we had rose petals leading from our door
to the bed! Each morning we would awake to the fishermen's chants
in their boats on the way to their various fishing locations
and in addition the lapping of the waves. It was just so peaceful!
The food was stunning, we consumed vast quantities of freshly
caught yellow fin tuna (which made delicious sashimi), crab
and langoustine. Each meal we were in a divine setting overlooking
the ocean. Evelyn is a truly superb chef! It was without a doubt
better food than I have had in any restaurant.
We did some great dives and our final of which we were able
to walk from Londo's private beach - too easy!" |

Londo Lodge is just paradise, the setting is stunning and the
hosts wonderful. Our stay at Londo was the best bit of our honeymoon,
we stayed there for a week out of our three week honeymoon and
could have stayed forever.
P-J and Evelyn couldn't have looked after us better, the food
is truely out of this world. The inspiration for the food has
clearly come from all over the world, with the finest and freshest
ingredients, I have never met a chef so passionate about cooking.
The bay was teaming with tuna and marlin, which nearly sent
my fisherman husband over the edge!
We would highly recommend this stunning, tranquil lodge which
we felt so relaxed and welcome at. |

Having spent 12 nights over christmas and new year, I can say
the following.
The setting is idylic - peace and quiet in the african bush
on the indian ocean. if you want a pina colada served on the
beach, go to the Maldives. If you want real comfort, tranquility,
great food etc., with the odd reminder of where you really are
- ie. a remote african bush setting - then here is the place.
The food is first rate if you know what good food is. The freshest
of fish, crab, etc. with asian/european/african fusion overtones.
exquisite.
If you want peace and quiet , african bird life, baboons in
the bush behind you, but with the option of a bit of diving
every now and then, loads of snorkelling off the private beach
amongst coral, a bit of water skiing, a sail in the dow boat
in the evening, a walk in the bush etc. then here is the place.
If you want full - on water sports, hobie cats, kids clubs,
tennis courts blah blah blah. then go to the Maldives.
Staff are delightful. Owners delightful. All is very laid back,
with a massage or two from Alice leaving one completely and
utterly relaxed. If you're lucky, the generator might pack up
for a while and you will have the magic of the moonlight, and
a bucket shower. We loved it.
Yes. drinks etc may appear pricey. But oddly enough, Africa
generally is pricey compared to asia, for example, and it is
not surprising that south african wine or scottish whisky served
in the remotest area of northern mozambique is more expensive
than in your local liquor store.
I would recommend people understand what type of people they
are and what type of holiday they want. But if you are looking
for something more natural, equally comfortable, excellent food,
yet less synthetic than the typical indan ocean holiday, then
this is most likely the place for you.
And remember: it is remote - that's the idea. Don't expect taxi
rides in the boat to the mainland to go shopping as one reviewer
appeared to expect, and then object to being charged! |
