Set in the foothills of the Zomba Plateau, Annie's has a bar-restaurant with an appealing terrace for a sundowner, and black-and-white-brick chalets with green tin roofs, engulfed in palm trees and flowers. The 40-plus rooms are carpeted, clean and welcoming, with DSTV, bathroom and fan or air-con.
The executive rooms are housed in a new wing and sit at the top of the plot; what they lack in old-fashioned charm they make up for in great views. Self-catering apartments are also available. In late 2016, an annexe was under construction down the hill.
