; chalets US$55, dm MK1500; )
Cheap-
er and more low-key than nearby Gecko, Mgoza has bags of charm with brick-and-thatch
cottages spaced around a leafy garden. Rooms are spacious, cool and split-level with
wood-panel baths, pretty curtains, huge beds, and billowing step-in mozzie nets.
There's also an inviting restaurant with an upstairs viewing deck for sundowners. And
finally, the staff, run by Kay, are especially warm.

)
Monkeys' dorms and rooms are clean and cool with fans, while pitches are
shaded. Come evening the bar stacks up with a lively crowd. It also holds the traveller
crown as Cape Mac's most popular midscale place to eat - probably thanks to its easy
vibe, tasty salads, pizza, and excellent chambo and kampango fish.

Malambe has shaded pitches fa-
cing the beach just a few yards away, a spotless ablution block, and a cool bar piping out
Boney M. In fact with its tempting loungers and many hammocks, it feels like a slice of
Jamaica.
The cafe dishes up toasties, pasta and curries as well as decent breakfasts. You can also
hire snorkel gear here (US$5). Choose from simple huts constructed from reed mats, per-
manent tents (with proper beds inside) or a large, light reed dorm.
