The lodge is very near to the ferry. It’s like a 6min walk from there and you can see it from the port. If they ask you for pick up say no, because they only bring you by feet to the lodge (not necessary, because you can see it). The booked the room for 2 people, but we met a friend and she got an extra bed in the room for a very cheap price. Denise, the host/chef/cook, is a very friendly guy, with no stress. He can arrange trips to the island Mesali for 45$. At evening he cooks for the whole group if you want. It was soo delicious. Breakfast was around 9pm and it was also very good and enough. The rooms are very clean, the bathroom is separated with a curtain and is also clean. The only contra is that the night is very loud, so you can hear the boiler, the other people going on toilet, the stuff esrly in the morning...

This was a fabulous and unbelievably affordable holiday at LALA lodge . They go out of their way to assist you in every possible way.
We were collected at the airport and my friend arrived by ferry
We had fantastic days out to the island . The meals were all well prepared and tasty
The best was the sunset at night. Loved every minute and have already booked for September 2018. Taking my friends with this time

Lala lodge is a peaceful barefoot lodge on stilts over the beach in the south of Pemba island. Suits those looking to wind down, step of the grid and experience the local culture. Great team and food. If you are a diver suggest have a plan B in case the the weather turns. Looking forward to returning.
