Originally the family home of Maclean Kay, Huntingdon House was constructed in 1928 and continues to embody a colonial charm and unique character that cannot be recreated. Forming the herat of the Satemwa Tea Estate, this magnificent house is marked by sprawling manicured gardens and secret terraces waiting to be discovered by guests. Here you will have the opportunity to explore the Satemwa Tea Estate, one of the oldest and most respected estates in Malawi. The estate is managed and operated by third generation members of the Cathcart Kay family and today members of the family live onsite. If you wish, you can spend time with Chip and his wife Dawn, learning about the rich history of this exceptional property and of Malawi's tea and coffee estates.
Huntingdon House has been tastefully refurbished to offer 5 unique suites, each individually decorated to reflect the quirks and character of this grand residence. Each area of the house has a story of its own; from the original children's nursery to the resident priests quarters and private Chapel. Guests are encouraged to share in the colorful history of one of Malawi's oldest homes while being spoilt by our team of professional staff.

The warm colors and wonderful light from the bay windows at one end of this room create a fun, spacious atmosphere. The room has two twin beds and can put in one more single bed to sleep three people.
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Hannah and Nur got the gist of what we wanted our trip to be. They got us in hotels that were located centrally to historic tours. Tours and excursions that were significant, enriching and enjoyable. We had drivers that were on time/reliable. We got from location to location with ease. I would never have been able to plan this myself. I would not have known enough to ask for what we needed. This was above and beyond what I expected. Well done!
