Dedza Pottery and Lodge

Established in 1987, Dedza Pottery and Lodge is one of Malawi's best-known tourism destinations, combining handcrafted pottery, quality accommodation, an award-winning restaurant, and conference facilities in the scenic highlands of Dedza. Set against the backdrop of Dedza Mountain and overlooking Mzengeleza Mountain, the property offers a peaceful environment ideal for business meetings, workshops, retreats, and leisure stays. The lodge is conveniently located just a ten-minute drive from the M1 Road, making it an accessible stopover between Lilongwe and Blantyre. The lodge features six spacious guest rooms designed with accessibility in mind, a campsite, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a renowned restaurant famous for its homemade cheesecakes and locally inspired cuisine. Since opening its conference facilities in 2010, Dedza Pottery has hosted numerous organisations, NGOs, businesses, and government institutions seeking a quiet and inspiring venue for meetings. The conference room is located adjacent to the restaurant and bar, allowing delegates to enjoy convenient catering and refreshment services throughout the day. Buffet lunches are prepared using fresh ingredients grown on-site or sourced locally whenever possible, with special dietary requirements accommodated upon request. The combination of artistic heritage, hospitality, and natural surroundings makes Dedza Pottery and Lodge a distinctive venue for both corporate and private events.
