We didn't stay over at the Catembe Gallery Hotel, but we took the ferry from Maputo and visited the hotel for lunch. When we arrived in Catembe, we negotiated with a taxi driver to take us to the hotel. We were glad we did, since the hotel is not within comfortable walking distance from the ferry. It took quite a... More

We stayed here on our last night in Maputo and it was amazing! We brought our car over on the ferry and coming off it, it was quite a bad gravel road through the village leading up to the hotel, but as soon as we arrived, we’d found Utopia. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful (and spoke perfect English)... More

A pity because the location is great - it's restful and sunny, but we were disapppointed by tiny room, and bathroom which you needed to be a contortionist to use - it was actually quite dangerous! We had to ask repeatedly for the room to be serviced too. The restaurant was pricey and on numerous occasions simply did not have... More

The hotel is located at a great location with a fantastic view at the Maputo skyline. The staff is friendly and the food is good. In order to reach the hotel, one has to travel by ferry which is a nice experience. With a bit of TLC (Tender, Love and Care), this hotel would be perfect as it is a... More

After having feedback on the review I did last year in which I included a photoalbum of my 3-day stay at Catembe Galley Hotel, I just want to share my excitement that I have been asked now to forward a garden design plan to make the premises even more inspiring. Because of the name, we decided the garden would become... More

Me and my boyfriend had a great idea when we decided to make the New Year in Catembe Gallery Hotel / Restaurant Marisol. The hotel is small and cozy, with a great view of Maputo city, the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The dinner was at Marisol Restaurant, with a variety of dishes, live music and DJs. The party... More

I was here on work/vacation for a week in January, and I ended up staying the weekend at Catembe Gallery hotel, which is just outside the city on the other side of the bay. This place is a unique and lovely experience, which is well worth it if you don't need to be exactly in the city center. Catembe Gallery... More

There are so many, many, small details I could rage on about the Catembe -- like their "best driver" who was an hour late collecting us from the airport -- that if I mention them all you might think these minor-to-mild annoyances clouded my judgment. They didn't. The Catembe is by far the most expensive and biggest disappointment I've ever... More

Thank you for your observations, and we take them to heart to improve our hotel. We love to inspire our guests, but are aware we can fail with some guests. We are a small hotel, with all-local staff and do not have to ‘succeed’, we enjoy what we are doing. Just as well, as we have been under attack in... More
