We are experienced worldwide travellers and booked a holiday to this hotel in August 2012 based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. However I was concerned, when a week before we were due to go (February 2013) I saw some very negative comments had been added. Turns out they were right. We arrived at the airport, having booked and confirmed... More

I didn't stay at the hotel, but visited from Maputo. We took the Catembe ferry accross the river. We then sat at the back of one the locals van's to take us to Catembe. It was well worth it - stunning views, nice bar over the sea, and very good food. A good afternoon out, and getting there is half... More

The trip to the hotel was supposed to last for a couple of weeks, but after only a day me and my girlfriend left for another destination. The reasons for this was very simple: - Dirty and small room along with poor standards (tiny TV that did not work, one small bed cover to share along with the whole impression)... More

Is better to arrive in the daytime because you have to take the ferry or the small boat 10Mt (0,50 cents€) duration 15 minutes. By arriving it is necessary to call the reception of the hotel so that they come to pick you at the fuel Station in front of the pharmacy tel 00258842283623. Better you reserve the luxus rooms...

My family stayed several days and nights in this hotel and we enjoyed our stay!! It is a quiet place, the only noise you hear is the breaking of the waves of the sea. The luxury rooms were equipped with mosquito nets, airco, a separate bathroom with bath, shower and lavabo, and the balcony at the seaside gave a beautiful... More

Words fail to describe the experience of the Catembe Gallery. Let's start with the reservation process - be wary of online booking. Despite having in my hand a confirmation from a well-known hotel booking site, I was told that there was no second room. Indeed I was offered the excuse that the process is a 24-48 hour one of confirmations... More

We booked the Gallery based on splendid Photo's and Expedia reviews! What the photo's and reviews did not show was the 1hr journey from the airport to the hotel, via a very congested ferry port! The luxury room was ok, though very dated (we stayed for a weekend/ Saturday night) with decent balcony views of the beach and sea. Martin,... More

I stayed on an overland tour for 1 night in the hotel. The room was small, but with everything you need including ablutions. But it we had to queue 2 hours at the ferry to get from Maputo to the hotel! Furthermore part of the group didn't have the room directly at the hotel. As the driver from the hotel... More

In agreement with Adam_in_Africa... We decided to spend 5 nights at Catembe based on Trip Advisor reviews but were greatly disappointed. The view is incredible but the service was poor and room amenities neglected. The airport transfer is more like a safari and is easy to feel like you have been dumped somewhere with no idea what is going on.... More
