Catembe Gallery Hotel Hotel

It was great staying at the Catembe Gallery Hotel, a small yet exquisite place overlooking the bay of Maputo. The hotel is located right next to the beach and has a stunning view of the city of Maputo. It features all the amenities you‘d expect from a modern/western place but incorporates unique details such as African art, paintings and a remarkable style of architecture, which truly makes it a boutique hotel. The restaurant is really nice, and I would recommend the seafood, especially the prawn curry (and the cocktails) was great! The staff was very friendly, helpful and considerate. The room was clean and furnished in a modern way, we stayed in one of the chalets which sport a beautiful sea view and are super romantic! All in all, I would definitely recommend the hotel, it was an amazing experience, especially at this time of the year. Coming back for sure! Nothing more I could ask for just continue giving the guest the great service that you provide.

This is by far one of the most accommodating luxurious hotel I have ever stayed in. The Gallery hotel is located directly on the Catembe beach. The rooms are lovely and the private balcony overlooks the bay with its local fishermen and the spectacular view on the Maputo skyline. The staff were very kind and seeking to help us the whole way along. They speak both English and Portuguese and were breathtakingly hospitable and helpful. The staff were constantly looking to please us and desiring us to have a most laid-back visit. The rooms were a good size, the beds nice and surprisingly very comfortable with nice pillows. The bathrooms were clean, the bathtub/Jacuzzi has great jets. The balcony view was lovely and it was great to wake up hearing the waves crashing on the sand. Overall, this was a great stay and I'd recommend this place if you're looking a luxury and relaxation.

I took a chance on the hotel and I wasn't disappointed. I had a bus come to pick me at jetty after crossing the bay from the Maputo end on a ferry. I had a good room and the window offered a fair view of the bay. I enjoyed the meal at the restaurant that evening. Just before then I took some pictures of Maputo across the bay. The next morning I woke up early and got beautiful shots of sunrise on the bay. Breakfast was quite nice, at the Marisol restaurant on the bay. The only snag was the road from the jetty to the hotel. It's basically a dirt road and hopefully by now, a proper tarred road would be available. Also, I couldn't explore the night life which was closer to the jetty area, but perhaps another time, I would have a longer stay and enjoy that.
