For 25 years, Dedza has been noted for its famous pottery; the largest hand crafted pottery in southern Africa. Dedza Pottery Lodge has six attractively furnished en suite rooms with minibars & kitchenettes. It is set in the pottery gardens next to the award winning restaurant and with stunning views of the Dedza landscape. Both the lodge and restaurant have wheelchair access.

The pottery is experienced in making special orders and insured shipment to anywhere in the world can be arranged.

The Lodge has its own guides; the most popular tour is to the nearby ancient cave and rock paintings, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are also walks on Dedza Mountain (2,160m) and a tour of Dedza Town. By arrangement local masked dancers will perform at the lodge in the evening.
