Casa Malcampo is a self-catering beachfront property at Tofinho, on the southern side of Praia do Tofo in Inhambane Province. Rather than a single building it is a small estate of separately named houses and cabanas let whole, so a booking gives you a house rather than a room. Casa Malcampo publishes its own coordinates, which makes it straightforward to locate on the Tofinho side of the headland.
Best for
Casa Malcampo suits families or groups travelling together who want a whole house on the beach and are content to cater for themselves.
It suits less well solo travellers or couples looking for a serviced room with meals included, since the accommodation is let as self-catering units.
Location
The property sits at Tofinho, the headland section south of Tofo village, with direct beach access. In a straight line it is about 2.5 km south of our Tofo village reference point.
Rooms and style at Casa Malcampo
Four accommodation categories are listed. Casa Baleia is the main double-storey house with six double bedrooms sleeping twelve; two of those bedrooms are en suite and the remaining four share two separate bathrooms. Casa Golfino has four bedrooms, three double and one twin, sleeping eight, and every bedroom has a mosquito net and a fan. The cabanas are single-bedroom units for two people with a fully equipped kitchen, an interior bathroom and a timber sea-view deck. A fourth category, Houses at the Lake, is named but not described in detail, so ask about it directly.
Facilities at Casa Malcampo
Verified facilities include self-catering kitchens in the cabanas, mosquito nets and fans in the Casa Golfino bedrooms, en-suite and shared bathrooms in Casa Baleia, sea-view decking and private beach access. Air-conditioning is not stated anywhere on the official site, so do not assume it.
Trade-offs and what to know
Beds and bathrooms differ sharply between units, so the experience depends heavily on which house you are given.
Some of the units listed, including Houses at the Lake, are barely described, which makes comparison difficult before you commit.
Self-catering means shopping and cooking for yourself; the official site does not describe a restaurant on site.
Getting there and getting around
Tofinho is reached overland from Inhambane town by way of Tofo, and the final approach runs through the dune village rather than along a main road. The official site does not state whether a four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed, so check when you enquire. Activities such as diving, ocean safaris and horse riding are arranged in the surrounding area rather than on site.

Before you book
Confirm which house or cabana you are booking and how many it sleeps, whether linen, towels and a cook or cleaner are included, and how the kitchen is equipped in the larger houses. Ask about power supply, water, vehicle access to the plot and parking, and settle the deposit and cancellation terms in writing, since none of these appear on the official site.
