Tete Ferry Sun is a riverside hotel resort on the banks of the Zambezi River in Tete, set across a 10-hectare property. Rather than conventional hotel rooms, Tete Ferry Sun is built around individual one, two and three-bedroom villas, each with its own terrace, and forms part of the Southern Sun hotel group’s presence in Tete.
Best for
Tete Ferry Sun suits travellers wanting a self-contained riverside villa with its own kitchenette, including business visitors using the on-site conference venues.
It suits less well guests seeking a small, intimate guest house, since the property runs to 143 villas spread across a large riverside site.
Location
Tete Ferry Sun sits directly on the Zambezi riverbank in Tete city. In a straight line it is about 1.1 km north-east of our Tete city reference point.
Rooms and style at Tete Ferry Sun
Accommodation at Tete Ferry Sun is arranged as one, two and three-bedroom villas — 143 in total — each with a small kitchenette and a private terrace facing garden or river views, rather than standard hotel rooms.
Facilities at Tete Ferry Sun
Verified facilities include a 20-metre outdoor swimming pool (open seasonally from September to May) with a jacuzzi, a gym open from 05h00 to 23h00, the A Brasa restaurant for flame-grilled dining, a bar with deck seating, two conference and event venues holding up to 180 guests, free on-site parking, and free uncapped WiFi in the main areas and in the villas.
Trade-offs and what to know
Being organised as a large villa complex rather than a compact hotel building means the property can feel spread out for guests who prefer everything within a short walk.
The swimming pool is only open seasonally, from September to May, so it will not be usable on every visit.
Fixed check-in and check-out times (from 14h00 and before 11h00) mean travellers on early or late flights should plan around them.
Getting there and getting around
Tete Ferry Sun is reached by tarred road within Tete city, on the Zambezi riverbank near the town centre, and the property states that transfers can be arranged from Chingozi Airport nearby.
