The Orange House is a five-bedroom house at Michafutene in the Marracuene district, on the inland side of the Incomati river plain that separates Maputo from the Macaneta peninsula. It is let as a whole property, air-conditioned throughout and with a private pool and parking. The Orange House is built around large groups rather than couples.
Best for
The Orange House suits a large family or a group of up to several couples who want a five-bedroom house with its own pool and space to spread out
It suits anyone without a vehicle less well, since it stands in a residential bairro some way from both the city and the beach
Location
The house is in Bairro Mumemo at Michafutene, in the Marracuene district north of Maputo and inland of the coast. In a straight line it is about 15 km west of our Praia de Macaneta reference point, with the Incomati river and its ferry or bridge crossing between the house and the beach. The setting is a residential neighbourhood rather than dune or shoreline.
Rooms and style at The Orange House
The accommodation is a five-bedroom house, air-conditioned, let as a single unit. The bed layout in each bedroom, the number of bathrooms, the total sleeping capacity and the kitchen equipment are not itemised in the available listing, so settle those details with the owner before booking, particularly the maximum number of guests.
Facilities at The Orange House
Verified facilities include a private swimming pool, air conditioning, free WiFi and free parking. No restaurant, bar or breakfast service is listed, so the stay is entirely self-catering and supplies are best bought on the way in, either in Maputo or at Marracuene.
Trade-offs and what to know
It is inland rather than on the beach, so reaching Macaneta means a separate drive and a river crossing
Nothing is catered on site, so all meals and supplies are your own responsibility
Sleeping capacity and bathroom numbers are not published and must be confirmed in advance
Getting there and getting around
Marracuene lies on the main road north out of Maputo and is reached on surfaced roads, so an ordinary vehicle is sufficient to reach the house. Getting on to the Macaneta peninsula itself involves crossing the Incomati and sand tracks beyond, so ask locally about conditions before attempting it. Free parking is provided at the house.
