Our restaurant and deck are on the water's edge and overlook the famous Tofo Bay swimming beach. Our restaurant offers simple meals from hamburgers and pasta to more extravagant and famous seafood platters. We try and offer as many fresh seafood dishes as possible; however this does sometimes depend on what our fishermen manage to catch on the day.

Mozambique's famous foods like peri-peri chicken, prawns and many other local dishes are also on offer in the restaurant - these all being specialities of our local chefs.

The lodge bar is a place where one can relax and listen to stories of unbelievable diving and fishing adventures, or watch satellite TV to catch up on what the rest of the world is doing while you are in paradise. The bar is well stocked with international, local and South African beverages and is open from 7.30 am till 11 pm.

Casa Barry is located at Tofo Beach, which is situated in the province of Inhambane and is 22km from the City of Inhambane.

Inhambane as a City is steeped in history as it was a favorite place for ancient sailors and slave traders to stop and replenish their resources. The natural estuary allows vessels to enter a naturally calm area where there was always fresh water and supplies. Vasco De Gama, the famous Portuguese adventurer, made Inhambane one of his favourite stop off points as he and his men were able to moor their ships in the calm bay and replenish before continuing to and from the east.

The name Inhambane means the place of the friendly people and still today this legend lives on with the local population being extremely friendly and happy.

The local population tap the juice of the coconut trees during the season when the trees are flowering and with this sap they make a favorite alcoholic drink called Sura. At certain times of the year (Sura season) there are lots of celebrations and visitors are able to taste the powerful local brew.

Beaches: The beaches around Tofo Bay are some of the best in the world. Relax and enjoy sun filled days soaking up the warmth that Mozambique has to offer. Just please remember to bring sunscreen with you as the sun can be very hot in the Summer months.

Fishing: The seas around Tofo are well known for the spectacular fishing that is available all year round. The first 1000 lb Marlin caught off the African coast was caught at Tofo and because of the very steep drop off, caused by the Mozambique current coming very close to the land, this produces a huge array of different game fish, as well as an abundance of bill fish very close to the shore.

The lodge offers fishing charters on 2 fully equipped ski-boats, either with or without tackle and with a qualified assistant, who will assist in helping you to achieve that dream of landing the "Big One".
