Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property manager was gone but had not even told staff to prepare for our arrival. Had to wait for rooms to be prepared. Went out for a drive and could not get back inside but waited while ringing the bell for fifteen to twenty minutes. Should have been provided a breakfast but NONE provided. Rooms smelled of dust and musty. Room deodorizer was really a urinal cake with very strong stench of naphthalene. Staff lady was friendly and apologetic but in over her head. Facility has promise but has been left to neglect.

A Great Place to get away from a hectic life.

This lodge is in a superb setting, a couple of acres of land in a quiet upmarket suburb of Bulawayo. The very African-themed restaurant is within shrubbery that supports a prolific bird population. The gardens and lawns are well maintained and ideal for hours of bird watching or simple enjoyment of the environment. The photos do not flatter the reality. My room was clean and well equipped, the staff were friendly, polite and willing to assist, but were all subservient in matters of decision making to Faith, the owner, who was not always easy to track down. There is a small pond and swimming pool within the grounds, though both were empty during my stay.
