A lovely and peaceful property, beautifully appointed and comfortable rooms with original local art work placed inside and out. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the garden or inside the delightful living room of the main house. There is strong and uninterrupted WiFi throughout the property, plus a good choice for breakfast. The owners are very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely place, riana is a great host. Nice and close to town... A real home away from home. One small suggestion is that prices for goods in the room should include vat as the extra vat charge when checking out will surprise guests and bring some diasspointment at bill time.

What a beautiful and welcoming place to stay in Harare. In keepers are friendly and engaging. The grounds are beautiful which encourage rest and renewal. I’ll be going back again!

An attractive house filled with light embedded in a very green garden resplendent with local sculpture. It is a little way outside the centre so a car is essential, but not too far and with some (mediocre) restaurants 5minutes away. Breakfasts are fresh and sufficient-although more fruit would have been nice.. the rooms are either in the house or in annexes in the garden. They are comfortable, have chairs outside, WiFi and satellite TV. There is a pool. The owners are very widely travelled, engaging, but never intrusive.

10/10

Beautiful and secure accomatation in the most affluent part of Harere. Well presented and maintained off grid site with all the comforts of home with amazing knowledgeable staff who will help you from planning your day trips to setting up for work with the high speed internet connection that never failed once on my 10 day stay. Great breakfast choices and well stocked pantry. Very clean room especially bathroom. Genuinely friendly atmosphere a absolute must for anyone passing through
