We had a quick two day stay so we could enjoy Victoria Falls. The staff were wonderful, location was great, the property was very peaceful. We truly enjoyed our experience. The only tiny recommendation we would have is for the wonderful dinner experience, possibly add a few more choices for those that are lactose intolerant. The ambience at dinner was beautiful. We truly enjoyed our short stay.

静かでよかった。記念日のケーキ等用意していただけました。2泊と一泊に分かれた予約しか出来なかったのですが、最後一泊は朝になって、部屋を移動するため荷物ん詰めました。部屋のデコレーション、花等、「移動する」言っていましたか、夕方帰ってくると、何も無し。 妻は悲しんでいました。朝の担当者が他の方だったら、移動してくれたかも、です。 食事は限定メニューでしたが、ブッフェすたいるよりいいかな？エコな点で。 メイルでやりとりしていただいた方々には、お世話になりました。 ありがとうございました。 皆さんの笑顔は素敵でした。 こちらのホテルは、お勧めします。 空港ピックアップは、必須です。
夏ならプール！
個人まりとしたホテルでした。40室程度。
食事は、選択メニューです。

快適な滞在でした

清潔感のあるロッジで、庭にはインパラやイノシシが訪れるなど、自然を身近に感じながら快適に過ごせました。夕食は日替わりで、ブッフェの日もあり、周囲にレストランが少ないためロッジでの食事が基本ですが、日本人の口にも合う内容でした。シャワーのお湯は使用量に限りがあるため、グループでの滞在時は使い過ぎに注意が必要です。

We stayed two nights here and I wish we could have stayed a little longer. The signature rooms was very nice with a queen size bed, double rainfall showers/sinks and a outside porch where you can watch the wildlife walk by. One thing to consider is the showers/bath are open concept so its kinda like you are bathing in the open room with just a small partition separating from the bed (not an issue for me as I was staying alone). The shuttle was very convenient to get to the falls and other areas in town. If you are going somewhere that is not on the shuttle stop just let the driver know and they will accommodate. The pool area/bar was really nice although the water was too cold for me. We only had a chance to eat the breakfast here and it was 10/10. I got the French toast. I also got a massage at the spa and it was easily one of the best massages I ever received (and I get massages monthly). The prices were super cheap as well compared to the US. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.
