    There was nothing not to love about this stunning little lodge. The staff were incredibly helpful and always had a smile for you. We really loved that they only had a small amount of rooms. This made it a quiet relaxing place to enjoy. The breakfast, lunches and dinners were brilliant. We loved the pool and the little bar attached to the restaurant. It was all very well maintained. The lodges proximity to the little town was great. You could even walk there. Also very cheap to get into town by Taxi. This was USD $5 for a short ride. I wouldn’t recommend this walk at night because you may come into contact with some large African elephants. 🐘 We felt very safe in the property. All of our activities were organised through the hotel. Including calling a taxi for us to get into town the cost of a taxi to the start point of a sunset cruise or to see the Victoria Falls was USD $10.

    There was absolutely nothing. We didn’t love about the property. We are extremely sad to leave.

    good food, parking was secure, nice staff

    checkout was a bit confused and firday night is a noisy night if you are a light sleeper( the town has a noisy music venue and it is not so far away). Not a big deal overall

    The staff were warm and welcoming, and the room was clean and comfortable. The nshima was incredible and freshly prepared. Breakfast was fine, although it would have been even better with freshly brewed coffee rather than instant. The location was ideal for exploring Livingstone while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.

    I was a little disappointed that guests are not allowed to bring in food from outside, as it would have been nice to have that option. Parking was also a little limited, and it was tricky to drive in and reverse a 4x4. It would be more convenient if there were space to turn around. As a digital nomad, it would have been great to have a comfortable chair or small workspace, although I understand this is primarily a holiday setting.

    As a single traveller, I felt very comfortable here. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Trips out were easy to arrange. Breakfast omelettes beautifully cooked, gardens relaxing, location ideal for some photography and interaction with the wonderful people living nearby.

    Stay too short. I had to fly home.

    The lodge was beautiful and well-decorated in an African theme. The staff were very helpful and willing to go above and beyond such as providing a glass of milk for us to keep in our room fridge for our coffee early the next morning.

    We felt pressure to book our tours through the lodge, but thankfully we had already scheduled them so they couldn't be too upset with us. The restaurant at the lodge only had 1-2 people working so service was slow.

    Property response:

    Thank you for taking the time to give us your review. I do apologize that you felt any pressure to book your activities through the lodge as this definitely not our intention. We have more than two people working in the restaurant and will take this up with that department to investigate why you received slow service and make the necessary changes to resolve this.

    The staff were absolutely amazing – everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The service was top-notch, and the food was delicious. The rooms and the lodge itself were beautifully decorated, creating a warm and homey atmosphere. Even during the usual power cuts in Zambia, the hotel had a reliable backup generator, which made the stay even more comfortable. I especially want to highlight the hotel manager – his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail really made a difference. You can tell the place is run with care and passion. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Maybe some chopped fruits at the breakfast table but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing.

    Breakfast and food, staff were amazing! Carried things in and out, smiles and anticipated our needs.

    terrible entry road and very narrow parking, a problem when other guests do not park well

    This is under Lisa’s name, but this is Dan! The facility and the STAFF! What a great crew! The staff did everything from baggage to serving our meals! They were there from very early in the morning until late at night. There are only 10 rooms and our group had 7 of them! It was our own little resort!

    The pool was….COLD! but, so was the weather. Nobody really wanted to swim due to the cool weather. Not much the hotel could do about that!
