    Coffee situation at breakfast should be improved. They have two little French press but if there are multiple tables it doesn’t really work. Just make a big pot. Otherwise not much to improve.

    Very nice place. Good rooms. Nice pool and especially nice pool area. Staff is super friendly.

    The wonderful and friendly staff especially Emelia, the comfy bed and mosquito net (although we didn't see any). Spotlessly clean room and wonderfully strong and as hot as you want it shower. Delicious breakfast and the oasis of the swimming pool and relaxing garden area. We also booked activities through the hotel which all ran smoothly.

    Photos don’t do the property justice. Beautiful little hotel with amazing bedrooms, the pool has a great lounging area next to it with a fully stocked bar, and if you’re lucky you can see wildlife strolling in front of the main gate. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Would definitely come back here.

    It's a bit of a walk from central Victoria Falls, so if you haven't got your own wheels, you'll be walking a bit.

    Excellent staff, kind and accommodating. Lovely place too, really tasteful and comfortable.

    Nothing at all

    I visited with my family. We all loved the place, nice big rooms, outside area, nice pool, nice outside bar area, lovely staff. Everyone there was really nice and helpful especially Amelia with booking activities. I would definitely recommend the place to my friend.

    It would be nice to have snacks or some kind of food onsite other than breakfast. It’s a bit of a walk to town if you just need something to hold you over to your next meal.

    It is a very beautiful setting, better than described in the listing. The breakfast was hot & made to order. The staff was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed to make it a great stay. They were quick to answer questions and offer suggestions when we asked.

    I was very happy with everything.

    Terrific place. Quiet, clean, safe. A reasonable 1.9 km to the centre of VF (taxi $5 USD), which is reasonable as there are very few hotels right at the centre. Breakfast was good. The pool area with hammocks, chairs and an honour bar was tranquil. Apparently there are animal sightings from time to time, in the bushland immediately across the street, but we didn't see any.

    Although delightful, the room rate seemed very high for this type of accommodation.

    Hospitality of the staff - very welcoming; the gardens and pool area. Its a small guest house with personalised service, no frills.

    Would have been good to have a Drift Inn van, had to prganise lots of taxis though this was not hard it was sometimes misunderstood on price of taxi trips. Cannot walk to town from here,

    The size of the pool was good but the water was not inviting.

    It was a little oasis close to the falls. It was secure and the breakfast was fantastic. We even saw an elephant across the road as well as baboons. I would go back.

    Nothing to note; please keep up the inn and don’t change the personality even with more influx of people coming in.

    Laid back vibe, lots of trees, ideal to relax and enjoy the nature.
