    All good

    Very helpful staff. Our room was large, clean, modern and nicely decorated. We had lunch and dinner there, which was very good and relatively quick. Breakfast was included for us and we were happy with the choices.

    The ox tail special that they served for dinner was tasty but there was hardly any meat on the bones. and only served with rice, very plain. I would have expected a few veg or something to accompany it.

    The breakfast was great.

    Elegant lodge, with air-conditioned generous rooms Staff very attentive and adaptable, ensuring vegan as well as vegetarian options. Amazing breakfasts, served in poolside dining toom overlooking the garden.. extended,access to coffee,and tea. Access to a wide-screen TV for sports viewing if wanted (we didn't) Staff happy to arrange activities, taxis, and advise about alternative dinner options when their kitchen closed for the evening to allow their staff to celebrate Christmas evening with their families. We will happily return.

    We enjoyed being away from the city centre but close enough to get there quickly. The restaurant was great and convenient. The staff were very helpful in assisting in organising activities.

    There is nothing to not like.

    The breakfast was plentiful, and it was lovely sitting next to the pool to eat as it was nice and tranquil. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees. The staff were wonderful, nothing was a bother.

    The shower could use a thicker rug, so it soak up the water, as it gets flooded a little bit.

    The family room was spacious and clean. I love that they make the bed every day. The breakfast was good, but could use a more variety.

    No complimentary bottled water provided and although the management advised this was due to reducing plastic waste (glass would have worked), we did feel a little that you were being charged for everything... even for a small, mouthful sized bag of peanuts. Perhaps a fridge in the room. Due to the Zimbabwean rules to set up a direct payment to the lodge, our Booking.com app has had problems caused by this booking and even after 10+ messages from myself and the owner it has still not been resolved although probably not the lodges fault - VERY frustrating!! Note: for a poor country, expect to pay top dollar and everyone expects a tip or two. Paying to enter the country, plus extra to enter the parks everytime the costs just keeps adding up. You do feel a little that you're getting ripped off.

    Nice room, bathroom, pool and restaurant ok Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely
