    1. Promptness from the booking stage and throughout the stay. 2. Upon arrival into my room, I knew I was at home because my bed was crowned with a picture of my puppies (African wild dog pack). 3. Staff and owner were both very friendly and very helpful. 5. The room felt as if I was in a safari park and yet I was in a city, giving me age relaxed feeling of holiday while at work. 6. The garden was amazing, with big trees and greenery, giving a nice view during the meals, leisure reading or catching up with work emails. 7. It was safe and no vehicles are allowed to enter the courtyard allowing guests to roam around freely within the court.

    Nothing really.

    Absolutely wonderful stay, a heaven of peace and quiet in Victoria Falls. We were welcomed very warmly, and got all the help we needed with booking tours or accommodating a last minute dinner request. The garden is wonderful, we only wished we had more time to stay to enjoy it!

    Courtney Lodge is in a quiet location, a short distance from the centre of Victoria Falls. The buildings and garden are very attractive in a relaxed colonial style. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

    We absolutely loved everything about the Courtney Lodge. From our friendly driver fetching us from the airport, to our spacious, cool, well appointed room which had huge white, fluffy bath towels and very comfortable beds, to the delicious breakfasts and beautiful pool and gardens. A special mention to the staff who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They arranged all our activities, transfers and packed breakfasts. There was someone there to meet and greet us when we arrived back at the hotel, no matter the time and they even arranged a pizza delivery for my son. What a wonderful stay!

    Clive, the owner of the Lodge and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. As soon as we entered the ground off the Lodge, we could feel an amazing sense of serenity and peace. We thought the main building is a very well kept colonial style structure that must have been 100+ years old. We were surprised to hear from Clive that he and his partner built it and it was open only two years or so ago. Really tastefully done. I'm no expert but if someone told me it won some kind of architectural prize, I would not be amazed in the least. Extremely good value for money. Cannot recommend this property high enough.

    Nothing. Nothing at all.

    Courtney lodge was lovely and relaxing. A very comfortable stay with everything we needed. The staff were so helpful and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Clive the owner gave us many good tips and ideas of activities to do. The food was delicious, we would recommend having a dinner at the lodge.

    Can’t think of anything.

    My traveling companions, who have stayed at other hotels in Vic Falls, all agreed the Courtney was the best value and nicest lodge in Vic Falls. The Vic Falls Hotel has the history and a great view, but I peaked into a room there and I’m happy we stayed at the Courtney. Clive, the owner, is very hospitable and interesting to chat with. There are only ten rooms situated in three villas, and they were large and the beds were very comfortable. I especially loved the gardens and the magnificent Msasa and mahogany trees. They had very good security and I felt safe.

    I can’t think of anything negative.

    Beautiful, peaceful setting with friendly, professional staff, and spacious, comfortable accommodations. A wonderful place to rest after a long walk around Victoria Falls.

    The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was great - we were able to walk to the town centre. The recommendations for restaurants were also great. We greatly appreciated the help with transfers to and from the airport, the Helicopter Flight and the Sunset Cruise . The children enjoyed the garden and the pool.

    I’m not fond of hotel stays. I’m looking for an accommodation experience. This is exactly what my wife and I received from Courtney Lodge. The room was great and the whole Colonial theme, gardens, bar, breakfast and atmosphere were special. Now Clive Wood (owner) and his staff were superb. We received personal service from all the staff. We quickly learned the first names of each team member and they became our friends. Because the lodge is pretty small we interacted with most of the other guests. Most were international.

    Very kind staffs. Excellent Chef Danny's Omelette. All staffs tried to do take care of their best. Good outer space with garden.

    So long way walk to Victoria Falls (About 25-30mins under hot sun..) Better to hire taxi service. My thought - Shuttle service VF?

    Location was excellent, just far enough out of town to be quiet though close enough to walk in. Beautiful gardens and staff who go the extra mile all the time.

    Shower was a little temperamental. Very hot or cold. Water flow could be better. Minor details really.

    The room was roomy, comfortable, and clean. The lodge has many accessibility features. The owners were nice to chat with during our stay. The staff were very helpful.

    The WiFi was weak and unreliable and did not work in our room.
