"I stayed at this lodge several times in the 1990s and took many friends and family there, it was always my favourite in whole of Zim, we all thought it was wonderful. I have just revisited this most perfectly situated lodge with simple but beautiful accomodation and facilities. The staff were welcoming and friendly. But, oh dear, what has happened to the maintenance and restauration ? Much more needs to be done, especially to bathroom tiling and fittings and some bedroom furnishings, and the pool looked very uninviting. As for the meals, stodgy, too much on the plate, lacking in imaginative preparation and presentation. Such a pity ! I still loved it, but it can’t compete with it’s neighbours in Matopos like that."

"Fantastic except that the management allows overlanders camping at the campsite the free run of the lodge area. They monopolize the pool, talk on speakerphone, video chat as if in a hotel lobby rather than a safari camp. Supposedly the policy that they are only allowed to use the lodge when there are no guests, but this was not enforced even after we complained numerous times. Finally they were asked to leave, but only after a 24 hour “occupation”. Owners need to decide what kind of place they are running"

"Friendly efficient reception. Clean comfortable accommodation and beautiful views from the restaurant patio, where we had drinks. Dinner was delicious and expertly served by Yolanda. We were served a packed breakfast for our early journey onwards. A great stay for visiting the magnificent Matopos!"

"We had an incredible stay here. Our only regret is that we could not be here longer. Billy knew that I had a special interest in rock art, and he was able to give us room 8, which has its own pictograph in the room. The rooms are built into the natural rocks, so every place in the lodge was beautiful. Our guide Edward went beyond the call of duty to make sure we could see a lot in a short period of time. During the first evening he took us to watch an incredible sunset from a rocky hill, and took us to see a granary that had been used during an uprising against colonialism in the 1890s. Both the rock art and the rocks he showed us in the park were incredible, worthy of its world heritage status. There were white rhinos — but I also should mention the zonkey at the lodge. I appreciate that the lodge works with the community through a nonprofit. If you stay here you should expect ti walk up and down steps, but the exercise is great after all the fine meals. The staff were all very attentive and made sure the stay was memorable. ."
