Harare Hotel Guide. Independent Hotels in Harare, Zimbabwe

Just like the former Salisbury itself, the Meikles has seen better days but it all sort of adds to the charm. The staff are lovely and friendly. Get them to reserve one of their taxis for a tour of the city - the drivers they use are a fountain of knowledge and really nice too. Tip the bar staff and try the vodka cocktails (the Tom Collins).

I stayed at The Daisy Guest House during a recent visit to Zimbabwe and would not hesitate to recommend it. The guest house is a series of lodges within private grounds. Although the double suite on the first night was disappointing, I was moved to much better accommodation at the top end of the complex. The rooms there are clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff deserve particular commendation. Nothing is too much trouble for Yvonne and Bob, whether it is changing money at the local bank, offering use of the Internet or giving advice about accommodation in other cities. All of the above, plus the reasonable rates, mean I would definitely return. Just one problem: the location of the guest house is generally not known to taxi drivers, so mention that it is off Coates Road near the Kamfinsa Shopping Centre.

Rates at the lodge are affordable with us sixty for couple and usd fifty for single for an international class room in the main house with own bath and toilet, dstv and breakfast. Also the rooms to the pool are affordable but less confortable with usd 40 for a couple. The lodge is situated close to Westgate Roundabout in HARARE. It is worth while to contact the owners before arrival and get the best arrangement.

Lovely garden and large pool, staff friendly, excellent breakfast

The place is truly beautiful and luxury. Every detail is thought about.

Beautiful hotel and gardens, quiet and peaceful, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Harare. Staff are all excellent, especially chef Sam. Cooked-to-order breakfasts were decadent. My only complaints are the number of insects that found their way into my room at night through the vents in the walls, and the odor of burning trash coming from the neighbor's yard.

Beautiful gardens, peaceful, friendly staff and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay at this superb lodge and will definitely be going back.
