The restaurant was probably the best in the area of Vic Falls that we have tried. The property is relatively small, but because they don't have too many guests, it feels cozy. The mosquito nets help a lot at night. It is close to everything, but nothing is walking distance (especially when the sun goes down). ##### Eugene Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Eros 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Game drive very expensive. ##### Eros Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian 16 May 2024 #### It was OK Ok for a stop over but disappointed with the standard of the restaurant food. A little way out from town with no shuttle bus available. They did have a mini bus but I'm not sure what they used it for. Taxis to and from Lodge were $7 each way which was a bit excessive. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property to stay at ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill 24 Oct 2024 ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorena 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel con encanto, muy acogedor, con muchos espacios para relajarse y con un jardín precioso.
