We liked the place, but the room was small. The dining room is good with many options on the menu. We also found the Three Monkeys restaurant nearby pretty good.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here as we were within walking distance of the Victoria Falls Rainforest. The staff was kind and attentive, and the grounds were beautiful. Unfortunately our AirCon broke and dripped water on the bed but aside from that our stay was great. Would highly recommend!

The cottages are designed attractively to tourists with a good service and ideal location for Falls. However, Victoria Falls city has far too many street vendors chasing tourists around.

The service during breakfast was not good at all. We waited for 10-15 mins to finally be served - even then it was with intervention. Servers were busy and were not coordinated. We had stayed here 2 times in the last 2 years and the poor service level was pretty consistent.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room did not have a TV. There were no vending machines on the facility so the only way to get a soda is when the bar is open. The area between the airport and the town was OK. The town itself was not bad - I never felt unsafe - there were cops patrolling. As you walk towards the VF bridge, it looks like a garbage dump and stinks of sewage / The Zambia side was better. As a walker you were constantly accosted to buy this or that nicknack or hire a taxi, sometimes these guys would stikc with you for 5 minutes. Customs was always very professional. The room had skeeter curtains, they were marginally affective, make sure you spray yourself against skeets. (I think I picked up malaria). When you pay for an attraction (heli-ride, rainforest, etc) you are safe. Recommend staying on the Zambia side, I will never return to this dump (literally)

Very central and easy access to brewery, distillery, craft markets, central town and even easy walk to the falls. It’s a large site with many rooms, breakfast can be full but always lots of food and good service.
