Charming Cottage Retreat, Juliasdale

KenRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Tuesday, 22 Apr 2025 Stay from 18 to 21 April (depart 21 April) The cottage was absolutely delightful with regards to furnishings, kitchen utensils in abundance, appliances, TWO jet masters, most comfortable bed in main bedroom (however, we personally, are not fans of dark brown bedlinen) and a most welcome sun lounge. The fluffy newish clean towels were also greatly appreciated – we didn’t have to use the ones we brought. At the price we thought it excellent value for money Fortunately we had ZESA (electricity, for non-Zimbabweans) most of the time, but the cottage is well kitted out with emergency lamps, all over thecottage. Edwell helped us locate the cottage initially and very ably restoked both Jetmasters every day. I have three (I hope constructive) suggestions as follows: 1. Does the cottage have a name? Is it properly advertised as such in the Airbnb listing. If not, it should clearly have a name, and furthermore be clearly signposted at the Staffin Rd. junction with the main

Springhide - a scenic cottage retreat in Troutbeck

ShaunRating, 5 stars5 months ago

The cottage was a delight, and close to Troutbeck Hotel for some luxury and friendly contact with other guests in the area. For anyone who likes hiking and short drives to waterfalls etc, this is perfect. The huge fireplace lends itself to very romantic evenings in front of a warm fire. Locals are very friendly with pleanty of fresh produce at hand to purchase. A very enjoyable 4 day visit.

We had an enjoyable family holiday at Lillian's place. The house was well accommodated with stunning views of the surrounding hills. The house was peaceful and just what we needed.

Beautiful and serene home. Lovely housekeeping and chef who were so efficient in their work . Kept the house warm and the gysers well heated. We had a pleasant stay. Good for long weekend get away to refresh and reboot. I would advise to use a vehicle with good offroad clearance for the short stretch from the high way to the house.

Coates Cottage Connemara Nyanga

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviews11 months ago

Safe to say that this place is an absolute gem of place to stay and has made it to the top of my list of homes to stay in connemara. From the comfortable beds with heated blankets and a fireplace in the main bedroom, the luxurious wood-fired outdoor hot tub, and heated floors in the bathrooms (game changer), and large entertaining area, this place is well worth the money. The house is mere steps from the middle dam where there are beautiful hikes around the dam, 2 x fly fishing licenses that come included (just bring own rods) and 2 boats. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Chipo the caretaker was very helpful, cleaning up, making fires indoors and outdoors for the hot tub every day, she made our stay very easy. We will bring friends or family next time for sure!

My family and I have just come back from Florence’s place. The cottages are Beautiful, they’re in a semi secluded place with beautiful views. The grounds man/ care taker, was amazing in attending to our needs. Will definitely be returning for another stay. The only downside was the break & too short.

The two-story lodge features a stone facade with a solid stairway leading to a welcoming entrance. Large windows provide natural light, while a small balcony with a simple railing overlooks the surroundings. Lush greenery and climbing plants enhance the exterior, creating a serene atmosphere.

David was a great host. His house has spectacular views and great amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Road is reasonable, not bad at all, and Stephen took good care of us in terms of helping us identify local attractions and tending the fire. Great for a group getaway in the mountains.

A picturesque view of rolling green hills extends towards a serene lake, surrounded by lush vegetation. A colorful flower bed with various blooms is situated in the foreground, and the distant mountains provide a majestic backdrop.

Stunning 4-bedroom mountain cottage, Troutbeck

CatincaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We loved our stay. We were three families with four children total and there was more than enough space to be both quiet and loud. Peter and Rosemary took good care of us and Rosemary’s cooking is some of the best we’ve had in Zimbabwe. If you’re looking for a relaxed getaway, don’t hesitate. P.S. find the Nehwa go go and buy fresh eggs and milk very morning!

Wadiwa cottage was amazing... Keisha, Crispen and Patience were great hosts. The cottage is very spacious, in beautiful surroundings and quite private. They shared a list of activities and prices around nyanga which really helped us plan our trip. It was a great stay... Bonus the view from God's window (right behind the cottage) over the Nyangani mountains is unforgettable!
