"The road to the property is too steep the last bit of it and terrible with potholes, it was a surprise small cars will struggle. The staff was pleasant and helpful. "
"WOW, just WOW. This is a little paradise in Kariba. How did we get so lucky that we got to spend a few nights here during our trip through Southern Africa?! Our accommodation was gorgeous, the views stunning, the host welcoming, the staff friendly, and the pool area was just perfect for us to relax at after 3.5 weeks of non-stop travel.
The food is outstanding! They cook your breakfast after you chose what you would like. Our dinners were some of the best we've ever had.
We had our own huts....

We had our own huts. They are beautifully decorated. They are open and airy, which is really nice at nights. The night sky was stunning - we could see stars, the Milky way and more.
We had organized a Zambezi cano trip afterwards and our host was very familiar with the company we were using, gave us some practical tips which all helped start the trip off with the right expectations (also highly recommend the cano trip!)."
