The property is hidden, and a small walk from the main Tembo hotel, but what makes up for it is the wonderful staff. Their friendliness, and willing to assist you at everything. The breakfast menu was amazing, a mix of everything which was very pleasant. The rooms can use alittle bit of an upgrade, and they should probably prohibit photo sessions from people on the streets, as there was alot of flash on the outside (but maybe an exception because of the public holiday). I would definitely stay again. Thank you

Great studio flat
Rented the studio flat in the outbuilding (3 min walk from main hotel), did have to climb four flight of stairs but the room was worth it. Brilliant air con, washing machine and the bed and bathroom were great! Couldn't find the cable channels on the TV but that may have been my lack of tech knowledge. Main restaurant had good variety of food although service was typically slightly slow. Would definitely stay here again.

The staff that helped us to our rooms and checked us in were very helpful and welcoming. Our stay in the B&B apartments itself however, was pretty disappointing. The room was dark and when you opened the blinds you are overlooked from every window including in the bathroom. The room was in need of renovation particularly in the bathroom where the cabinetry was old and rusting in places. No shower curtain or screen so the whole bathroom gets soaked when you wash. Breakfast was really good. There was a full intercontinental spread as well as local dishes- all very delicious.
