    A very nice secure place to stay provided by super host Joy! She really looked after me, making sure I got to the ATM on my arrival to then sorting me out at the bus station for a transfer to Monkey Bay.

    Quiet location in a residential area outside the city center. About a 15 minute walk to a small shopping center in Area 10 with a few restaurants and a grocery store. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with a fan and mosquito net. The staff are wonderful. Sarah is a joy. So helpful and accommodating. The breakfast included in the price was very tasty (and enormous!). WIFI works well. The guesthouse offers transport into the city center for a reasonable price.

    This hotel is located in a nice residential and Embassy area. The grounds are beautiful and the old house is charming. Staff are very warm and helpful. Overall, I thought for a three star hotel it was good value.

    The hostess Chikondi was a very good to me, so I felt very welcome. Also her team is very proffessional and the food was tasty. It is very near to shopping center and 3 kilometers to the City center, which was convenient for work as well as for pleasure. They have chairs outdoors in the garden, which is good for relaxing. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and many expatriates live in the area.
