ACCOMMODATION
This guest house is located in the residential area of Victoria Falls town – 3 km from the town center and 22 km from the Victoria Falls International airport. It is far enough out of town to avoid the busier, larger hotels in the town center. With only 25 rooms, it is small enough to get personal attention and meet other travelers passing through. The guest house is set in lush gardens and the rooms are modern, fresh and well appointed. This is a great place to stay while in Vic Falls. Tours depart from the guest house.
2 Nights / Bed & Breakfast
