A fine stop over.
We always stop over here on our way to Victoria Falls. OK, it is off the main drag but it is worth the dirt road for the fine location - a rural retreat. Well run, well furnished and for a travelling couple, just right!

Thank you Alan for your rating and review. We are thrilled that you always stop in with us and that you always enjoy your stay. All staff members take pride in the establishment and we work hard to keep the standard high for travellers just like you. It is peaceful and tranquil and is the ideal spot to unwind after a heavy day of travelling. I hope that you tried our home made "Mike's Meals" and managed to walk along our bird walk and river. We look forward to your next visit. Warm regards Mary-Anne West Passaportis (Marketing Manager)

A1 stopover
Apart from the dirt road access this is a fine stopover on the way to Victoria Falls. But watch out for the police speed traps - they are a menace and appear to target foreign travellers throughout the Country !! We have stayed here many times and it is ideal when passing through. Well run and managed by Rhodesians !!

Good evening Alan, Thank you so very much for the great rating and the lovely review. We appreciate your loyal support and the fine comments about how well run our business is! We do try our best. We apologise for the irritation of the traffic department on the roads and will bring your comments to the attention of the police at the next Pitso meeting. Travel well and see you on your next trip? Kind regards, Anne West (Owner)

Lovely site away from the main road & city centre
This was a last minute replacement for another overnight booking, so we arrived late and left early. The location is out of town, and ten minutes down a bumpy dirt road. The chalet was very pleasant, comfortable beds, mosquito netting, tea and coffee making facilities. The shower and toilet block was only a short walk (take a torch), and had hot running water with good pressure, although there was a request to restrict water useage due to local drought. The staff were friendly and helpful, dealing with our last minute reservation efficiently. The pool looked good, although we didn't try it out as we were too tired after a full day's drive. If I needed to stay in this area again, I'd definitely opt for here.

Hello Patricia, Thank you so much for taking the time to rate us and so favourably as well. We would love to have heard from you but sincerely hope that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay? Hopefully you got to do the bird walk or a lovely stroll along the river bed? A plunge into the pool or was it already too cold? We do hope to see you again in the future? Kind regards, Management

Convenient overnight stop
We have previously stayed at Woodlands and enjoyed our recent visit just as much. The lodge and campsites were fully booked during our stay which is testimony to their location and offering. The lodges are comfortably appointed with all necessary self-catering utensils, a fridge and microwave. Braai facilities are available and meat and ready-made meals can be purchased from the shop. There is a good-sized pool and a pleasant nature walk on the property. Highly recommended.

Meget venligt personale og hyggelige omgivelser. Smuk natur og mange fugle. Den lille reception havde et fint lille udvalg af drikkevarer og "mikrobølge" mad, som de kunne varme for os. Der var naturligvis også et godt udvalg af souvenir.
