Mbare West Vacations from $2,918

Clean, good staff, pleasant

The place was a home away from home very nice place big soft comfy bed, very friendly staff very willing to make your stay as you would like. Food was cooked to your liking anything you chose the cooks wanted to cook it for you.

Beautiful, green grounds and a spotlessly clean property. The staff were the highlight: warm, attentive and genuinely helpful throughout. Breakfast is included and it was excellent. The location works well too. You're in Kambanji, about 10 minutes from most of the eastern suburbs, so Highland Park, La Parada, Mozambik, Ocean Basket and Upstate are all an easy drive. Mukuvisi Woodlands and the city galleries are close enough for a half day out, and Wild Is Life near the airport is worth the trip if you're staying a few nights. The on-site restaurant does a really good à la carte menu and stays open until 9pm. Excellent food, though on the pricey side. Card payment is accepted across the board. There's also a simple but well-equipped gym and a tennis court. Massages are arranged through a freelance masseuse rather than the lodge, at additional cost. The treatment was very good. A great break overall, and we'd happily return.
