9.6/10 Exceptional! (14 reviews)
This is definitely a tranquil haven set amongst a city of contrasts. The team were attentive went out of their way to ensure my stay was relaxing, enjoyable and any needs/requests were promptly and efficiently dealt with. The Lodge is set within a lush garden landscape and rooms and common areas are clean and beautifully appointed. Breakfast was home cooked, generous & delicious. There was an option to also have cereals, fruit, cheese, yoghurt (buffet). York Lodge is a wonderful base from which to explore Harare and surrounding areas/visit friends & family if on holiday here. Did not have dinner here as out with family most of the stay. There are a couple of restaurants within a walking distance if you want variety e.g. Ella the Garden and Victoria 22 - as well as grocery store Pick n Pay and a Thai takeout food. There is also Gava Restaurant (a short drive away if you want a casual, cultural experience than a luxury restaurant and to try authentic Zimbabwean food such as traditional dishes like sadza, beef stew, oxtail, and peanut butter rice I would totally recommend York Lodge as a central base to anybody making a visit to Harare
