A
luxurious and unique upmarket lodge on the banks of the Zambezi
River, just upstream of the Victoria Falls. It is perfect
for a honeymoon or for the discerning traveller seeking an
unforgettable African holiday.
Honeymoon House (the one we stayed in) - is so-called
because it was the first house, but each of the houses is
built with romance and indulgence in mind. Your private balcony
overlooking the river is the perfect setting for a romantic
dinner under the stars, or you can choose to dine with our
other guests on one of the river decks.
The Bird House - Sweeping views over the Zambezi
River are a feature of every house. Great attention has been
paid to the bathroom areas and a special feature is the huge
open-air sunken bath in every room, where you can both unwind
to the serenades of an African evening.
The Tree House - Our four houses are made and furnished
with local materials and designed to complement and enhance
the natural surroundings, whilst creating a feeling of intimacy
and privacy. Each is unique and will pamper to your most romantic
of moods.
The Dog House - Dominating each house is the huge,
king-size bed, complete with luxurious down pillows and duvet,
and a magnificent, airy mosquito net, so your sleeping comfort
is assured.
The River Cottages - We have five River Cottages
situated along the river bank. Each has a large double bed
or two singles, mosquito net, en-suite bath and shower, and
both indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing, dining and enjoying
the expansive river views.
