We were impressed by the hygiene standards in place at Holiday inn and in particular at the food service. A lot of thought has gone into minimising spread of Covid and this is truly commendable. Even the staff were friendly and helpful and observed all protocols while assisting us. The room was fairly comfortable

Good and confortable stay

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Parrot Lodge. The staff was very gentle and caring and the room was comfortable and clean. If you like animals, you are going to feel well accompanied by some of them during your stay. The only thing I would suggest is that it should be possible for foreigners to settle with international credit card, as USD cash is not an easy item to obtain locally in Zim. I would definitively reccomend it as a nice and safe place to stay in Bulawayo.

The Musketeers Lodge

The Musketeers Lodge is situated 8 kilometres from Bulawayo City Centre on the Matopos Road, bordering on Tshabalala Nature Reserve. Easy access and a well signposted route takes you out to the city limits and into the bush within minutes, the famous Matopos being only 35km down the road. Set in a beautiful, peaceful environment, boasting rolling green lawns and mature indigenous and exotic trees, it is a bird lover's paradise and a welcome get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for the tired executive. The tranquil well manicured gardens are a welcome escape from the urban cacophony where one can relax and enjoy the beautiful sunset at the end of the day. Sunrise is greeted by birdsong and the fresh breeze of the morning, reminiscent of a bush camp environment. The Musketeers is not only an executive lodge but an ideal stop over on the way to Matopos or for an overnight stay whilst waiting for a connecting flight either to South Africa or to the safari world of Hwange, Victoria Falls and the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. Guided tours of the Matopos and "Walks with Rhinos" are offered with experienced guides on call who will collect and assure the client of a memorable day in the mystery and history of the Matobo Hills. This pristine guest house offers comfortable beds and is focused on guest comfort and ease. A delicious full English breakfast is served daily. At the end of the day, guests are invited to relax and enjoy a sundowner in the hospitable restaurant pub or watch the sunset from the verandah across the delightful garden, before enjoying an optional homely dinner enjoyed by many and available on request. All rooms are twin bed and have access to DSTV as well as self serve tea and coffee facilities with the choice of either shower or bath. Internet access is also available. Visit The Musketeers Lodge where the hosts pride themselves on personal service and friendly staff and depart having experienced the home of "True Zimbabwean Hospitality!"

Liz was an amazing host who looked after our every need. The food was excellent and the service exemplary. The room was spotlessly clean so no complaints. The location was ideal for the Matopos National Park about 20 minutes. Overall great value for money. If we stay in Bulawayo again we would stay at Musketeers. Thank you

Sethule Lodge

A Gem

Reviewed By Scenic237018

As soon as you enter the gates you get an aura of peace and stillness. Lush gardens, a mountain in the background and just 10 minutes from town. I booked my parents for 2nights for their 54th Wedding Anniversary. Bridget and Mehulise went above and beyond, from upgrading them to the Deluxe Room to ensuring that they had their meals which was by special arrangement. My parents came back looking refreshed and 10 years younger. They could not stop talking about how they enjoyed themselves and the VVIP treatment they received from the Team including Mrs Tshuma, Mugadziri (who quickly got nicknamed Mr Fix It?? ?) and Sekuru (the gentleman who handled security and sanitizing at the gate). They just got back today but have already 'hinted' how they would like to go back again? - looks I am going to have to plan another weekend? If you are looking for a getaway that is reasonably priced and you really do not want to drive far out but you want that feeling of total tranquility, book at Sethule Lodge, it's a GEM! I will be booking in soon for some much needed R&R, can't wait?

Great place to stay if you are ging to go to Matopos. Nokula was a great host! She gave us a room upgrade and allowed me to cancel my booking from booking.com. We booked directly with the hotel instead. We could not stay as long as we needed to be near the centre of town the next night. There is a nice pool and the rooms are nice and clean and comfortable. We had a great home cooked meal at night and it was a 5 or 10 minute walk to another restaurant where we had lunch. Nokula was nice enough to walk us to the restaurant so that we would not get lost and provided me with a parasol for the sun. I wish we could have stayed longer and toured more of Matopos and the surrounding area.

Trip to Bulawayo on business

Reviewed By sphiri2018

The lodge is situated in a very quiet suburb away from the noisy central business district and has daily shuttle service. Rooms are clean and very spacious. The welcome and reception is very pleasing. Security is good round the clock. Guests are treated as family and check-in and out is very efficient.
