Fantastic stay

The guest house is very clean,quiet,roomy. We liked the swimming pool and the area for BBQ.Very beautiful place for a family holiday. Walking distance from the shops. The staff very friendly and helpful. Mr Nyamandi and his crew went extra mile to help us in everything we wanted. Very patient and accommodating. Loved their breakfast. They were very flexible with breakfast times. I would recommend them. Lovely team. keep it up

The toilet paper needs an upgrade

Spacious, comfortable house with a refreshing pool

This is a very spacious house in the Aerodrome neighborhood of Victoria Falls town, about two miles from the national park and the border with Zambia. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are available to guests, which far exceeded our needs (two adults and two kids, aged 9 and 11) but we appreciated all the space. The beds were comfortable and the A/Cs in each bedroom worked well. The pool was clean, with a nice waterfall, and very refreshing as the temperature exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day. To get to the touristy part of town and the national park, you really need to take a taxi or have a driver unless you have your own car. There was a housekeeper who cooked us delicious breakfast each day.

The driver who took us to Vic Falls town from Kasane in Botswana had a hard time finding the property when we first arrived, so I would recommend providing detailed instructions directly to guests before they arrive. While we appreciated Herbert's advice on activities and dining and connecting us with a great driver who we used to drive us around Vic Falls, it would be ideal for the owners/staff to be fully prepared to discuss all the possible activities that tourists might want to engage in, and where and how to reserve them, with inside tips on the best tour guides and companies. For example, it was only on the last day, when the driver was taking us to the airport, that it came to light that we could also have hired him to be our tour guide at Victoria Falls itself, rather than the mediocre tour company through which we ended up booking those tours (via the intermediary Viator). We made the decision to book a Vic Falls tour because we wanted to visit both sides, which is more complicated because you have to cross the border, go through Zim and Zambia border formalities, and then go some distance from the border post in Zambia up to the Zambian national park. This was fairly logistically involved -- e.g., the Zim tour guide and driver handed us over to a Zambian tour guide and driver and then met up with us again when we were done on the Zambian side -- and I didn't want to try to figure out the logistics and the transportation myself, particularly with children in tow. If you stay on the Zim side, you definitely don't need to pay money for a tour guide if all you're doing is going to the park, for which the entry fees are already exorbitant. Beware also that at least if your cell phone is with a U.S. provider, roaming probably won't work in Vic Falls (even on the Zambian side), presumably for lack of an agreement with local carriers. The wifi at Chitova's Guesthouse was reliable and fast and helped make up for the lack of cell service.

good value for money

spacious, on demand taxi service

maybe something for consideration more than a complaint: ask the guests what they would like for breakfast to avoid that half of what you prepared goes to waste. also, since the house is self-catering, consider just not cooking breakfast yourself — or otherwise, propose some dinner options as well to make the service complete. personally, we didn’t understand that there would be staff available 24/7 in or near the house, so the feeling of privacy that we like with self-catering houses wasn’t really there. Kitchen ustensiles are a bit basic and the house overall could do with some light Reno work. but overall, good value for money.

Nice and roomy house. Very comfortable accommodation.

The breakfast was excellent and always on time. Lisah and Christine went out of their way to make our stay an enjoyable one. Lisah was very helpful with organising new activities for us to visit and also recommending good places to eat out. The pool was cleaned every day. We felt very safe at night with a security person on site. We really had an enjoyable stay.

The house met with our requirements in general - size of the house, kindness of the 2 hostesses.

There is a beautiful swimming pool that is kept very clean. Lisah and Christine served a delightful breakfast. Both ladies were extremely helpful and were available for any requests. They got on very well with the 2 grandchildren (7 & 5 years of age).

Mainly the disrepair of the cupboards and cleanliness of the kitchen cupboards. The location was in a developing area with rather poor access roads.

I would stay there again

Location not bad, but not as easy to find as expected - not Chitova's fault - the town council should have better street signs. Breakfast was OK Beds very comfortable, air con was very good. The swimming pool was a treat. Wifi was fast

The only issue, and a very minor one, was the lack of plugs for the basins in the kitchen. Also no corkscrew with the kitchen implements

Great Family or Group House

The property is big and well planned out and reasonably priced . We had a family reunion and stayed there for a week and everyone liked their rooms and the pool. The property has backup solar power and gas for cooking. The greatest asset at this place are the staff, especially Lisah and not forgetting Linda and Failence. The staff made sure our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was good, fresh and had variety.

Lisa’s was an amazing host who communicated with through me booking up until check out, also she arranged a safari trip

Everything, especially the breakfast. The house is nice and big with plenty of space for a big family, and to know that there’s security on-site puts you at ease.

Huge crab spiders but then again this is Zimbabwe so expect nothing less.

Passable

The beds were comfortable and the showers had good hot water. The space at the lodge was ample for our group which consisted of all adults. On the second day we were at the lodge we had a new set of pots put in the kitchen cupboards for us as we are very strict vegetarians. This was much appreciated. The caretakers were very friendly and helpful in all the 3 days we were there and they would help us clean up after our cooking. They would also help us open and close the gate when we arrived at the lodge . It was also helpful to have the washing line at the back that we could use when our clothes got wet from the falls.

It was unfortunate that unknown to us before we booked there were some building works that were taking place at the entrance of the lodge. There is a swimming pool being built. The driveway was full of bricks and sand and it was most inconvenient as it does not leave much parking space. The driveway is at a bit of angle so it was hard to manoeuvre in for our cars ( 1 was a Prado). The owner got the builder to stop works while we were there, but it was a sad sight to see on our arrival and every morning. We also bought in alot of dirt and sand in the house every time we walked in as there was no pathway.
