Motsamai Lodge

Motsamai Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We had a really lovely stay at Motsamai. It is such a beautiful, peaceful and quiet place, making it the perfect place to relax during our holiday in Bulawayo. ❤️ The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained, and the pool was a lovely place to unwind and relax after a busy day exploring. The chef and her team were absolutely top-notch. The food was excellent, and you could really see the care and effort that went into everything they prepared for us. The housekeeping team were also fantastic. They kept everything clean and comfortable throughout our stay, and they even took care of our laundry beautifully. It was such a helpful service while we were travelling. What stood out most was how attentive everyone was to our needs as guests. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and we always felt welcomed and well looked after. Motsamai gave us exactly what we wanted from part of our holiday — peace, comfort, beautiful surroundings, great food and genuine hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Thank you to the whole Motsamai team for making our stay so comfortable and memorable. 🇿🇼❤️"
