The bedroom was nice (despite the broken shower door) and the rest of the property good as well. There was no restaurant dining or breakfast option, but we found some options in the area.

Great place to stay in Bulawayo

We had a great time at Motsamai Lodge. It’s main attraction is the location and proximity to the city. You are only 5 minutes away from Bradfield Market and 10 minutes from downtown. The host were kind and the gateman would wash our car daily, it was part of the package.

Als Zwischenstopp ok. Etwas außerhalb gelegen. Zimmer gleich nach der Einfahrt nicht zu empfehlen, da ab 5 Uhr früh sehr laut wegen ständigem Öffnen und Schließen des eisernen Rolltores. Frühstück hat noch viel Luft nach oben und ist mit 15US$ / Person völlig überteuert. WLAN-Verbindung langsam und ständig unterbrochen, sodass neue Anmeldung nötig war.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The shower wasnt functioning properly, mixing cold and hot water was a huge task, and there was no hot water in the last 2 days of my stay. I guess the issue of power needs a better back up plan to ensure the comfort of residents. Modernising the showers to a single mixer would be helpful to balance hit and cold water
