I stayed at Woodlands for a month, and it was a pleasure each evening to enter the gates and be surrounded by the lush vegetation and busily calling birds overhead and practically underfoot. I am a big nature buff, but I think that this peaceful place would appeal to almost any visitor who appreciates high quality accommodations and services in... More

When you walk down the drive at Woodlands your shoulders drop and you feel peace descend. Dave and Lynn run a tight ship and the rooms are tastefully decorated, comfortable and CLEAN. Everything smells clean; the towels, the linen on the bed, the rooms in general. There is nothing to fault at Woodlands, and I can usually find something wherever... More

Borrowdale is nice, but Woodlands is truly exceptional. The chalets are huge, finished throughout to a standard that would be at least 4 star in European terms. Free wifi, with strong signal is great for business or keeping in touch. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was also very good.

Nothing was too much trouble for him, including running me down to the village in has car when it was raining. I stayed there for 4 nights on a business trip and... More

I lived in Harare for 3 years and have stayed in or reserved for friends/family/colleagues in many of the hotels and guest houses around town and Zimbabwe. Woodlands Guest Lodge is an incredibly welcome change and addition to the options! This small, charming and very well run hotel has everything to offer. Clean, large, well appointed rooms, large and modern... More
