The hosts are amazingly friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and a delight to stay with. We booked the ensuite double and loved the king size comfortable bed with crispy sheets. Wifi worked well. Barbara is a fantastic cook and besides a sumptuous full English breakfast, she does delightful dinners or lunches on request. We got excellent advice on the areas hiking trails. Shops in Chimanimani are limited, so bring your own goodies and drinks if you wish. We enjoyed great hospitality, food and personal attendance. This exceptional place comes highly recommended.

Thanks to Don, Barbara and Michelle. We really had a great time there. You are so welcoming and enjoyed your meals.

We really loved our stay at Stonehouse Lodge.
It is such a cozy and homey place and a great location to explore Chimanimani untouched and underrated area.

This place was by far our best accommodation in Zimbabwe.

There is a lovely family running this lodge, Barbara, Douglas and their daughter Michelle will make you feel at home.

We stayed in the bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom and they also have options of rooms with shared bathroom.
There is a nicely decorated common dinning area.
With advance notice you can also request breakfast, lunch and dinner of the highest quality.

We loved the breakfast on the porch at the sun listening the birds chirping on their peaceful garden. Barbara also cooks incredible homemade pasta, salad, etc, that was accompanied with delicious bread freshly baked by Douglas. We had by far the best food in Zimbabwe.

The only little downside is that, unfortunately, due to poor infrastructure in the community ,the water pressure is very low, so you need to be patient to have a shower, but the water is hot and good, and we managed nicely during our stay.

Additionally, they can help you with wise advise to explore the natural wonders of Chimanimani Area, on top of that, Michelle is a great guide to take you to amazing horseback riding tours and accompany you for hiking. We went with her ridding across rivers, climbing up mountains and traversing the forest. Also we hiked to nearby Bridal Veil Waterfalls and a viewpoint.

Douglas also helped us with a problem we had with our car key and gave us precious tips, advise and contacts about Victoria Falls where he was an expert of white water rafting.

We have very fond memories of our time here.

An amazing couple who run this place.
No frills just basic accommodation done right.

Barbara and her family are friendly people.
The meals are delicious and reasonably priced.
The place is an escape from the city life,its a hidden gem.

Easy to find using Google Maps and it’s a walkable distance from town. Very homely place and great hosting from Doug and Barbara. This is a house turned into a lodge and there is one spacious master bedroom and three other bedrooms. It was perfect for us as a family. The floors and bedding were clean. The food was very generous and quite delicious. This place is within a neighborhood but a very safe one. There’s a trampoline outside and some board games and puzzles inside to keep you entertained. The water has very little pressure you will have to be patient. Shower option is not available.Tessa’s pool, which was the highlight of our visit, is only 17km away, and Bridal veil is approximately 5km away. Stonehouse Lodge has a homely feel and my family loved it
