My experience over a two week stay at Art Lodges was a happy and deeply satisfying one. The kindness and unassuming attentiveness of each one of the staff created a lovely atmosphere. They just go about quietly tending their assigned jobs and respect your space. Michael the manager and the son of the kind hearted proprietors was always available for advice and information. Security issues are uppermost for anyone away from their country and continent. Art Lodges provided safety at every level. It is located in the beautiful leafy Borrowdale area in suburban Harare. One short trip from Art Lodges by taxi I recommend are the Botanical gardens (albeit presently in a supervised but neglected state; hopefully the cafe has reopened). Every morning I enjoyed jogging in the vicinity and in the afternoon walked for 10/15 minutes to Sam Levy's Village, a modern complex of shops, supermarket outlets, banks and excellent cafes, restaurants and wine bars. Zimbabwe has its own currency but US Dollars are used everywhere. Be careful your dollar notes are in basic usable condition as otherwise shops will be refuse them. Very importantly at all times carry 1 and 2 Dollar notes especially if using taxis and for many other transactions. For changing Euros or Sterling to Dollars there is an excellent exchange rate available at an outlet at Sam Levy’s Village. Ask at Art Lodges. Also take note that the roads and footpaths around Art Lodges and to Sam Levy are adequate but less than perfect. Vigilance is necessary especially crossing roads. With the advantage, however, that cars drive on the same side as Ireland, the UK and Malta! Also recommend you download economical Uber type taxi App. In the afternoons or evenings the excellent Thai restaurant and gardens beside Art Lodges ie recommended. Also just for coffee or drinks.

The staff were very helpful at the lodge, from lending a plug adapter to early wake-up calls with coffee. There is an honesty bar for drinks and the option for having dinner at the lodge. There was power backup for when the National grid failed.

The staff members were kind and the housekeeping ladies were always panctual, the space is proper for some self introspection time. I highly recommend, it’s indeed a palance.
