Please note that access to the property is via stairs, which means it is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible and may not be ideal for guests with physical challenges.
The Space
Wake up to the sound of birdsong and sunlight filtering through the msasa trees. Step onto your private deck with a cup of coffee or tea to watch passing birds as you plan your day. In the evening, you can enjoy a stroll along the road or relax on the deck with a drink as the evening sounds of nature emerge.

As a Business Executive with a passion for travel, I've spent countless hours in hotels and short-term rentals around the world. I've taken the best of those experiences—and learned from the rest—to design and manage Hayhill Treetop Escape.
My goal is to create the kind of space I've always wanted to find on my own travels: a place where comfort and practicality meet genuine hospitality. The on-site caretaker is assigned to personally assist you throughout your stay. When I'm around, I enjoy meeting fellow travellers and sharing my personal connections to help you make the most of your time here, whether you're looking to explore Zimbabwe's wonders or simply need a quiet place to recharge. We look forward to welcoming you!
