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 professional yet friendly staff welcome you with genuine warmth, making you feel instantly at ease. The lodges are thoughtfully designed, offering cozy sanctuaries that blend comfort with elegance. My room became a personal retreat, perfect for both relaxation and productivity. I spent countless hours on the patio, surrounded by the verdant landscape, finding inspiration in the peaceful environment. The property boasts a refreshing pool area, ideal for unwinding or gentle exercise, while the well-equipped fitness center caters to more vigorous workouts. These amenities, coupled with the tranquil gardens, create a holistic space for rejuvenation. Mealtimes at York Lodge are a delight, with delicious, home-style cooking that nourishes both body and soul. The dining experience, set against the backdrop of the beautiful grounds, perfectly complements the cozy ambiance of the lodge. My stay at York Lodge felt all too brief, leaving me longing to return to this homely retreat and its natural beauty.
