Highlights

Matobo Hills on your doorstep

A 45-minute drive delivers you to UNESCO-listed granite kopjes, ancient rock art and Rhodes' Grave at World's View.

Walk to Hillside's best

Centenary Park, the Natural History Museum and Bulawayo's leafy avenues are a short stroll from the door.

Old-world Tudor character

Pitched roofs, timber beams and a quiet garden setting — a working piece of Bulawayo heritage since the city's heyday.

A base for business and safari

Equally easy for a Hwange or Vic Falls add-on as it is for meetings in town — with secure parking and reliable Wi-Fi.
