Nothing really

The surrounding vegetation and the garden.

Stayed in March 2025

The surrounding nature was refreshing, the facility was clean and quiet. The host was very responsive and supportive. The place met my expectations

Stayed in February 2025

My only regret is ever having to leave the place at the end of my stay! I would move in if I could! Cannot wait to visit again soon!

Imagine escaping to a hidden retreat, far from the madding crowd of Harare yet close enough to all the great spots in the city! You would not be remiss to wake up thinking you are in Vumba! The sounds of over 200 bird species that fly past throughout the year serenade you from your sleep each morning. The surrounding vegetation and vlei below make you feel like you are on a private safari somewhere further afield than Harare! The gentle breeze from all the trees and dense foliage from the bushes and shrubs that surround the property gives you maximum shade and privacy - no privacy screens or sunscreen needed! The property is an architectural marvel! Lots of windows flood the place with natural light by day and enhance views to harmonise with nature. There is spacious storage and a huge shower! So much thought and care was put into designing this timeless and practical place. The softest and luxurious cotton bedding that is at par with some of the best hotels I have stayed in around the world and the pillows are plump! The furniture selection is timeless and gives beautiful aesthetics for photos yet very functional and comfortable to live in. Not only do you get a dining table they also have a bureau and desk and chair as well as 2 sets of garden tables and chairs and a braai stand! The gardens are well manicured with well tended plants. It doesn’t end there! The place comes with a well stocked kitchen for the perfect breakfast fit for a king! Eggs, sausages, juices, fruit, yoghurts galore! The host, Barbara, is the kindest and most helpful being who is always ready and available yet well out of your way at the same time - magical fairy, she is! Borrowdale race course is under an hour away and less than $10 in a taxi. Highlands and its country clubs and restaurants is a short drive away too. Water, Electricity and wifi are available 24/7.

We loved all things

Uniquely quiet and beautiful environment as well proximité to a special natural wetlands, 500 hectares, yet close to city

Stayed in February 2025

The roads leading to the place are bad. But that’s not the hosts fault. Otherwise I have no complaints about the property itself.

The host was welcoming and very helpful. Communication with her was efficient. The breakfast was good and the apartment comes with a fully functional kitchen. Extras like spices, cooking oil and dish washing soap are provided if you want to cook meals.

Booking for 5 nights giving a benefit of the doubt, I could have booked for all 10 days

The environment is peaceful and quiet

Nothing to complain about from my experience.

The room itself was exceptional! Clean and cozy making it worth the stay. Managed to get some time to rest away from the busy and noisy life within the city.

Very open space, clean and well maintained. Breakfast is very nice for people like us who like to do everything at our own time. Hosts are super friendly and helpful.

The directions are a little tricky if you are an out of towner like me and Google maps is no good in Harare. Once you know the road though, no problem.

I really enjoyed my stay at Nature on the Hill. A very well appointed and spacious room, great bathroom and shower. I booked at the very last minute and was really impressed. Next time i am in Harare, I will definitely go back. It is a peaceful and very pleasant home away from home and a get away from the madness of what is Harare! Barbara the host is just amazing and made every effort to look after me during my stay. Even a 6am on a Monday morning when my car wouldn't start, she was so helpful, she got her car out of the garage and helped jump start my car. Well worth the visit.

The only thing I didn’t like about my stay was having to leave

It’s just like all the great reviews said. I was not disappointed. We had a great stay, very relaxed, very full of nature. When they say breakfast is included they don’t play. The fridge was fully stocked with breakfast items and so was the kitchen. I would recommend to everyone.

Stayed in August 2024

Nothing, everything was perfect

It's a great place to stay, very relaxing and restorative for the soul, it's been a long time since I've slept so well. The owner is super friendly and makes sure your stay is as pleasant as possible. I would definitely go back.

Stayed in July 2024

No restaurants or market within waking distance but would still stay here again.

Beautiful, spacious room and well equipped kitchen. Loved the huge shower and walks along the wetland. Lovely view and excellent host.

Stayed in July 2024

Bearing in mind I was unwell and stayed in my room more than going out, I feel highly quilified to recommend everything about this little gem. I felt very well looked after and was really comfortable. I had everything I needed to relax, chill and recover.

Stayed in July 2024

Access road was awful, but typical of Harare. Rush hour traffic is awful,typical of Harare. The wetland had a recent fire, seasonal, but will soon recover.

Lovely self catering cottage. Well appointed, microwave, fridge, comfortable bed, mosquito net (not needed) etc. Peaceful environment.

This is an exceptional place, mainly if you are working in Harare: modern, next to a natural park, calm, clean, safe and nicely decorated. Only 15 min. far from all key areas / neighborhoods. Barbara is an excellent host. I fully recommend it and I would come back for sure. In sum, excellent value for money + nice!!! Thank you.

Stayed in June 2024

Barbara is an amazing host. Very warm and welcoming. The room was comfortable, beautifully decorated. fridge was well stocked, toiletries available and there was no need to get out giving you more time to enjoy the serenity of the place. The location is nice and quiet.. Just what we needed.

everything was amazing.

Missing DSTV only.

Amazing place with so nice and warm owners. Barbara makes better overall experience in city Harare which is not so easy city at the first glance for non african. In the perfect area with greens and perfect silence. You do not have a feeling of being in chaotic Harare, feeling like being far away from city and you are literally in city. Nice apartment with everything inside and stable wifi..

Stayed in September 2023

Absolutely nothing.

Exceptional is the only word to describe this beautiful apartment which has all and everything you could require. Add to that the super hosts who couldn't have been more helpful! This is the best accommodation we have had on our travels so far 👍
