The cottage is cozy, with a natural and calming style. I enjoyed it as my workspace—a peaceful and creative place. And I was well looked after.

Nothing to do with the hosts...but the city electricity was out quite often. The room had battery/inverter back up which was great. However, the water supply /pressure required electricity. This simply meant having to message the hosts when I was ready for a shower, and they would put on their generator for me. The hosts were great! I just wish I would not have to bother them at shower time.

The self-serve morning breakfast provisions in the room were simple but entirely perfect for me. Yogurt, muesli, fruit, tea and coffee. The room was quiet, allowing me to rest well and work at the desk.

I wish I could have stayed longer.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and my room was clean and comfortable. The property is beautifully landscaped, and I enjoyed peace and quiet during my stay. I stayed for a week, and I've never slept better! I would recommend this property to friends and family.

HARARE IS HAVING ELECTRICAL POWER CUTS AT NIGHT. PROPERTY HAS GENERATOR THAT HAS TO BE SWITCHED ON WHEN NECESSARY.

VERY COZY COTTAGES WITH PERFECT LOCATION. HOSTS ARE WONDERFUL AND ALWAYS AVAIABLE TO HELP.

This is not a problem with the cottage but be aware that your cellular service may not work in Harare. If you think you'll need it, best to arrange a SIM card once you arrive. Otherwise, Irene was happy to call a taxi for me which was all I needed.

I loved the cottage's design including an al fresco shower with greenery and hot water! There is even a fireplace for colder temps. The kitchenette was well appointed with all you need, plus fresh pastries.

Think the bedding needs to shelve the blankets in favour of washable duvets after the cold winter season. Wifi a little slow

The cottage is quite rustic with a brilliant huge tree growing out of the outside shower. Architectural genius. Fantastic collection of really progressive literature from politics to novels. The garden is charming.The breakfast was healthy but basic continental with fresh fruit and yoghurt and cereal. Bed was comfortable and kitchen facilities helpful for self catering

Ours was a beautiful cottage with a private outdoor shower adjacent to a mature tree,which was observed from the bed through roof height windows. The large, mature, impeccably maintained gardens were filled with dozens of different species of brightly coloured birds and some giant trees. Parking is safe and the area feels secure. Avondale shopping centre and Nandos restaurant are a mile away and there are reliable taxis located there (5 US dollars fare each way ). We visited Great Zimbabwe down the new A4 dual carriageway which is about 95% complete and equal to any European highway (journey took about 4.5 hours, approximately 200 miles). I sincerely hope to be able to return. .

An electric gate may provide more convinience especially during the rainy season but was not really a big issue

The hosts really go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and there are wonderful little touches like the toiletries, books to read, cookies etc that warm the heart. The hosts are lovely, so warm and welcoming and what a delightful cottage with a fantastic outdoor shower!

Spacious and beautiful rooms provided us the space we needed to achieve a long list of things during our stay. We loved the birdlife in the trees, which we watched from the verandah, and included purple crested louries and sunbirds. Irene. And Murray were warm and helpful hosts. Great location for getting business done in Harare.

The outside shower is magnificent.

Good hosts and very welcoming. The human touch is very very good. it makes it a perfect place.

A small tv perhaps, just for some background sound. 😊

Unfortunately, I left too early in the morning to have breakfast, but, knowing Irene and Murray, I'm sure it would have been excellent. It was peaceful, tranquil, Irene and Murray were very caring and concerned about my welfare and comfort.

It was such an amazing experience, a very relaxing atmosphere in the heart of Harare. Irene and Murray took care of me with such love and passion. Will definitely be back, and will definitely recommend others to book a stay with them!

My 84 year old Mom did not like the fact that the shower was outside.

I liked that it was spacious and homely. And the staff were very pleasant and friendly.

You didn’t any information for place to visit, two days don’t clean my room, and never change the towels during 5 days!!!!

The quiet place and neighborhood….

Had a random stranger (not staying at the place) knock at my glass garden door early morning asking to see owners. made me question the security of the place.

Good location, breakfast,

The owners of the cottage are awesome, very kind and helpful, ordered dinner for me and we're very supportive in helping me achieve the purpose of my visitation to Zimbabwe and dropped me off at my location. 24hrs internet, I sure would recommend Weaver cottage to anyone going to Zimbabwe. what I cherish the most is the book they gave to be as a gift. Looking forward to visiting again.
