Nesbitt Castle is a delightful medieval surprise nestled in suburban Bulawayo. We loved Nesbitt Castle for the following reasons: * Its uniqueness - who'd have though you could find a castle in Zimbabwe? * Its authenticness - The layout of the castle wanders, with tiny hallways and passages going up, down and all around. The rooms are packed with period... More

As an extensive business traveller in Africa, it’s nice to come to a Hotel that is clean, friendly, very well appointed and interested in your comfort, which is not going to charge you over the odds for the accommodation. The only complaint I can possibly make is the fact that the staff, in their entirety, knock off at 9pm which... More

My husband & I stayed at the Nesbitt Castle last month during part of our honeymoon in Zimbabwe. We felt so pampered and warmly received by everyone at this incredible property. The castle sits on several acres of manicured grounds, has a front gate with full time security, and houses a small convention center, chapel, and reception hall in adjacent... More

I wish I could have stayed long enough to satisfy my urge to explore every nook, cranny, and interesting artifact. The castle was constructed with no plan which makes finding your way around an adventure in itself. The ground were gorgeous! Service was good. Food was excellent.

Rooms and hotel reflect British elegance from years past. A unique experience although somewhat pricy. Each room in the hotel features museum quality British artifacts, weapons, mounted animals, and African crafts. Service by staff is excellent and friendly. Actually has an outdoor zoo on the grounds with several species of antelope. Rooms were comfortable and well kept. Had some ants... More

We didn't stay but went for tea and cream scones. All beautifully served. It's quite a treat to go to a castle with the African bush as a background. It will certain appeal to those visitors from countries who do not own 400 year old castles. For me as an African it is a very unusual place but with all... More
