You read so many reviews not knowing whether they are biased or self created, arriving with a skeptical mind not knowing what to expect. I arrived on a Monday evening after a long flight, shuttle bus waiting already l was like awesome. A drive to Jacana Gardens which was pleasant then to be greeted by Rian and Willem who are... More

I've stayed at Jacana Gardens on two separate occasions and have loved it each time. The rooms are lovely and the quirky furnishings a delight. The owners Rian and Willem are hands on and they go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. If you are looking for excellent quality accommodation and a friendly homely ambience, then Jacana... More

Rian is perfect host. She makes everyone feel so welcome. We stayed in Harare for a wedding. Jacana gardens owners and staff made the brides start to her wedding day a relaxed tranquil affair. The rooms are large, elegantly appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was served to take advantage of the beautiful garden setting overlooking the pool. Food choice and quality... More

It is located in a nice neighborhood great for running or walking.The room and bathroom were huge. The shower was the largest one I have ever seen. The bed was comfortable and I slept better here than anywhere else on my 4... More

We think it´s the Feng-Shui that makes people sleep so well, as we hear this a lot ! Its not our intention to compete with dinner prices, all our food is home cooked by an excellent cook and we are using the best meats and other fresh ingredients in town. More

Excellent host, charming setting. I had a room in the main house which was a lil noisy during the breakfast. A taxi trip will cost between USD 15-20 depending on your negotiation skills. All rest is great!

Interaction with the lodge was great as reservations and payment is all done online. The lodge is peaceful and away from the city buzz which is ideal after a long day of meetings. Lack of credit card facilities at the venue not ideal. Breakfast menu needs some work

My girlfriend and I stayed at Jacana Lodge for a couple of nights over Christmas. The owners sorted out the airport transfer for us, which was handy as we landed in Harare late and tired. It's not that close to Harare city centre, but in one of the suburbs, which is no bad thing. It's easy enough to sort out... More

I have stayed at most of the lodges in Harare and when I saw Jacana here on Tripadvisor I was quite suspicious as I hadn't heard of it before and the reviews were too overwhelmingly positive. Because of this I waited until reaching Harare and checking the place out before booking a room. I have to say that when weighing... More

I had a very pleasant stay at Jacana Gardens Guest Lodge. Lovely, clean, spacious room and building; nice breakfast. Friendly, helpful hosts. Location is a plus if you want a quiet stay far from town. Taxi to Harare costs $15.00.
