    We loved the quiet and beautiful neighborhood, perfect for a peaceful stay. the owner was exceptionally helpful and organized a sunset river cruise for us. the breakfast on the patio was hearty and delicious. the pool under a huge tree was refreshing. We were able to walk to the city center in just 20 minutes. Close proximity to the safari lodge allowed for a beautiful nature walk.

    Felt like family, with the owner being attentive and genuinely interested in our stories.

    This hidden gem is located in a peaceful and safe area, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. The hosts are incredibly friendly, treating guests like family and ensuring a warm welcome. The cozy rooms are clean and comfortable, with excellent wifi signal. The delicious breakfast, prepared by the attentive staff, is a great way to start the day.

    Towels could be improved on.

    I had a pleasant stay at a budget-friendly accommodation near Victoria Falls. The property may be a bit dated, but the rooms were clean and the breakfast was satisfying. Despite occasional power outages, the WiFi and lights were backed up by a generator. The staff were helpful, although there was a slight miscommunication about ordering a taxi. I would recommend this hotel for its affordability and proximity to the falls.

    The location of the hotel was great, with easy access to the main attractions and the border. the rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful, providing us with useful information about the area. the breakfast provided was delicious and had a good variety of food options.

    During our stay, we experienced frequent power outages which disrupted our plans and made it difficult to move around the hotel. This was quite frustrating and affected our overall experience.

    For what you pay, this place is an absolute steal! I had one of the best value for money accommodations ever at Pennywise Cottages. the room had everything I needed, from plenty of plugs to comfortable beds and hot water in the shower. the friendly staff, especially Cyril, made my stay even better. the decor matched the country's vibe perfectly, and the quiet and safe neighborhood added to the relaxing atmosphere. While the Falls were a bit far away, they were still walkable, and I never needed a taxi.

    A lovely and budget-friendly place to stay. Cons: Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

    The location of the cottages is convenient for exploring the area, with a short walk to town and easy access to a nearby safari lodge for nature walks. Guests mentioned the friendly and welcoming staff, including Cyril, who provided helpful information and assistance. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with amenities such as air conditioning, private bathrooms, and TVs. Guests also enjoyed the hearty breakfast served on the patio and the refreshing pool under a large tree.

    Some guests mentioned that the cottages could be closer to town, which might not suit those who prefer not to walk long distances.

    My stay at Pennywise Cottages was a great experience! The location was convenient and the old world charm added to the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. One particular instance that stood out was when my flight was delayed by 4 hours. The hotel allowed me to stay in my room until 2.30pm, which was a huge help.

    Although there were a few minor drawbacks, such as the small room size and the subpar water pressure in the shower, they didn't significantly affect my overall experience. The internet speed could also be improved, but considering the location, I understand that it may be a common issue in the area.

    Friendly staff and safe location. Cozy and clean room with good wifi. Excellent breakfast and the option to prepare own meals. Overall pleasant and cozy stay.

    Room was a bit dark with dark colors and some dirty bed linen. Encountered a spider and mosquitoes which made it difficult to sleep comfortably.

    The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, with multiple types of electric plug sockets and backup generators in case of power cuts. the amenities provided, such as shampoo and soap, were of good quality. the staff was very helpful and friendly, always willing to assist with any questions or requests. the location was convenient, within walking distance to the main tourist street and attractions, although a taxi was needed at night for safety.

    The lack of a restaurant on site meant having to venture out for dinner after dark, which could be inconvenient. There were some issues with payment for tours booked through the hotel, resulting in double charges on credit cards.

    I had a fantastic stay at Pennywise Cottages. The host Cyril went above and beyond to make sure I had a memorable experience. The beautiful sculptures in the garden created a pleasant atmosphere, perfect for relaxing on the veranda. The WiFi connection was excellent, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay. The warm evenings spent chatting with Cyril and listening to the sounds of the African night were truly magical.
