An hidden treasure

A proper gem of a place, welcomed every morning by the impala and Zebras while enjoying my morning cuppa. Staff are amazing, helping when ever needed

Lovely group of four lodges, in immaculate private grounds, overlooking the Stanley and Livingstone game reserve. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. We loved the rural “get away from it all” feel, combined with the convenience of Victoria Falls being only a 15 minute taxi ride away.

Entering the property at Ursula's Homestead you are immediately struck by the warm welcome from the staff and the amazing view of wildlife just feet from your room. The chalet style rooms are large and comfortable, with the feel of privacy that makes me feel at home. We sat for hours just watching the wildlife - giraffes, kudu, baboons, impala. No need for a bumpy ride in a safari truck needed. And the food is delicious, too. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent staff, some aspects need attention

Ursula’s Homestead is located 20minutes out of the Victoria Falls town on the edge of a private game reserve. The lodge itself has incredible views over a watering hole and provides a lovely spot to really have some downtime. The pro’s:The staff were just absolutely amazing! Their attentiveness, and professionalism really enhanced the stay. From the super friendly landscaper, to the hospitality team (Prudence, Priscilla, Milly, Caleb, Duncan, Geoffrey), they really are superb. There is an onsite restaurant with which we really enjoyed every meal. The Sadza, fillets, and every breakfast we had were delicious. The room was large and comfortable - they also provided a proper wooden crib (not a pack and play) for our infant. The cons: it’s expensive. To add onto every expense is the cost to take the shuttle into town as it’s $12 per person per direction - highly recommend you stop in town when you can to grab some snacks and drinks as you may be adding $50 to your bill just to get to town and back for 2 people. The biggest let down for us was the room we stayed in. While large and comfortable in terms of the bed and quality bedding, the room is older and in desperate need of a bathroom update. The water was either scalding hot or freezing cold, and the shower had mold in it. As did the floor around the bathtub as the hose leaks if it’s not in the bathtub causing pools of water on the floor. Under the bed could also do with a good clean. Overall we enjoyed the stay
