Bayete Guest Lodge

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Bayete Guest Lodge

Bayete Guest Lodge is a family-run guesthouse situated in a quiet residential suburb just outside Victoria Falls town centre. Opened in 2015 on the site of an older property, it is one of the newest lodges in the region, and serves as a good alternative to the larger hotels that predominate on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls.

Enclosed by high walls and set amid tropical gardens, Bayete feels well-removed from the hustle and bustle of nearby Victoria Falls town, despite being only 2.6km from the town centre and 3.6km from the Falls.

With 30 rooms, the property is modestly-sized and maintains a tranquil atmosphere. A small pool offers a pleasant spot to while away the sunny afternoons, while the Ingwezi Tavern offers a cosy retreat in the evenings.

Accommodation

Bayete Guest Lodge offers 30 guest rooms. The standard deluxe rooms are furnished in a clean, modern style, with dark wooden floorboards and white-washed walls. High thatched roofs and wide windows allow in lots of air and light, while repurposed Batonka doors and other recycled artefacts add a touch of character. The beds are queen-size and draped with mosquito nets. Bathrooms feature full walk-in shower.

The larger executive rooms offer additional space and a generously-appointed bathroom with standing Victorian bathtub and walk-in shower. Two of the executive rooms can be used as a family suite, with inter-connecting doorway.

There is also a separate family cottage with 4 beds (one double, three single), and a single honeymoon suite, featuring open-plan lounge and bathroom area, and king-size bed.

Dining

A full-English breakfast is served daily in the boma. Bayete is typically booked on B&B basis, but lunch and dinner menus are available.
