Charming accommodations in Livingstone

Spent a couple nights here and realized we could’ve easily extended that to several nights with everything to do in the area. Of course, went to both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides of Victoria Falls, and also arranged other tours through Fawlty Towers to do a game drive, sunset cruise, and walk with lions, all of which were amazing and memorable. The room was nice, with a sizable bathroom and comfortable beds. The public spaces were quite nice, where there’s a bar area (complete with African-inspired photos of Basil and company with the local tribes and animals) and outdoor tables next to the pool. We enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality, and would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking to visit the area.

Very friendly and extremely helpful staff. We made a couple of friends. Would like the room to be cleaned at least once per week as we are not there most of the time with clean towels daily as the towels do not dry completely after use when not hanging outside to dry. Will definately come again in December and will recommend Fawlty Towers to friends and family. Thank you very much for a very pleasant stay. We didn't want to leave.

It was a shame that no hot water brought this review down from a 5 star. Otherwise I was more than satisfied, but a hot shower was something I was seriously looking forward to after a week of bucket showers.
