A tranquil oasis on the outskirts of Harare set in beautiful grounds. The rooms are spacious and well laid out and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. For anyone needing to go to Harare for whatever reason then look no further than the York Lodge. I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

A beautiful lodge with 12 individually decorated rooms, all maintained to a very high standard. The gardens are lovely and it feels very secure. The communal areas are also very well laid out and welcoming. The owners take a great pride in the lodge, evidenced by the fact that they have even arranged and paid for street lights in the... More

I had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks at the York Lodge in March this year and I had an excellent stay. Friendly staff, superb food, comfortable and clean rooms, not to mention the beautiful surrounding gardens. I could not have asked for a better place to stay while I was working in Harare and I look forward to staying... More

Having never been to Harare before I was unsure what to expect but I could not have anticipated such a great place - real personalised hospitality combined with professionalism. Clean, large rooms, great food, a beautiful garden setting and functioning WiFi as well. Never mind about being the best place to stay in Harare - I wish there was somewhere... More

York Lodge is a charming colonial style bungalow set in immaculate verdant gardens. You will be warmly welcomed by Les and Margot and their staff. The rooms are comfortable and the food wholesome. There are two swimming pools in the gardens for relaxation - and there are three lovely dogs!

The York Lodge was reserved by my husband's workplace (Diplomatic mission) when we arrived in Harare. On arrival after 3 days of travelling from the other side of the world, we were faced with a very hostile lady. Just when I was getting off the vehical with our son, she ran inside in an agitated manner saying "I did not... More

My return to Harare on business after 5 years was really made by staying at this superb lodge. Excellent service, good food, really nice rooms, safe, good location to get around Harare. Will certainly stay again if I can get in - it is very a popular place.

A rare little haven of peace and security in Harare. Friendly, clean and manicured gardens. Excellent food, service a little on the slow side but that is because they start cooking when the kitchen gets your order (not like the big chains). Walled compound gives security to you and your car. This is the only hotel in Harare I know... More
