“Great place to truly find rest and recharge!”
If you're looking for a place to properly rest & recharge - look no further! The beds are nice, the room is super dark with the curtains closed, and the cottages are quiet and peaceful. The hosts were quick to respond and helpful. Oh and there was plenty of parking space :) Would stay here again (and already booked again)!

Friendly staff, clean, helped me organise trips and activities, the location is about 15 min walk into main town but you’d need a taxi once it gets dark.

“Epic Experience”
I loved the calmness, convenient location and very supportive team. Cyril made sure I had the best experience in Victoria falls. He also helped me with all my activities and recommended great places for me to eat at or visit. The place was great with all that I needed, fully equipped kitchen, delicious breakfast etc.I will add my ink and voice to the rest of the travellers to say this hideout is highly recommended. Thank you Cyril and Team. I made it safely Back to Uganda and will ensure you have more visitors from Uganda 😃

Lovely peaceful place to stay in Vic Falls - always a warm welcome from Cyril and the staff - fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook your own meals and complimentary tea and coffee in the bedroom. The pool for cooling off is great. Just a few minutes from the centre of town.

“Convenient place to stay in Victoria Falls”
Enjoyed my stay at Pennywise Cottages. Clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, working AC and fan. Convenient location: 25 minutes walk to the falls and 15 minutes to supermarkets and downtown. Quiet area. There's a breakfast served every morning for US5 - inform the reception a day ahead. The staff is friendly and helpful.

“Good value for a budget hotel. It's not luxurious, but things work and the staff are helpful.”
The room was spacious. The basics. The plumbing worked, the water was hot and the place was clean and the overhead fan and air conditioner worked. It's close enough to town to walk, even in scorching heat. Great to have access to a kitchen.

Breakfast provided for a small cost, pretty good (English Breakfast). Great staff and the pictures online don't quite do the rooms/place justice. Great price for Vic Falls too, felt this was a great stay. decent shower too.
