Good English food, great owner and staff. Just an amazingly beautiful restaurant inside and especially outside with trampoline and playground for children.

Great atmosphere, beautiful setting and very kid friendly. The service was good and the staff friendly. A pleasant couple of hours flew past chatting over cappuccino and fresh scones.

We hadn't been here before, but popped in for some lunch.The grouds are beautiful and so much space. We had children with us. So it was wonderful to have lots of space for them to play. The trampoline was a real hit with the little ones and they enjoyed playing with the rabbits and chickens. Such a sweet place!The food was really lovely. Fresh, huge portions, full with flavour. The service was really lovely too! Friendly and knowledgeable.Great little place and definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely little restaurant.

Such a beautiful and pretty restaurant - nature's paradise. The gardens are simply immaculate. Everything about the place is breathtaking. The food was also really great and so was the service. Excellent, nothing to complain about! I would definitely come again and would recommend to everyone!

This gem was absolutely amazing. So good in fact, that we visited twice in our week in Harare. The food, the service, the gardens and the atmosphere was unreal. Zimbabweans are second to none when it comes to flavours and we certainly learned a few things from visiting here. This is a definite “must visit” place if you’re in Harare. Also has a wonderful gift shop on site which was a lovely extra treat. Thank you for the fabulous experience!
