Since we had missed our boat transfer, we had to book an overnight stay here at short notice. The rooms were ok and also clean, the "restaurant" however a single disaster. There was no wine, beer or still water, the snack menu was totally tattered and dirty and therefore unfortunately did not give a positive outlook for dinner. I can't say anything about breakfast, we decided to skip breakfast based on the experience in the evening. I hope it was due to the last minute booking, we were also the only guests ;-).

For the amount that I paid for, I feel as if I got a steal. The rooms were super neat and tidy. The name of the resort is literally what it promises: The Waterfront. The resort over looks a rocky beach giving an amazing view of both sky and lake. The air con in the room did provide refuge to the blistering heat in Kariba.
It would have been better if there was a geyser for hot water though.

The place is of low standards. We got there and they tried to increase the price of the rooms when we’d booked months before. They also claimed not to be able to find our booking and wanted to put us in rooms that faced bushes and not the water as we’d requested. There were no towels in the rooms and we were forced to shower in cold water despite letting them know it should be optional for that whether it’s hot or not. We had to wait 3 hours for substandard dinner. They claimed to have 1 stove working and the other was not. They had no potatoes and we had to eat what they had. They play loud music on speakers throughout the day and you can barely rest. Not aesthetically pleasing as the place and the rooms are way too colorful and not very orderly. Old fashioned wardrobe in the rooms too like you’re in the rural areas. Quite a terrible stay. It’s only worth going for a stop over and leaving the next day.

The reception staff were excellent. Rooms were dated and we had cockroaches so kept our suitcases closed and raised. Poor service in restaurant at breakfast. Tea came after we finished breakfast. Not enough space to move about for buffet arrangements. Located in a remote area views are nice nothing else in immediate vicinity.
