Lovely stay, will be back.
Pros:

Beautiful property with nice view and good location. Breakfast was absolutely lovely and the staff very accommodating. We could also check in earlier which was an added bonus after a long day.

Cons:

The thing that could be given more attention is a mirror at the desk area to style hair - the mirror at the basin doesn’t have a plug, resulting in a person having to stand inside the small clothes cupboard where there is a plug to style your hair. We also experienced a lot of noisy door slamming from neighbours during the night.

Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Zimbali Capital – 10/10 Experience!

We spent two days at The Zimbali Capital celebrating my daughter’s birthday, and what an amazing experience it was! ❤️🎂

Before our arrival, I spoke to Smangele to arrange something special for my little girl, and she went above and beyond my expectations. A huge shout-out to her and the entire team for making our stay so memorable! 🥹❤️

From the moment you walk through the door, the entire staff is super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist. The hospitality is truly exceptional!

The breakfast deserves a special mention , everything was so fresh and beautifully prepared. I honestly gained weight in just 48 hours! 😭😂❤️ The food was that good!

The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully French-inspired. And don’t even get me started on the pool! 😍 It was super clean, and I loved how the pool towels were changed regularly to ensure that guests always had fresh, clean towels.

Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful stay. Thank you, Smangele, and the entire team for making my daughter’s birthday celebration so special and for giving us such a fantastic experience.

The Zimbali Capital, you get a solid 10/10 from us! 🥂❤️ We will definitely be back! 🌟
