Frog & Fern Reviews

Robert Mutisi July 28, 2014

It is a place to stay for more than the time you want to be there. Very quiet place with fresh oxygen around. Kitchen, dining and catering and lounge facilities excellent. A honey place in the heart of Chimanaimani. Spent one night there and you will comment the same as I have done. A place where you can not go once. Hospitality excellent and environment excellent
