Established in 2011, Ballantynes Lodge is a family-owned guest house in Harare, tucked away in the quiet leafy residential suburb of Ballantynes Park, offering luxury accommodation to people travelling to beautiful Zimbabwe.
They do their best to meet the needs of the business or leisure traveller seeking a tranquil environment, warm hospitality and personal service with attention to detail that only a home can offer.
An average day at Ballantynes Lodge starts with a continental breakfast and barista coffee amongst the birds in the lush green garden, and ends with a drink at the honesty bar or a dip in the sunset-kissed infinity pool.

Together with their experienced team, hands-on owners Shirley and Dean and manager Hayley ensure every guest feels right at home.

Location
Ballantyne Park is central to various restaurants, gyms, spas and shopping centres including Ballantyne Park Shopping Centre, Chisipite Shopping Centre, Borrowdale Village and Willomead Junction.
