Imba Matombo, Harare's only Relais & Chateaux hotel, is an enchanting and exclusive private hotel giving guests the opportunity to enjoy an informal, relaxing and intimate five star alternative to a large hotel. In the heart of Zimbabwe you can experience Africa in a home away from home. Comfort and luxury are complemented by gourmet cuisine and fine wines in the intimate 'Harlequins" restaurant, with skilled chefs creating their very own recipes upholding the quality of the cuisine that is the hallmark of a Relais & Chateaux hotel.

Situated on top of a hill in Glen Lorne, the prestigious suburb of Harare, guests cannot fail to be truly impressed by the magnificent lodges of Imba Matombo. The friendly but unobtrusive service and the personal touch given to the main lodge gives an atmosphere of both warmth and friendliness. One of its most impressive features is the huge and beautiful sitting room featuring a 56ft-thatched ceiling. All the individually decorated guest lodges and rooms sleep two people and are filled with tasteful antique teak railway sleeper furniture and bold colours. There are three standard, three verandah and four superior rooms in total – all are stunning.

Dinner can be served in the formal dining room or the conservatory, or should you wish, entertain al fresco in one of the two outdoor gazebos.

Relaxing is easy at Imba Matombo. Choose to lie in the sun by the 25-metre pool with stunning panoramic views across to Domboshawa or take advantage of the floodlit tennis court. Or simply while away the time reading peacefully on the enormous main verandah or in the poolside jacuzzi. As Harare is only 15 minutes away, transport to and from the city can be arranged making shopping, sight-seeing and exploring easy. There are six golf courses nearby – the staff at Imba Matombo would be happy to book tee-times for any guests who wish to play, and to arrange transport to and from the golf course.
