About this place

A cottage in a botanical garden above the mist. Bvumba Garden Cottage sits in Vumba, mountains of the mist. The place is looked after by a resident team who know the area well and are happy to help with directions, firewood and local guides. Rooms are simple and well kept, with good beds and proper linen. Power is backed up so lights, Wi-Fi and fridges keep running during outages, and water comes from the property's own supply. Evenings are best spent outside by the fire.

The space

Bedrooms open onto a shared veranda. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and there is covered seating outside for meals.

    Stayed October 2026, family trip

    We woke to elephants at the waterhole both mornings. Staff were warm and the cook made the best sadza and stew of our trip.

    Stayed January 2026, business trip

    The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.
