Malachite House

Share this post

Malachite House is a centrally located family owned spacious home in Victoria Falls, that has been turned into a terrific, homely holiday rental. It is ideal for families wanting to self-cater and have the comforts of a home environment, as opposed to a bed & breakfast feel.

Malachite House is made up of 2 sections which can be hired together or separately: the Main House or the Cottage.

Accommodation Options

There are 2 accommodation options (the Main House or the Cottage), which can be hired together or separately.

Malachite Main House

The main house is made up of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is en-suite with shower, basin & toilet. There is a second very spacious bathroom with shower as well as bath, basin and toilet, to service the 2 twin bedrooms. All the bedrooms have air conditioning and lots of storage in lovely built-in cupboards.

The kitchen has all you will need when dining at home, with a cute little breakfast bar, that opens on to the lounge area. Most meals are taken on the beautiful big verandah, accessed by sliding glass doors. The lounge has a standing fan to keep the area cool, with wall mounted fans on the verandah. There is a braai area next to the private swimming pool located off the front verandah, which is screened from the cottage by the lush gardens.

We had a fantastic experience with Bryony and her team. Bryony is clearly knowledgeable about the region and guided us through our options and the Lake Kariba houseboat booking and choices. We had a fantastic time and I would thoroughly recommend using Heartveld.

We have just had an amazing 6 nights on Tambarara houseboat organised by Heartveld Adventures. The boat was very comfortable and the staff were excellent. The captain, Reg, was very professional and helpful, the chef cooked delicious meals, the barman kept our drinks flowing, the cleaners left animals made from our towels on our beds at night and the guys on the tender boat were so good with the boys aged 3, 5, 7 and 9 showing them what to do and putting on worms, for us as well. Highly recommended.

The trip was all you could ask for when you want to relax and forget about the world. Captain Godrey and his team consisting Pilot, Chef Takesure and Silas made our stay comfortable and easy. The food was flavourful and filling. You couldn’t say no to Chef Takesure’s meals. Silas kept our cooler box ready every day because he knew we loved our drinks cold and first thing in the morning. Pilot and Captain Godfrey took us to amazing views, magical sunset cruises and helped me find all the crocodiles I was looking for. I totally recommend Heartveld Adventures for all your Kariba fantasies! ☀️⛴️🍹#February2025

Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then! Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic! I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara, Cheers and thanks again Glenn and Family.

Heartveld Adventures really goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. They really think of everything that would be needed for a great holiday. We've been on Driftwood Houseboat twice and am going on the African Queen in September 24. Really is an amazing experience with amazing staff, very helpful and caring about your comfort and enjoyment. Thank you so much 💖

Came across Heartveld Adventures blog by chance whilst trying to plan a holiday adventure in Zimbabwe.Offloaded my thoughts to Bryony, and a well sorted package with more than I asked for was presented.Stopped looking all over the internet for any possible deals, as this was the DEAL.If your intention is to go to Zimbabwe and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst accommodated in places you wouldn't have thought of and known existed, then save yourself the trouble, and get hold of Heartveld Adventures. Their service is what makes the country keeps going.Well done Bryony
