Those who love life and style, swag and a timbre of good feeling now have a place to quench their desires in Bulawayo, the proverbial City of Kings and of course, queens.
Aspitting distance from Bulawayo’s city centre in leafy Hillside Suburb lies Umthombo Lodge; a tastefully decorated home away from home, where the ambience of luxury fills the air.
This is a new generation facility in word and deed. It is a fashion statement. It is a lifestyle statement. Make no mistake, Bulawayo now has a place of little noise but a cool and hidden gem. Lush green and perfectly manicured lawns and paved grounds welcome the visitor.
Since its arrival on the market in March 2017, Umthombo has given Bulawayo a new dimension, redefined leisure and added grandeur to the tourism and hospitality industry.
It is a new generation hospitality centre, perfect for weddings, overnight accommodation, garden functions and conferencing.
With six tastefully decorated rooms, personalised settings and receptive staff, Umthombo is a place good for privacy.
Quietude abound, far from the madding city centre and the hullabaloo of hooters, screeching vehicle tyres, swearing and yelling, vending, the kombi menace and indeed little-everything else that keeps the city jungle alive. Here, you are assured of sound sleep, personalised attention and great space. The rooms are clean and does the tourism and hospitality industry not say, white linen does not lie? It is a statement.
Umthombo is a fashion and leisure statement. An enigma. An attrition against old-style accommodation facilities that have been the mainstay of Bulawayo. And, indeed a resting place, where those who love quietness, style and good out-of-crowd lifestyle can spend their time.
That Umthombo is a five minute-drive from town makes it a perfect place to stay and wander into town to do business, come back and rest. Owned by Dr Mluleki Ncube, the lodge has become the hit of Bulawayo as it has become a favourite for those who want a homely atmosphere and those who love quietness.
For the good life, swag and fashion and a taste of everything good, Umthombo Lodge, is the place.
