Accommodation
Our SkyDeck Mountain Retreat incorporates a single mountain villa perched on the edge of the Mutarazi escarpment, with two bedrooms boasting a 180-degree panoramic view of Zimbabwe’s highest mountain (Mt Nyangani at 2593 meters) overlooking the vast mountain wilderness of the Nyanga National Park. Two beautifully appointed en-suite rooms with King size beds, both have access to an outdoor shower, wood-fired Hot-tub and expansive deck.
The SkyDeck villa has a large open central area with spacious lounge sweets, glass fireplace, dining room and interactive kitchen where guests can experience the intricacies of their chefs’ skills in preparing their meals, all whilst overlooking the deck onto this same wilderness.
A large live-edge wooden coffee and normal bar will keep you refreshed. Concertina doors allow the whole central room to become one with the outdoors, embracing the fresh mountain air.
SkyDeck Mountain Retreat is serviced by its own private chef, butler and guide, inclusive of all food and drinks and activities and is only open to one party at a time, taking exclusivity to a new level.
