Masvingo, which translates to “building made out of stones,” is a city in southeastern Zimbabwe. It’s celebrated for one of its biggest tourist attractions, The ruins of Great Zimbabwe, also called Great Zimbabwe. From a historical perspective, it’s a testament to a vanished civilization. Just 30.9 km (19.20 mi) from the city center is Lake Mutirikwi, a man-made lake well-known as a wildlife haven inhabited by white rhinos. Bass fishing is a major draw here.
While in the city, be sure to explore EAG Art Museum Masvingo, which presents a varied array of Zimbabwean cultural items. Upstairs, you’ll find an assorted exhibit, including decorative ostrich eggs, vintage timepieces, and a vuvuzela from the South African World Cup.

1. Lovely cottage in the suburb of Rhodene (from USD 60)
This detached cottage is nestled apart from the main dwelling, offering privacy while allowing you to enjoy the property’s beautiful garden. You can also take relaxing dips in the shared outdoor pool, available seasonally. In addition, convenient parking is provided under a shade port next to the rental.
Inside, you’ll find two bedrooms with two single and a queen bed and two bathrooms. The cottage also features a wardrobe, a kitchenette, and outdoor furniture for comfort and convenience.
It’s important to note that unless prior arrangements have been made, check-in after 8pm is not permitted.

Furthermore, a substantial water tank on the property allows you to enjoy showers or baths comfortably.
