About this place
Bayete Guest Lodge Victoria Falls offers comfortable and affordable accommodation in the heart of the Victoria Falls residential area. It is the flagship and first lodge in the Bayete Collection.
Bayete Guest Lodge is a family-run lodge offering 30 rooms set in a lush tropical garden. Central to the lodge is the large teardrop-shaped swimming pool, which is embraced by the Dining Boma and Bar. The Tavern, steeped in history and character, forms the heart of the communal area where guests are welcomed to gather, enjoy refreshments, and socialise.
Room rates at Bayete Guest Lodge include a full English breakfast, served every morning in the dining boma. A delicious seasonal menu prepared by our executive chef is also available for lunch and dinner on request, and meals should be pre-ordered on the day.
We are a quiet oasis far removed from the hustle and bustle of town, offering a tranquil and comfortable escape for both business and leisure travellers. The lodge provides a fast fibre-optic Wi-Fi connection covering all rooms and areas, available to guests free of charge.
Bayete Guest Lodge also features an on-site booking office to help arrange all your Victoria Falls activities, including helicopter flights, tours of the Falls, sunset cruises, and a wide range of sightseeing, game-viewing, and adrenaline adventures.
