"Very central location, walkable to most things of interest in Livingstone (shops right across the street, museum just 5-10 walk up the street, and out of town transport just beyond that)."

Its central location near the supermarket and just a short taxi ride to the falls is remarkably convenient. In my opinion, this accommodation strikes a delightful balance between value and service.”
