What people are saying

Crocodile Motel & Conference Centre serves travellers on the Harare–Mutare highway, but recent reviews describe a property in decline. Shadreck (February 2026) called the rooms “terrible” and received a refund after raising concerns the next morning. Allen (December 2025) suggested paving the parking lot and redoing the dining room ceilings.

Older visits paint a different picture. 964faraim (2018) found the reception “cosy and excellent” and slept “like a baby”, reversing an initial low opinion of the property entirely. Mativenga (August 2026) still found the staff friendly and the value reasonable for basic accommodation, though Vimbainaishe (May 2026) noted the TV kept changing channels on its own.

“Was from Inyanga after spending some good time at the Nyangani Mountain in the Nyanga National Park. I drove at sunset towards Rusape intending to proceed to harare. On a second thought decided to pass through the Crocodile Motyel just to have a look at it.”
