What to Expect
Mayfair, a lodge and restaurant on the Mt Darwin Road in Bindura, gets mixed reviews on both accommodation and food. Andrasz (2025) called the restaurant “simple but tasty and well prepared”, listing “usual choice of t-bone, pork chops, chicken or fish”. Marvellous (March 2026) loved “everything about this place”, from food to rooms.
Slow service comes up repeatedly. Sydney (2023) “felt like food preparation took forever”, and Ray (2022) said food “took way to much time to come out no matter how many times you point it out and wasn't up to standard considering the cost”. Sikhangele (2023) was harsher still, saying only one staff member served the table well and would not recommend the venue.
Running water and wifi are also flagged as unreliable: Sydney (2023) mentioned “no running water mostly despite getting a 20L bucket”, and Ray (2022) noted the wifi “is not always available at the rooms”. Mayfair's restaurant serves guests and visitors on-site.

Choices are very limited when staying in Bindura, did not have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are spacious and clean, bathrooms have hot water (some rooms have showers, some bathtubs, the latter are not really practical), and the restaurant offers…
★☆☆☆☆
Some of the staff don't know how to talk to customers. Services said to be provided such as the wifi is not always available at the rooms. Food took way to much time to come out no matter how many times you point it out and wasn't up to standard considering the cost.
★★☆☆☆
My stay was peaceful but I felt like food preparation took forever. Conversations with staff were polite and mechanical- disallowed need to ask for further information. There was no running water mostly despite getting a 20L bucket for all needs all day. They could improve a lot!
★☆☆☆☆
The owner needs to be serious if he intends to join the Hospitality Industry. He also needs to train his staff and only one guy who served us well under the circumstances, ever smiling. The Owner I have no comment. A place I would not recommend anyone even in my Sleep.
★★★★★
I just love everything about this place. Food, excellent Rooms, very clean Service ❤️
