The property has 10 spacious guestrooms, each air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a private bathroom (hairdryer and slippers provided), a desk, a wardrobe and a private balcony or patio โ some with garden views, some with park views. Complimentary high-speed WiFi, daily housekeeping and premium bathroom toiletries are included in all rooms. Room types cover single, double, twin and family configurations.
Facilities
Chambo Villas has an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by gardens, a shared lounge and bar, and a restaurant serving African, American and pizza cuisine with vegetarian and vegan options. A complimentary full buffet breakfast is provided daily, alongside a coffee shop and a 24-hour front desk with currency exchange and an ATM on site.
