Nestled within medieval-style fortress surrounded by manicured gardens, Nesbitt Castle serves as a posh hotel and wedding venue with a quirky ambience. It was originally built in the late 19th century as a private residence for the eccentric Gothic-style aficionado Theodore Holdengarde. The interior features lavish rooms furnished with antiques, an Irish-style pub, and a dining room with wood-paneled walls. Wander through the labyrinth of passages and twisting staircases adorned with carved wooden furniture, gold-framed paintings, and other Gothic curiosities. Amenities include a billiard room and an outdoor pool. Make Nesbitt Castle a part of your Bulawayo vacation plans using our Bulawayo trip itinerary planning tool.

  • This lovely Castle is a few streets away from our old home in Bulawayo. Lovely room and gardens service is the usual high standard and very friendly staff.

  • Generally an ok place but I didn't like the fact that only the front of the castle is being neatly maintained while the back and other parts are an eye sore. Had pizza with my kids, it wasn't bad and service was good.
  • Absolutely the Best Wedding venue! The Gardens are amazing! I had an amazing Wedding Photoshoot here! Booking with Amy was a breeze.Thank you Amy and the rest of the Nesbitt Castle Team for making my Special day extra Special!!
