Norma Jean’s Lake View Resort – Great Zimbabwe Monument

At Norma Jeane’s Lakeview Resort (S20 14 94 E31 00 17) the term ‘home away from home’ is not a tourist cliché. This is exactly what you’ll find – delicious home-style cooking, comfortable accommodation, beautiful gardens, friendly service and a breathtaking view of Lake Mutirikwi. Norma Jeane’s is built around the tin-roofed homestead of Murray MacDougal, who was responsible for the building of said lake (previously known as the Kyle Dam). Mr MacDougal certainly had an eye for a great spot! Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms (with dining and lounge facilities), to self-catering rooms, or budget rooms and a camp site.
