  • Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ashley’s Estate booked as single rooms or cottages?

No. We operate exclusive use only. The Main House, Guest Cottage, and Annex Cottage must be booked together as one private venue. Individual rooms or cottages are not available for separate rental.

What’s your policy on alcohol and noise?

Modest consumption of alcoholic beverages is permitted under our licence. Please note we are a strictly low-noise estate and we do not hold a liquor licence. Loud music and parties are not allowed.

Are children allowed?

Yes, children are allowed if the function involves children and we are notified in advance. If children under 18 are attending, adult chaperones must be present at all times.

Can I use outside catering?

Yes. Outside catering is welcome. We require a $100 refundable deposit, fully refunded if there are no breakages or missing items after the event.

How many people does the estate sleep?

The estate has 10 bedrooms across all 3 buildings and sleeps 10-20 guests comfortably. You can bring fewer guests and use the rooms as single occupancy if needed.

What’s included in the rate?

Your booking includes exclusive use of:

  • Main House: 6 bedrooms, lounge, dining, kitchen
  • Guest Cottage: 2 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom
  • Annex Cottage: 2 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom

How much does it cost?

Full Estate Rate: $600
That’s $60 per room per night. $30 per person if two guests are sharing

This is inclusive of 15% VAT and 2% Tourism Tax.

Can 10 executives book and have 1 person per room?

Yes. The rate remains $600/night regardless of guest count between 10-20. If you bring 10 guests, that’s $60/person for private rooms and exclusive use of the entire estate. It’s often cheaper than booking 10 separate hotel rooms in Harare.
