Who We Are

Ashley’s Estate Harare is a private and exclusive use retreat centre in New Marlborough, Harare.

We host one group at a time for corporate retreats, NGO workshops, church leadership sessions, and strategy meetings.
No shared spaces. No outside guests. No distractions.

Our estate includes on-site accommodation for 10-20 people, a private boardroom, gardens, and catering on request.
Every booking includes a 24/7 power and water guarantee to ensure your work never stops.

Located 26km from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, 12km from Harare CBD, and 13 minutes from the new
Zimbabwean Parliament, Ashley’s Estate is positioned for teams who need privacy, focus, and reliability.

ASHLEY’S ESTATE HARARE
One Group. One Estate. Zero Distractions.

What Changed

We now host one group at a time. No individual rooms. No outside guests. No shared facilities. When you book Ashley’s Estate, your team gets the entire property: 10 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, private boardroom, dining for 20, full kitchen, and secure parking.

Most importantly, we invested in the infrastructure that matters. Power is guaranteed through Solar Power and a standby generator that runs the whole Estate. Water is guaranteed through our private borehole and 5000 liter reserve tanks. Peace is guaranteed because your booking means total privacy.

We focus on exclusive-use bookings for groups of 10-20 guests.
Our priority is supporting NGOs, corporate retreats, and training programs that need privacy, space, and a calm environment.
We no longer offer single-room or single-cottage bookings.

After 8 years as Ashley’s Guest House, we saw how group events collapse when venues fail. Workshops end early because of load-shedding. Donor-funded training gets derailed by water outages. Church camps lose focus because of noise from outside guests.

So we rebranded with one mission: Make venue failure impossible.

At Ashley’s Estate Harare - Private Retreat, we serve only groups of 10 to 20 people whose success depends on reliability.

How we fulfill our mission:

  1. One Group at a Time
    We do not rent individual rooms. When you book with us, your team gets the entire estate. No outside guests. No shared spaces. Total privacy to work, connect, and rest.
  2. Infrastructure Guaranteed
    Power is guaranteed through a full generator that runs all 10 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, the boardroom, and kitchen. Water is guaranteed through our private borehole and 5000 liter reserve tanks. When Harare has outages, your retreat does not.
  3. Outcomes Protected
    We host Corporate strategy sessions, NGO training, Church leadership camps, and Large Family reunions. Your budget is approved. Your people are ready. Our job is to ensure the venue never becomes your problem.

We measure success by your last day: Did your training finish on time? Did your strategy get completed? Did your team leave stronger? If yes, we did our job.

Ashley’s Estate Harare exists so your group can achieve its purpose — without apology, without interruption.

Power Guaranteed. Water Guaranteed. Peace Guaranteed.
