We stayed for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer - what a beautiful setting - tropical plants, flowers, and trees. Beverley and Peter were superb hosts - always close by making sure everything was OK. The rooms were very nice - large bedrooms and bathrooms, lots of room. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. If you want... More

Passing through Lusaka, I spent a night at wayside-guesthouse. The garden is not a garden, it is a huge and very-well kept park. The room was nicely equipped and big with a good mattress and a nice terrace to sit and relax. There is TV, refrigerator, tea preparation facilities and the Wifi works well, unlike many other places in Zambia.... More

Arrived from early flight well before check in time and was greeted with smiles and help. I was able to store my bags until check in time. Lovely rooms and beautiful gardens , the staff were very helpful and the chef did great breakfasts. A real oasis in the Lusaka desert, The room was a good size with a great... More

I could not recommend a place more. Beverley the owner is a delight and an obviously dedicated gardener as her gardens prove. The staff are excellent and the cook puts together an English Breakfast to die for. The rooms have been well thought out and many of the things you find wrong in many guesthouses and hotels in Zambia were... More

After a long 10 hour slog from Lilongwe for an Easter Break, arriving at Wayside through after creeping through rush hour Lusaka traffic I felt instantly relaxed. The automatic gate opened to large extremely well maintained garden. We greeted warmly by all staff and the owners and given advice and help when sought. Arriving to a room with cold beer... More

We stayed at this little oasis guest house in late September 2011 for one night, before flying to Malawi. Having travelled by bus from Livingstone, our arrival into the city coincided with the pending general election result and notable tension in the city centre. Having safely arrived at Wayside, the warm welcome by Beverly and the delicious dinner was much... More

I stayed in August 2012 and it was just great. Beverly is one of the most gracious hosts I've ever met - always very concerned that everything is just right during your stay. Grounds are well maintained and the food is delicious. Rooms have television, air con, a safe, and good mosquito netting. Power outages are a frequent problem in... More

I stayed in the Wayside for 11 nights on a business trip to Zambia. A nice guest house about 7 km from the centre of Lusaka. With only 8 rooms you can be assured of personal attention and meeting other guests. The tropical garden is spacious and very well kept. The owners have thought about small things that really enhance... More

This guesthouse is certainly an oasis in the midst of a busy, crowded, noisy city. The rooms are dated, but very clean. The shower water is hot and plentiful. The surrounding gardens are beautiful and tranquil. There's even a pool, but the unheated water might be too cool for some. The staff are always smiling and very anxious to please.... More
