Grit personified.

Why guests remember this place

The colour. A mural, painted columns and a lit sign. Nobody forgets where they stayed.

The calm. A quiet ward on the edge of the village. You hear birds, not trucks.

The care. Towel swans. Fresh flowers on the bed. Fairy lights when you ask. Staff who remember your name.

The convenience. A room, a car and a 24-hour reception on one property. Everything you need for Serowe, in one yard.

The grit. Our motto is "Grit Personified." A family-run place, built from the ground up, in the village where Botswana's first president was born and is laid to rest.

Not your average guest house

Most guest houses look the same. Beige walls. Same picture above every bed.

Not here.

Walk through reception and a wall-sized mural wraps around you. Swirls of pink, blue, yellow and orange. Big painted leaves. A lit marquee sign that spells out THE WILD THING. Even the brick columns outside are painted in stripes of yellow, pink and blue.

Then you open your room door and the noise drops away. White linen. A folded towel swan. Quiet. That contrast is the whole idea. Bold outside. Calm inside.
