I chose to stay at Wayside based on reviews on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. Although the buildings are dated, they are immaculately clean. My room was like a suite, with a separate office space, and very well equipped: air conditioning; full package DSTV (which is a rarity!); my own table and verandah; and the widest range of bathroom amenities...

my family of five spent 2 nights at the wayside during our visit to Africa in Dec 2011. Beverly was extremely helpful in arranging transport from the airport to the wayside at a much cheaper rate than one could negoiate at the airport. the last thing you feel like doing is haggling with agressive taxi drivers after 20 hours of...

I had to stay in Lusaka for a week for work. I read a previous Trip Advisor review and chose the Wayside Guest House. It was brilliant! Beverley was very welcoming and helpful. The bungalow was lovely with good internet reception and facilities including my own kitchen and fridge. The ground were so beautiful if was so relaxing after the... More

Rooms are very spacious with a fine bathroom and a separate room with closet and writing table. In front of the room is a covered terrace with table and chairs. The welcome is personal... More

We arrived late morning and although Wayside offers bed and breakfast we were immediately offered snacks and made to feel really welcome. The setting is on an old farm with extensive grounds that have been landscaped to create a real oasis in the city. Everything is geared to making guests feel like personal visitors.

I loved the Wayside Guest House. It was a good value and had everything a business traveler needs - wireless internet, safe, good service, great breakfast, easy communication with manager, airport transfer with sign, etc. The rooms are not fancy but the bed is comfortable and the mosquito net is very big and well placed, so you're not sleeping up...

Looks very ordinary from the outside, and along a questionable road, but from the moment you enter the gates, we knew we'd found a jewel. The rooms were spotless, well screened, tastefully and simply decorated and provided complimentary coffee/tea/cookies. Spacious verandah, and lovely gardens to wander-make sure you check out the "secret garden" as well!.Pool area and gazebos well kept... More
