In this highly competitive age, where sometimes conventional hotel etiquette ceases to be fashionable for travellers, be it on business or leisure, a serviced apartment is an ideal home, and more so, if you are in Harare, Bright Castle Apartments is a classic example of a beacon of comforts and a fantasy of experience.
Situated in the heart of the City, along the buzzing Samora Machel Avenue opposite the majestic Holiday Inn hotel, as if confrontational, the biblical allegory of a David and Goliath quickly comes to mind, defiant, elegant, Bright Castle Apartments’s grandeur, a miniature reflection of its imposing neighbour is a pure master stroke.
The fully furnished apartment presents a homely environment perfect for group travel or family partying with two exquisite bedroom suits, a contemporary lounge with well cushioned leather sofas, spacious dining space, and kitchenette with perfect cooking facilities.
The bathing room is neatly furnished with a bathing tub and state of the art toiletry facilities while a neatly curved garden awaits the apartment’s occupants in the warming embrace of Harare’s healing sunshine.

Not only is it a cheaper and a much flexible domicile, serviced apartments are the in-thing world over suiting all travellers’ tastes.
“With hotels becoming expensive, I noticed a gap that needed to be filled for a cheaper alternative type of accommodation with the same welcoming comforts as that of a hotel. This is a growing concern worldwide. People want more space, a space that caters for large groups, allows them to make their own meals which is not the case with hotels,” Tsitsi Chinyandura, director at Bright Castle Apartments and Holiday Homes said.
