A company in which I have controlling interest bought it in 2016 from Dr Condon's family. The Condon family appears to have run the hotel sometime in the 80s. Thereafter it was run by Mr Barry Binder, from the 90s until the sale in 2016, with the permission of the Condon family.<br /><br />It is still as lovely and scenic as ever. The idealic sunset in summer viewed from the hotel verandah watching over the Lake Mutirikwi is picturesque. <br /><br />As it is one of the oldest hotels in Zimbabwe, I am interested in reconstructing the story of the hotel since its establishment in 1918. Any persons who could be in a position to help in this regard can contact me. Any stories of memorable experiences at the hotel would be most welcome. <br /><br />Best regards;<br /><br />Thembi Magwaliba Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241990786564664807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-82787224719337458352019-08-02T07:59:09.632+02:002019-08-02T07:59:09.632+02:00Affordability of our Custom Research Papers for S...Affordability of our <a href="https://www.meldaresearch.com/legitimate-custom-term-paper-for-sale/" rel="nofollow"> Custom Research Papers for Sale</a> services is one of the main attributes that had made us become the best provider of <a href="https://www.meldaresearch.com/research-papers-for-sale-services/" rel="nofollow"> Research Paper for Sale Online</a> in the industry.<br />jacklinemeldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377610671190413093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-28953068089438090382015-11-11T10:58:46.486+02:002015-11-11T10:58:46.486+02:00Boet van der Walt ~ you must have farmed close to ...Boet van der Walt ~ you must have farmed close to us on Tawamba behind Glenlivet, my late dads horse new it's way home from the hotel over the neck in the mountain you recall.

My husband Allan and I were married at Glenlivet in March 1975.<br />Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-81044579883173109042013-03-05T09:31:46.514+02:002013-03-05T09:31:46.514+02:00Louis D.

Hartley Writes:-<br /><br />When last I heard Glenlivet Hotel is still functioning commercially as a hotel. <br />The major problem is that one of the outlet gates in Kyle wall ( Lake Mutirikwe) is jammed open (no timely repairs and maintenance -a Zanu-Pf ''shamwari'' fiasco ). <br />This has resulted in the Kyle water level ...shoreline receding dramatically.....the lake is currently measured at around 18 % (after the main rains).... so the water that is usually captured and held ..... is escaping with no control.

There was a footpath up the mountain from Glenlivet and if you climbed to the top you could drink whatever the previous climbers had left under a rock at the summit but you had to replace it with your own drink.<br />Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.com
