The problem of where to stay close to the South African/Zimbabwean border was made easier when, at the end of 1998, the Holiday Inn Express opened in Beitbridge. Each of the hotel's 104 rooms are equipped with shower and hairdryer, remote control colour TV, as well as modern point and work areas. The hotel has rooms specifically for non-smokers, and rooms equipped for people with disabilities. Free on-site parking as well as a swimming pool make the Express by Holiday Inn Beitbridge the ideal place for a stop-over when driving to or through Zimbabwe.
