About Return To Eden

Return To Eden is a family-run business, brought to life by Don and Laurel Watt. Their love for this houseboat and Lake Kariba’s beauty and surrounds is evident in so many things – from the personal way Laurel handled the bookings up until her recent passing, to the way they continuously upgraded the boat and amenities for their guests’ comfort and enjoyment.

In loving memory of Laurel, the family is now committed to keeping this beautiful dream alive, and welcoming guests aboard a houseboat adventure that she would approve of.
