Owners: Clive Wood & Leslie Adler​

Clive Wood was born in Zimbabwe, and moved to the United States in his early 30's where he had his own design, build, construction business in the San Francisco Bay Area. He decided to combine his skills with his passion for travel to create The Courtney Boutique Lodge - a luxurious sanctuary that has quickly become one of the most sought-after destinations for discerning travelers.

With his years of experience in construction, Clive was able to carefully design and build every aspect of The Courtney to ensure that it was not only visually stunning but also structurally sound. From the foundation to the finishing touches, no detail was overlooked in creating this exceptional lodge.

Leslie Adler is an integral part of The Courtney Boutique Lodge. Having been born and raised in the United States, she developed a passion for Zimbabwe after years of traveling with her late husband in Africa. She brings her own unique talents and skills to the table, with a particular focus on design.

Leslie's eye for design is truly impeccable, and it can be seen throughout every aspect of The Courtney. From the carefully curated artwork on the walls to the luxurious fabrics and finishes, every detail has been chosen with care to create a cohesive and visually stunning experience for guests. Together, Clive and Leslie have created something truly special with The Courtney Boutique Lodge. What truly sets The Courtney apart is Clive and Leslie's deep understanding of what travelers are looking for in a hotel experience.

Having traveled extensively together, they know that guests want more than just a comfortable bed and a good location. They want to feel pampered and indulged, to be surrounded by beauty and elegance, and to have access to the very best amenities. And that's exactly what you'll find at The Courtney.
