This is a new hostel, honestly is going to be a new hostel. Helen, an English ex-backpacker who moved to Mozambique, hosts backpackers in her house turned to hostel whilst waiting for the final approval from the local authorities to open a proper backpackers place. Since there are only two rooms so far where she can accommodate people, make sure you phone her to see if she has any place left (on a bed or on a mattress on the floor).
The "hostel" is in a beautiful old colonial house just 10 minutes away from the bus and train station at the corner of Rua de Pigivide and Rua 3 de Febreiro. There's no sign on the door yet, but if you call Helen she'll come pick you up so that you won't have any problem finding the house.
Chimoio is not known as the most exciting or fun of Mozambican cities, but meeting Helen can cure you of this misconception. She'll show you around the surrounding countryside, introduce you to the local farmers or Zim ex-pats, and if you're lucky, get you an invitation to their "mansions" or a free ride to Zimbabwe, Malawi, or northern Mozambique.
