From Bulawayo centre take Hillside Road, which becomes Burnside Road, then becomes Douglasdale Road. 4.5 KM turn right off the narrow tar onto the gravelled Criterion Road, at 11 KM National Monuments sign indicates Old Bulawayo on the east and the Indaba Tree on the west. At 11.5KM park your car for the Jesuit Mission, short walk of 0.5KM to the site of the Jesuit Mission.

The Jesuit Fathers reached old Bulawayo early in September, 1879, and were received by Lobengula, eventually obtaining permission to stay in the country and establish a Mission. A Greek trader, Mr. Griete had established a store and trading post on this spot. On 26 November 1879, he sold his store and house to Father Prestage and the Jesuits for £500, a lot of money in those days, for the purpose of founding a mission.

The roofless stone buildings are still fairly intact and are the oldest remains of a European built house in Zimbabwe. Their builders, the Jesuit Fathers Depelchin and Croonenberghs, lived here and entertained Lobengula to tea in the centre room of this little cottage.
