The host, Susan, was very professional and her house is just as it is in the photos: Magnificent. We even extended our stay. I highly recommend it. Important to note, she referred us to Catherine of Le-Chef Consultancy Jinja ( +256 758 082251) for my birthday cake . The cake was very yummy. I highly recommend her as well. Abdul of Boatride Uganda and Safaris Ltd (+256 754 355123) also did a good job of taking us round and guiding us on fun activities like Zip lining along the river Nile, visiting the source of the river Nile, tubing along the Nile, horse riding etc. Our stay was truly awesome and memorable 👍🏾😎.

Although it’s off the beaten path a bit, it’s well worth the effort to find this gem. The property is simply beautiful and the rooms are spacious. The staff is superb, the owners live on site, and they accommodated our every wish…including serving two special dinners for us and our friends from Jinja. It was like having a private chef.

Breakfast was wonderful every single day. They accommodated our need for breakfast earlier in the morning than their normal service time. We had something slightly different every morning with beautiful fresh fruit and fresh pressed juice. Dinners were wonderful, we had so many variations of chicken or beef that were just exceptional every time.

    Due to a late cancellation we were upgraded to a bigger room. It was very clean and comfortable. We liked the communal area, which had books, magazines and games. We loved the veranda - very peaceful to sit looking out at the garden. Breakfast was good - selection of fruit, juice, coffee or tea, toast, butter and eggs however you want them, prepared perfectly by Joshua. We found the location good.

    Beautiful setting, comfortable room and facilities, great staff. Everything is kept very clean. The breakfast is okay, simple omelettes or pancakes. It also serves food during the day /evening which is convenient. The location is probably too far to walk into Main Street in the heat, around 10-15 mins.
