This is a hidden Gem. The resort was well thought out. If you are looking for a peaceful yet luxurious place to relax, stop over, etc, this is the place to be. The rooms are so spacious, the beds are super comfy, and the shower is a die for. All the spaces are spotless. Thank you, Kevin & and Elizabeth, for your exceptional hospitality skills. The service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the portions were so generous. You made our stay so special. This is our new home away from home. We will be back!

This place is simplicity at it's best. The staff, Lucy and Janet, were both helpful in every way possible. Sometimes even going out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. The meals were delicious and the compound very clean. The place was very quiet and so serene that you feel part of the environment. Amazing for a one-two day getaway. Given how close it is to the lake, the experience of staying here will only get better if they trim the bushes and trees to have a better view of the lake.

Getting to Gilgil is not very easy especially on Fridays...

Getting to Gilgil is not very easy especially on Fridays evening because of the traffic at the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway. If using personal, I recommend you leave Nairobi by noon. It will be a smooth sail. Nyama choma and grilled chicken are what you should order when there. The grill masters over there rearly miss on those options. Fun activities would be visiting Lake Elementaita and strolling around.

The hotel itself is located just past Gilgil town off the main highway and therefore easily accessible. It is just right accross lake Elementaita and the view is great from the hotel. Nakuru is also roughly 30 minutes drive away and therefore one can visit Nakuru National Park and Menengai crater without much of a hassle from here. There are also excellent Restaurants/hotels located not too far from here and on the scenic hills if one wants to explore Gilgil further. It is a surprising Gem. However, make sure to carry everything you need as there are no major supermarkets around.
