to get started.

What a great place! Just outside Naivasha town, this is a relaxing place to stay during your time near Lake Naivasha. Amazing rooms and very friendly staff. Not to mention the great pool. I would absolutely stay here again.

Sam, United States of America

Our room was perfect. The bed was very comfy. The hot water bottles was a special touch by the staff

Lunga, Kenya

It's such a unique, charming, and compact, place. A genius concept, really.

Jean-pierre, Kenya

Very good food, thought about details, nice lodges, friendly and professional stuff.

Mykolas, Lithuania

The place is beatiful with a mixture of african setting. The personel was very helpful.

Philip, Czech Republic

The hotel surroundings are amazing. Nice pool, nice villas. Our villa was huge, it had a kitchen, fridge, drinks, two bedrooms with a bathroom each. Very clean and nice decoration and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it.

Luis, Spain

This lodge simple and extremely peaceful. Our chalet had a very pleasant outlook over fields. There were lots of pretty birds in the grounds and it was very pleasant to watch them in comfort from the tables by the pool. The cooking was good, though the menu for residents was limited to two choices for each course. The was a delightful log fire in the centre of the lounge which was linked to the dining room in a high ceiling, traditionally built lodge. The staff were extremely helpful and set up breakfast for us outside on the terrace. Your laundry is done for you free of charge, and your room is kept exceedingly clean. It is about 20 kilometeres to Nakuru National Park, which is a pretty place where you see plains game close to the road.

Dinner. There was no variety of food because there was only rice and chips for two nights. I suggest you include African dishes for dinner as I noticed 95/100 of guests we locals
Accommodation houses were good

The water was cold in the shower, it was freezing in the room because they have no window (only a canvas for mosquitos). There was music until 2am the second night. The bed was not that confortable. I don't expect to be cold in a hotel of this standing neither to take a cold shower. When we talk to the owner, he felt sorry but it did not really help...

“A very pleasant, simple, quiet lodge not too far from Nakuru National Park”
- • Leisure trip

The lighting, in common with everywhere else I have travelled in Kenya, is dire. It may be atmospheric, but it is impossible to read anywhere in comfort. In addition, and this is not the fault of the lodge, Kenya Wildlife, who run all the parks, now only allow one entry during the twenty-four hour ticket. This means you can not go in for an early game drive, return to your lodge outside the park for lunch and come back in for an evening game drive. If you want to do this, you have to pay again each time you enter. Anyone who has done this sort of thing before, will know that there is very little game to be seen in the middle of the day, and it is generally too hot to be enjoyable just hanging around waiting for the evening. If you can only go in once and do stay all day, you are liable to miss your breakfast and lunch at the lodge, which you have already paid for. Kenya Wildlife are getting far too greedy and I think tourist numbers will soon drop significantly.
This lodge simple and extremely peaceful. Our chalet had a very pleasant outlook over fields.

Dinner was disappointing. There is no buffet and they offered very little food. The first night, our main dish was rice with 3 chicken bones (yes, bones) in a creamy source, and dessert was a stone hard muffin. The second night, our main dish was two small lamb ribs with rice. None of us was full, so they gave us each person one more mini lamb rib.
The rooms are of very good standard!! The hotel is very beautiful. And the staffs are super friendly.
