A great spot to relax from busy Kampala City Center. I was here with my wife and one of my daughters (the other one missed the trip because of schooling - please don't tell her lol). We loved the beautiful paradise like scenery, the friendly staff and these incredibly comfortable beds and the cleanliness. Food and service were excellent !!! Though we used this spot as a stop over on the way from Entebbe to Lake Bunyoni, we will consider to stay there next time for more than just a day. This location seems to be very interesting for hiking as it is not as crowded as Lake Bunyoni has become duirng recent years.

Nyore is a real treat - sitting on top of a hill with spectacular views of countryside in day and stars at night, and all the touches of beauty and pampering you can imagine. Everyone there is full of smiles and wonderful. We loved our stay here. Thank you!!
