Serene & romantic with a view, north lake Naivasha

AmmarRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This place is magical. It’s beautiful and comes together in a wonderful way well beyond what you see in the pictures. The surroundings are stunning and it has the awesome feature of being both completely open while being private. Holly is friendly and easy to communicate with. The only thing I would do differently would be for everyone to stay at least 2 nights if not longer to really be able to enjoy the place.

An inviting sitting area is showcased, featuring a white daybed adorned with turquoise cushions. A large window offers a view of the lush greenery outside, allowing natural light to brighten the space.

Kuro Cottage - a hidden gem, peaceful & central

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful spot near the lake within short walking distance to take a boat to Crescent Island. Ruth was really helpful and let us leave bags and check in a bit early. The fresh milk from the cows next door and the friendly dogs were a great bonus.

Honeymoon Hut - Romantic Rustic Luxury!

BerylRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kevin’s BnB! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The space was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had such a warm and welcoming vibe. Kevin is a fantastic host—thoughtful, responsive, and clearly passionate about making his guests feel comfortable. Every detail, from the cozy bed to the little touches around the house, made my stay feel special. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant getaway!

Crescent Island Fish Eagle Cottage

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

There were three ways in which our stay on Crescent Island all of our expectations. 1) Akira was in constant touch with us keeping us updated on which roads were clogged, warning us of the chaos created by a Safari Rally. 2) Living on the island is like living in the garden of Eden--a giraffe joined us for lunch on the porch. 3) the spectacle of feeding the amimals was unlike anything I have even seen.

A charming outdoor seating area is showcased under a covered porch, featuring wicker chairs adorned with patterned cushions. Neatly trimmed shrubs and flower beds line the pathway, enhancing the green surroundings of the cottage.

HI HOUSE

JustinRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We loved our time at this house. The house is simple, but well-setup and designed. This is one of the few houses that seems to have screens on the windows so that you can leave the windows open to enjoy the breeze and not have to battle mosquitoes! We loved that you could walk down the driveway a couple hundred meters and be right at the lake and watch hippos and birds. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

We had a lovely stay - a very beautiful outlook onto the lake where lots of game came to eat and drink. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The welcome basket of goodies was a nice addition! Loved our stay and would totally recommend it. Thank you for having us!

Off-grid+Pool+Bonfires+Pets @ Elwai Visitor Centre

ZipporahRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is a beautiful, serene space, and we truly enjoyed our time there. Waking up to the stunning views of Mt. Longonot and Lake Naivasha was a highlight, and the afternoon swims made it even more special. It's conveniently located—not too far from town and close to local attractions—yet peaceful enough if you just want to stay in and relax. There are plenty of games and activities on-site to keep you entertained. The hosts were also incredibly warm and welcoming and they actively anticipated our needs. I would definitely love to come back!

Manjano Studio Apartment near Buffalo Mall

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 85 reviews6 months ago

This was a steal. I have stayed at many Airbnbs around the world in the past 5 years and this is one was an excellent experience. Ruthy was an incredible host, always responsive, and would send you reputable drivers at any time if asked (bolt/Uber are a little tough in this location... there are only 3 bolt drivers in the area, although Charles is a good one). The studio itself was perfect - a powerful gas stove that I used everynight to cook dinner and I would get fresh eggs and veggies from the stand right in front of this apartment to cook an omelette every morning. internet: I am a digital nomad (teacher) and the Internet worked fine for my classes. It tested at 13.2 MBPS download and 13.2 MBPS upload, which sounds slow but surprisingly it worked fine for my job. location: a very "gritty" neighborhood, which may or may not be your thing. Safe though, I walked around alone at midnight without issues. A nice mall and supermarket are a short walk or moto ride away.

Savannah Villa Naivasha, Moi South Lake, Kedong

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviews3 weeks ago

This place is absolutely beautiful 😍 One of the very few places that can accomodate such a large number of people. The house is beautiful, the grounds are spacious and having the pool makes it a hit with the kids :) The team on the ground is ever so helpful and they make sure to always ensure you are comfortable. Mama Davis adds charm to the place as she is so warm,welcoming and helpful (she even came to us to the lake to help us buy fish for lunch and gave us kale and sukumawikii from her garden :) ) The surrounding area is also just out of a dream...Lake Naivasha on one side and Mt Longonot on the other... I spent hours on the balcony sitting just admiring the views. The pool is in an open area, so a few insects and bits of soil are inevitable. The team spends hours cleaning it, but nature always finds a way back. Think of it like swimming in a lake—just relax and enjoy the experience! (don't envision it like the clean pools in enclosed building za nairobi )

Ol-Popongi Camp, Kedong, Naivasha

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviews5 months ago

We were absolutely blown away with this place! The staff were amazing, the chef, John, was 10/10 (some of the best food we ever had), the grounds are so beautiful and peaceful and the rooms were amazing! Maina, the manager, was always there to help us with anything at all and he also arranged for a local driver, Simon, to bring us to the camp from the Masai Mara, as well as transport us around Naivasha for our various activities throughout our stay and finally drop us off in Nairobi on our last day and Simon was 10/10 as well! There are lots of things to do nearby and Isabel and Maina were great at communicating before the trip to make sure we made the most out of our time there. The only complaint we had was that we didn't stay long enough!!

Betty-Debs Farm House Near Hells Gate N. Park

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviews3 months ago

This house was perfect for our family. It is spacious and homely and in a beautiful location. It is not all glitzy and new, but has simple character. A lovely veranda, and a hippo in the garden one night were charming elements. Our hosts were kind - offering us a complimentary meal at their restaurant and a free trip back to the house after dark to avoid trouble from hippos . Agnes also arranged our transport from Nairobi with her delightful daughter Beatrice. We didn't have a vehicle but hired bikes to explore the Hell's Gate national park, very close by - a great day out. The best view of the lake is from Agnes' Fisherman's Camp restaurant where we spent a wonderful evening, that I think I will never forget. The atmosphere was beautiful as dusk fell over the lake and the hippos appeared. We feel very blessed to have picked out this property from among dozens available in Nairobi and Naivasha just a week before arriving. We really had no idea what to expect, but got the very best!

Infinity La Casa

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews6 months ago

The house is located in a silent, calm gated community, located among flower farms in Karagita. The house corresponds to the description - nice living room and dining area. The host and the gouvernant are very kind, proactive and ready to make things easier (upon request, they found a cook and a car repairer for us). Really, the stay was amazing, and we were very positively impressed by the proactiveness and kindness of Roseline and Faith.

We booked this spot last minute & Ann was very welcoming & responsive. The cottage was so spacious & clean. There was 10 of us on this trip so space was necessary. Each room had its own bathroom & there was hot water for showers & towels available. The grounds are beautiful which made our short stay magical. The staff were so friendly & welcoming. We had dinner at one of the restaurants which was buffet style & everyone was pleased with their meals. Overall an enjoyable stay, we were sad to leave but we’ll be back again for sure. Thanks Ann & Staff at GRVL!!

Rustic Retreat - GRVL & Golf Resort Naivasha

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews4 days ago

Lora was a responsive and proactive host for my family. She even sorted out a chef for us for our stay. Her place was exactly as described and lovely for a family getaway not too far from the city. We also managed to catch some zebras and antelopes right from the house which was great especially for the kids. Would highly recommend.

Ndege House- country side

GinnyRating, 5 stars26 months ago

Clementine and Fred were very helpful. Clementine's cooking was great, the grounds are very well kept and a nice place to take a walk. There were several nice places to sit outside and lots of nice areas to sit and talk inside. Shiku responded quickly each time I emailed and answered all my questions.

Olanga House: Beautiful Wildlife Getaway

ERating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Alicia’s house is beautiful, extremely tasteful and serene. The beds were fantastic, the sheets delicious and the kitchen was beautifully stocked. Alicia’s team - Sophia, Isaac and Paul - were wonderful as well. They supplied us with plenty of firewood, smiles and guidance. The game drives were incredible and we even saw an awesome hyena and jackal conflict on the drive way in. Perfect home and setting - we’ll definitely come back. Thank you!!

A comfortable sleeping area is featured with a spacious bed dressed in white linens and towels. Soft curtains frame a bright window, while a wooden wardrobe adds storage space, enhancing functionality in the serene environment.

The Butterfly

JulieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Marc’s place was perfect for our multi-day stay and group of 6 (plus 1 toddler). The house is situated in a beautiful, private compound north of the lake but within an hour drive of most activities. It was a great launching off point for daily adventures, yet was remote, peaceful and restorative at the end of the day. The house was spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. Caroline and Benter also helped to make our stay special— and left us feeling grateful and full after the delicious meals. Thank you, Marc and team! We can’t wait for our next visit!

An aerial view captures two cottages nestled among lush trees, with distant hills and mountains forming a serene backdrop. The expansive landscape suggests a tranquil environment, ideal for privacy and relaxation amidst nature.
