Ndege House- country side
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.

Suluhu House - 4 Bedroom - Naivasha - Exceptional!
The view was absolutely amazing from the deck and the housekeeper so helpful and friendly. The house itself is so unique and rustic - perfect for a nature getaway.

Francolin Cottage at GRVL & Golf Resort Naivasha
We stayed 2 nights at Christian’s place and loved our stay. We utilised the chef Julia for most meals which were exceptional. The golf course was beautiful and so amazing to see the wildlife on the course too!

Wild Wood Cottages
Lovely stay in a very peaceful, quiet location. Mary was very accommodating and let us check-in much earlier during the day.

Olanga House: Beautiful Wildlife Getaway
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!!

The Pink house - 3 Bedroom Bungalow (All En-suite)
Agnes had clear and prompt communication and the house was quiet and clean and welcoming. We will stay here again if we visit Naivasha!

The Butterfly
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!

Mlimani Cottage-Middle of Nature, Great Lake Views
We loved our stay at Wongani's beautiful stone cottage in the midst of a wilderness reserve. The home is off the beaten path, and we were stunned by the beauty and closeness of nature - driving by zebras, giraffes, warthogs, and other creatures on the way up the mountain, plus the stunning views from the home overlooking Lake Naivasha. It was better than we could have expected. The home is perfect for a family, or for a group, with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, a large kitchen and food prep area, and comfortable places to hang out in the home and outside on the patio or yard. It is so thoughtfully designed and decorated too - it felt homey and welcoming. It was truly a special experience spending a weekend there, and we hope to come back soon!
