We stopped here for lunch on our way to Tsavo. The staff were all very welcoming and it was a lovely place to stop. We were surprised that it was so peaceful as it it right on the Mombasa Road but we heard little traffic noise. On our way back from Tsavo we stayed here overnight. We were warmly welcomed back and shown to our lovely room. Wow. It was beautiful. It had a balcony at the back overlooking the lake and it was fun watching the monkeys there. The room had a huge four poster bed with a very very good mosquito net, plenty of pillows and was super comfortable. There was lots of storage and a lovely sofa too. The bathroom also was very big and with lovely toiletries. The one downside was the saloon style swing doors to the bathroom so no privacy while in there. They really need to change those especially as the toilet is in there! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent for dinner as was breakfast. There were tea bags and a kettle in the room but no coffee! Bit difficult if you don't drink tea! I did ask for some but think the request got lost in translation and hot coffee arrived next morning. (which was very welcome anyway) The grounds are lovely and there are a lot of monkeys and baboons around. There is a big swimming pool but we didnt use it, There's a bridge over the lake which is quite bouncy but fun. Overall we enjoyed our time here and it was a good break on the trek back from Tsavo to Nairobi.
Very Good
