About

Highly recommend for incredible views of the lake. Location has changed slightly due to flooding, so check directions. Loved everything about the place, though one visitor was asked to pay more than what was on the menu — confirm prices before ordering.

    Highly recommend this restaurant / bar for its incredible views! The location has changed slightly due to flooding (go to the pin on this map and then follow the signs and you will find it just fine). To get to the restaurant you now go along a bridge on the lake, passing fishermen and (sometimes) hippos, you won’t be disappointed! The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset. We ordered the fish. Enjoy!

    I looved everything about the place.However one thing that seemed weird is I was asked to pay more than what was on the menu for a meal and drink... I wasn't given a bill instead I was asked to send money to a number yet the facility has a paybil...Also,kindly understand the food is being prepared abit far soo when you visit,be patient with the waitresses/waiters. The rooms are beautiful!

    The Hook has a very nice view of the lake...but that’s about it. The service was incredibly slow...it took 25 minutes to get tea, and over an hour and a half to get food. Food quality wasn’t great, especially considering the wait. The owners/managers are sitting on a potential money maker, but don’t seem too bothered about making it one. I’d recommend going for a sundowner before having a meal elsewhere.

    Wonderfully located lounge overlooking Lake Naivasha where you can relax, eat, drink and take in the breathtaking views of the Lake and Mount Longonot. There are boat rides and speed boat rides available too! A must visit place if you are in vasha!

    The view of the lake is breathtaking. The breeze in the evening and at night is something you should look out for. Dress warmly or carry something extra if you will stay til late. Generally, it is a great place to be, we even had a bonfire prepared 🔥.
