About

The heated pool, guided riverside walk, and homely rooms make this tucked-away Nanyuki spot feel more like a retreat than a hotel. Raymond, Tony, and Jennifer in the spa are standouts, breakfast portions are generous, and the trails nearby are safe and scenic. Book for longer than a weekend — you'll wish you had.

    My preferred place every time I'm in Nanyuki. An exceptional stay from start to finish. Outstanding service, warm hospitality, and great attention to detail. Truly exemplary in every way—highly recommended! A big shout out to Raymond, Tony and Jennifer (Spa Lady) for wonderful services.

    We had a quiet/ chilled out & wonderful stay at Olesamara! It’s a little hidden gem tucked away from the Nyeri–Nanyuki Highway, offering peace and privacy. The paths and trails nearby are lovely and safe for a walk, including a scenic riverside path. Breakfast was delightful and the location is very convenient — just a 7-minute drive from the Nanyuki airstrip and close to other nice spots for food. A car is recommended to explore the area comfortably. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

    "Had a great 2-day stay at Olesamara, Nanyuki 😍! Located just a few meters from the main road, it's super convenient. Rooms were clean, service was top-notch, and the baby pool was a lifesaver . If tents aren't your thing, check out Lavender, Fushia, Gardenia, or Jasmine accommodations - lovely! 😍 Food was really good too. Flexibility is a plus - kitchenettes in rooms and free room service for tent guests. Nature lovers, there's a therapeutic trail down the river with a guide available. Special shoutout to Raymond, Betty, and Maggy - super hospitable! 🌟 Highly recommend!"

    There are lots of cute little details in the decor and some nice landscaping with little lakes near the gate and restaurant. I found the food not so flavourful personally speaking (dinner and breakfast). Good for a night if you want to relax: comfortable bed and the hot shower was working well.

    We visited this hotel to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. It was raining when we got there, and the staff thoughtfully provided umbrellas from the car to our room, such a lovely gesture. The room was beautiful, clean, and very homely. Our meals always arrived on time, with generous portions that were incredibly filling. We also enjoyed the heated pool; it was relaxing, well maintained, and not crowded at all. One of the highlights was the guided walk to the river. Our guide was patient, knowledgeable, and happily answered all our questions, making the experience even more memorable. We only stayed for the weekend, but we truly wish we had planned for a longer visit. We will definitely be back!
