About

The manager creates a genuinely homely atmosphere, the fireplace is lovely, and the staff sang happy birthday to a guest unprompted. Rooms are clean and spacious with a traditional vibe, though some past guests had issues with moldy bread and missing breakfast.

    I LOVED LOVED LOVED the manager, she created such a homely atmosphere. The fireplace was such a lovely place and the staff sang happy birthday to my friend, which was such a nice treat. The rooms were good and clean. Overall 10/10 experience!!

    Unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Rooms didn't comply with booking. Breakfast was not included although it is clearly stated in the reservation. The staff apologized for serving moldy bread but didn't offer any solution. The owner didn't care about our complaint at all. The room was badly maintained. The entire impression was bad and ruined our stay.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing stay at The Great Circle Lodge in Nanyuki! The location is perfect—peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to town for convenience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with a cozy and homely feel. I especially appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, which made my stay even more convenient. The restaurant serves delicious meals, and the Full English breakfast was a great way to start the day. The outdoor spaces are beautiful, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy, from hiking to cycling. It's also a great place for families, with a playground and lots of space for kids to explore. Overall, The Great Circle Lodge is a fantastic place to relax and unwind. Whether you're visiting for a getaway, business, or a stopover before exploring Mount Kenya, I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back!
