About

Warm quarters in a laid-back getaway offering 2 restaurants, a bar & a fire pit, plus a terrace.

A 1930s lodge perched right beside Nyahururu Falls, with the kind of old-school, wood-heavy charm you don't find anymore. Rooms come with working fireplaces — a fireman actually builds it for you and leaves extra logs. Grab the masala chips for a quick bite, then take the walkway down to the falls where rare birds gather along the gorge.

    Terrible dinner - We ordered whole kienyeji chicken in 1 hour in advance 1. The chicken was missing pieces. Upon asking the chef he offered no explanation as to why the chicken had no thighs. 2. The sides that accompanied the chicken wa undercooked and sent back never to be seen again. Repeated attempts to see the manager went on deaf years

    Stop over for clean washrooms. We like the masala chips and ice cold novida for a quick snack and enjoy great views of Nyahururu falls.

    Their security charge people after coming into the gate and ask for money when trying to leave without notifying people first that you are required pay before access the facility. This practice is predatory.

    Wonderful place for a relaxing staycation. The lodge is located right next to the falls. Tthe beautiful trees and lawns, together with the logged-interior buildings create a rustic aesthetic. The staff have a professional aura. The rooms are simple and comfortable, with a fully functional fireplace and a fireman who builds the fire for you, leaving a few logs behind for you to add to it when it dwindles, making sure the rooms are always toasty. Their food is up to standard, although they don't have an extensive vegetarian diet, there's always veggie curry! Breakfast and lunch are buffet style but you can always request your preference. The kids playground is kid-friendly with a view of the falls to enjoy. (Ksh.100 per kid) The weather is chilly in the evening and morning (pack your sweaters and socks!) yet sunny in the afternoon (don't forget your sun hat!)
