Lake Naivasha: soggiorni in cottage

Great location close to the lakefront as described. Also there is Carnellys restaurant nearby. Check-in was smooth and the host was responsive. We enjoyed the brunch at the garden area. Overall good stay! Thank you.

My friends and I ushered in 2025 here. It was a really good place with amazing views of fireworks. The bonfire was always lit and the jacuzzi always hot! Not ideal for more than 4 couples though (unless you don’t mind being in each other’s space). The chef did a fantastic job! 👌

The house and grounds are gorgeous, old atyle colonial feel. Beautiful views, lots of space, very safe. Roof leaked a little with rain. Workers were awesome. Great place for a family reunion.

We enjoyed a quiet, peaceful weekend at the Butterfly Cottage. The view of the lake was spectacular! Marc was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

Our stay in Lynn's place was absolutely wonderful. All the place was really cozy and spacious. Bedroom was for sure much bigger than it seems in pictures and also really cute with all the lights. Shishi Wanjiku made our stay really special. She was so nice and she made us the best dinner and breakfast, which we had during our trip on Kenya. We made a fire in fireplace and enjoyed our food. It was truly amazing experience there. :)

Lovely setting, good range of cooking utensils. Flexible timing, comfortable. Easy walk to the lake, secure parking. Walking distance to Carnelly's resturant.

Le cottage est très bien situé et parfaitement équipé pour passer quelques jours. Eunice est très réactive. Lit très confortable et localisation parfaite pour un séjour aux alentours de Naivasha. Nous nous y sentions tellement bien que nous sommes restés une nuit de plus.

Great Stay, very peaceful and quite surroundings. Amazing views from the room. Host was very kind and gracious.

Cosy home right on the highway just in case you're using public means and still quiet once inside. The rooms were all ensuite. Our host Wambui was very helpful together with the chef Juma at an extra cost but worth it. The pool is beautiful and the bonfire and mbuzi choma were great. Carry warm clothes it gets cold at night. I would stay there again.

A lovely, spacious cottage, ideal for two people. The care taker is super helpful with hands-on support in the cottage as well as logistical advice and support. The only drawback is that the cottage is a little far away from town, and pretty much anything so having a vehicle on your own is advisable, else you'll need taxi, matatus and a fair bit of walking (which I personally enjoyed, but it might not be for everyone). With that being said, the place is a great base for exploration of Lake Naivasha and around in a quite area

The shower heating was the best,the mattress very comfortable..we needed time away from the busy Nairobi Noises and pollution..At Victoria gave us that and more,initially we’d planned to stay for just one night we fell in love with the hidden gem and automatically we added the second night..we will definitely recommend Olmakau lake Naivasha and perhaps come back again..5* to the well equipped and high standard kitchen

El entorno es idílico y el Manager nos ayudó para llegar en todo momento. Nos acompaño a dar un paseo por la finca y estuvimos a cm de cebras, etc. El baño y la cocina muy muy bien, la única pega que el tent no está completamente aislado y entran varios insectos, aún que echamos spray, no nos libramos de alguna picadura de mosquito. No obstante, todo muy bien. 100% recomendable.

Great place to explore Naivasha and Mt Longonot. The house and the area are amazing, and very quiet. This is a great place to disconnect if you are coming from busy Nairobi. The house has everything you need to spent few days and relax

We had such a wonderful stay at Emara Cottage! It’s the perfect weekend getaway, set in the most breathtaking surroundings. The cottage and rondavel suited our family perfectly, providing both comfort and charm. A big bonus for us was the airstrip within walking distance, making our trip even more convenient. Thank you for a truly lovely stay—we will most definitely be back!

Awesome nature and property. The steam sauna was a wonderful surprise.

Lovely cottage exactly as shown in the photos. The compound is quite beautiful too. Visited with family and would come back again. Good proximity to the places we planned to visit and of course to Naivasha town. Marvin is a great and helpful host. The staff were helpful too. Shiku the chef is pleasant but her food was bland.

My family had a wonderful stay. Daisy was an amazing host and very responsive, she even got us complementary charcoal for barbecue! We regretted booking for just two nights...we will definitely be back!
