Amazing view. Such a beautiful place! Amazing staff. Gladys and Daniel are doing everything to make you feel home and comfortable. Peter the cook is also an amazing guy who prepares lovely food and is totally flexible with his menu for example with providing vegetarian options!

I had a 4x4 so the rougher gravel road with a lot of potholes was OK.

Fairy tale location with scenic tea plantations all around, great walk with a guide Daniel.

Maybe sometimes it get‘s a little bit cold in that area, so be prepared.

It was just stunning. It is not easy to come there but it’s worth the effort. Stunning view in the middle of the tea bushes. The Lodge also has tours to offer for a very low price. And the staff, WOW, they were just amazing all over. We loved it there and felt home in the first second.

View, the friendly staff. And most of all peace and quiet

Where do I start. Driving to the hotel can be very daunting unless you have someone to take you, or you arrange a pickup. It is a fair distance from the local town and can be expensive with the local taxis, but later I can see why. However, there is a Local car Matatu service that cost around 300 shillings per person, that takes around forty minutes, the driver seams to know everyone and stops for on route chat with tje locals. The drive is ruff road not tarmac, but givem wjere tje hotel is, is understandable. The owner is very happy to get one of those drivers to meet you at a location in the town, ie outside Family Bank. Once you eventually get to tje hotel your see its all worth the trip. How they managed to buid this hotel up in the middle of knowwhere beggars believe. The weather is different there and can rain alot, but the sun soon pops out randomly here and there, and can rain without warning, it gets hot as well. The staff at the hotel were fantastic, and tea and coffee was awaiting our arrival along with a cosy wooden lit fireplace along.with our dinner when we wanted it. We arrived late and it was dark. We were led to our rooms and asked for an extra duvet as it was a little chilly being so high up. The room was adequate with a electric shower and comfortable bed. The morning was raining very hard. But cleared up to reveal a stunning view from our balcony . I just could not stop looking at it. the tea farmers were busy collecteing the leaves. Breakfast was anything that we required from omelette/ sausage /toast to fresh fruit. There were plenty of local tours available at a very reasonable price. Our tour guide come security guard was only too eager to take us anywhere we wanted to go. From fly fishing trout on the local river, to the famous Abadare Forrest. Or a local tea plantation tour, even if we wanted to visit the famous tree tops.

Nothing that much to do for longer stays apart from possibly hiking, for those looking for more to do. I enjoyed my quiet stay there.

Loved the size of the room (very spacious) and has a balcony. The room has a nice view of the valley and tea plantation. It is quiet and the food it good! Nice surrounding area to walk around with beautiful views.

It is not the best spot for solo travellers since it is very quite, however I really enjoyed my time there!

I had a lovely time, the room was Nice and affordable and there is enough activities to do. I had the best time hiking to the waterfall. The staff was lovely and so helpful and the food was amazing. The views are stunning as well.

Nothing

Hands down the best and freshest food we had in our two week journey through Kenya. Locally farmed chicken, fresh vegetables and tea farmed just behind the property.  This is not your usual holiday destination. Its in the Kenyan highlands and we didnt see any foreign tourists there which made it even more special. We had a huge suite with 2 double beds. The hotel is locally ownded and managed. The Kenyan highlands are an agricultural paradise, fresh fruit and vegetables and miles and miles of tea plantations. The weather is cool and the scenery stunning. We stayed here to access Abedare Park but the closest gate was inaccessible and we had to drive 50 miles away to Treetops Gate. This location is worthy of a visit, the Chinga Dam is very picturesque. The staff, Rose and Peter the chef are fantastic and a real credit to the hotel. Will definitely visit again.

Bedroom and bathroom. Sitting room was very basic. Some nice furniture would make a big difference.

The location was wonderful. Staff were excellent. Food was good but bedroom and bathroom were small and cramped.

I do not recommend this place if you want to visit Aberdare National park. The park is more than 1.5 hours away (although we were told 45 minutes by the hotel guide) and you cannot see many animals in the park itself, just a few buffaloes and elephants from far away. The falls are great though.

The place is decent; it could be suitable for fishing and hiking. The food is nice, the chef prepared all food based on our taste. The service is good.

It's a rough road getting there though.

The views were amazing and very friendly staff.
