A beautiful house at a great location with direct sight on the lake. We felt very much home and well taken care of by the friendly personnel that made delicious breakfast for us after having chosen from many options of a menu each prior evening. The place is well protected and there is always someone around. The furniture and decor in the house are of great taste. I found it peculiar and kind of thinking with the forgettable traveller that the room had a variety of different sockets and adapters, which saved me since I forgot my adapter in Kampala :-)

    Due to a late cancellation we were upgraded to a bigger room. It was very clean and comfortable. We liked the communal area, which had books, magazines and games. We loved the veranda - very peaceful to sit looking out at the garden. Breakfast was good - selection of fruit, juice, coffee or tea, toast, butter and eggs however you want them, prepared perfectly by Joshua. We found the location good.
