Cottage holiday rentals in Naivasha

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. :)

We had a very nice stay at the lodge from Eunice. We came came with 4 adults, a baby and 2 dogs. There was so much space for the dogs to run and for the baby to play. The accommodation was really well equipped for our group. And the last night, we got even a visit from a hippo. Super nice! Thanks Eunice, for your hospitality. And thanks Rose, for preparing the accommodation. We hope to see you again!

My friend Anna and I stayed for one month and a half at Eunice's and couldn't have been more satisfied with this apartment. Eunice answered messages extremely fast and solved any issues (e.g. with the WIFI) within a few minutes/hours upon request. She is also very friendly and has become a good friend. The place is clean, cozy, safe, and situated well. It is pretty central in Naivasha town, and nonetheless remains quiet and peaceful.

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

We had an absolutely glorious stay at Olmakau being a family of seven. Beautiful house with very tasteful decor. Green lush garden with avocados, papayas and monkeys. Victoria was so helpful despite my many questions, gave us recommendations, helped us book activities and offered us a later checkout We had a chef cook us dinner and breakfast, highly recommended.

Fantastic place to be for the long weekend. Our stay was lovely and John was very friendly and response whenever we needed him.

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!

Such a resourcefully and creatively plotted little property. I couldn't believe how much the place offers and how homely and locally they went with their decor. Can't wait to visit again in the future.

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.
