Kiangazi House

Lake Naivasha


This stunning property off the southernmost tip of Lake Oloiden has fine views and captures that old-style feel that so defined the Lake Naivasha region in colonial times. The rooms are arrayed around the main building or in cottages around the gardens. The meals here are also a highlight.
