Guest reviews
"Our two families stayed for three nights at The Studio and The Dairy. We were warmly greeted on arrival and the wonderful hospitality continued throughout our stay. There was delicious food to buy locally if you needed and always someone on hand to ask questions if necessary. The houses were very comfortable and definitely lived up to our expectations. We would thoroughly recommend anyone to visit this very special place if they can."
"The Studio is a wonderful gem on the shores of Lake Naivasha. We were surrounded by birds and animals the entire time, and the staff took very good care of us when needed. The space is stylish, and the kitchen well equipped. Be sure to get some fresh veggies from the garden!"
"A beautiful weekend getaway. The house is so colourful and stylish! And the animals grazing and walking around is the cherry on top. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. We loved our stay and will definitely come back."
