Private cottages · Rift Valley views · 18-hole golf
Perched on the shores of Lake Naivasha with the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley as backdrop, Oilepo Naivasha is an intimate retreat where extraordinary nature, refined hospitality, and the spirit of adventure coexist seamlessly. Two private cottages. Three restaurants. Infinite possibility.
Whether you arrive for the golf, the birds, the boat rides, or simply the profound stillness of a lake at dawn — Naivasha will hold you longer than you planned.
Two spacious private cottages, each with a sitting room and fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, two en-suite bedrooms, and a private balcony opening onto our garden and gazebo.
Three unique dining venues — Gemini, Sagitta, and Cepheus — offer an evolving menu of locally inspired cuisine, Rift Valley wines, and sundowner cocktails with panoramic views.
Explore, adventure, engage. Boat rides through papyrus channels, guided nature walks on the lakeshore, visits to Hell's Gate, horse-riding, and access to an 18-hole championship golf course.
Private Cottages
Each of our two private cottages is a self-contained sanctuary designed for long stays. A sitting room with fireplace anchors the open-plan living space; a fully equipped kitchen means you are never beholden to fixed mealtimes. Two en-suite bedrooms open onto a private balcony that leads directly to the Oilepo garden — where a gazebo awaits your afternoon tea.
Restaurants & Bars
Relaxed all-day dining with lake views — fresh salads, grilled meats, and East African flavours.
Intimate dinner venue with a focused tasting menu showcasing seasonal Kenyan produce.
The bar and lounge — sundowners, artisanal cocktails, and a curated wine selection as the Rift Valley turns gold.
What Makes It Special
Wake to one of Earth's most dramatic geological features framed from your balcony — the Rift Valley escarpment stretching to the horizon.
An acclaimed championship course set against the backdrop of Lake Naivasha and the escarpment — for those who like to swing between game drives.
Glide across the lake's glassy surface at dawn, navigating papyrus channels thick with hippos, kingfishers, and fish eagles.
Cycle or walk through Hell's Gate National Park — geysers, gorges, and abundant wildlife, all on foot. The rare African park you can explore without a vehicle.
Guided lakeshore walks reveal giraffe, zebra, waterbuck, and a staggering diversity of birdlife in the acacia woodland.
Unwind with treatments inspired by Kenyan botanicals, in a setting designed for deep restoration after days spent in the bush.
