Gilgil River Cottage

A secluded cottage engulfed in a private garden, near Lake Elementaita.

Wake to birdsong and a stream winding through a private garden. Inside: an open-plan living space warmed by a wood-burning stove, two bedrooms, and a full kitchen. Outside: a long table for slow lunches, a firepit for evenings, a trampoline for the kids, and a hammock for doing nothing at all. Gilgil sits close to Lake Elementaita, Soysambu Conservancy, and Lake Naivasha, a good base for remote work, slow weekends, or exploring the region.

Sleeps 2–4 · 2 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · BBQ · private LUSH garden
