Beautiful cottage, classic Kenyan hospitality. The road has been fixed so it is easily accessible. 10/10 overall.

Samara to Cottages are in a great spot by the lake. Such a quiet and beautiful setting. We are looking forward to another visit!

Samawati cottages are perfect for a few days of peace and quiet. The cottages are exactly as described - simply furnished, clean and with everything you need. The team running the cottages are so helpful and want you to enjoy your stay. There is direct access to the lake shore. The cottages stand in a couple of acres with swings for the kids too. It definitely is dog friendly - ours had the time of his life - although be aware that there are geese, goats, horses, chickens etc so take care if yours chases anything that moves! The cottages are a bit tricky to find (part of their charm is that they are a distance from the nearest town) but Elishebah will direct you. We will definitely return!

My family and I had a great time. Very peaceful, and quaint. The kind of place to visit to get away from the hustle and bustle. Elisheba makes a great host and takes personal interest in ensuring all is well and that one settles in well. There's abundant and I should say, tasty water straight to the tap. Plenty of firewood for the fire in the night!

It was excellent

We had an amazing week-long experience at Elishebah’s beautiful lakeside property. It was the perfect peaceful environment to get work done. Being woken up to with the sun shining through the large bedroom window and over the corn fields was an inspiring start to the day. We enjoyed the view of all the farm animals grazing and even got to milk a cow and pick out our own chicken for dinner. The lakeside was a unique open space with hippos and cranes wonderful for walks and kite-flying. Elishebah and her staff were all very friendly and helpful making sure we arrived with the best directions and that we had a warm fire for the cool cozy evenings. Elishebah handled things with grace and a great spirit even when at one point the pipe burst because of excess heat from the fire. She took care of it swiftly and had hot water available again very quickly. Her amazing generosity also showed in that we were upgraded to the larger deluxe cottage. Thank you for everything!

We had a wonderful stay at samawati cottage. The cottage itself is very cosy with fireplace and nice view from the bedrooms and Elishebah is a very nice host ! Rainy season can be tricky for the roads, but the landscape by the lake was really rewarding.

Elishebah was a perfect host. She was there to welcome us, made sure we were comfortable and pointed us in the right direction on things we could do. She is a warm and bubbly personality that makes staying in Samawati all the more enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed walks along the lake with our dog who was made to feel as welcome as we were. Take the boat out to the middle of the lake to see the hippos. Great getaway from Nairobi and tucked away in beautiful surroundings.

This place is spectacular! We had a 3 day retreat with our family and we would highly recommend this place!

Everything was PERFECT! En Korika is even more lovely than in the photos. Every detail of the house was gorgeous. The staff were wonderful, and took such fantastic care of us. The grounds - and especially the gardens - were amazing; it was a delight to pick our dinner from the expansive farmlands. We had an extraordinary time - I plan to stay there every time I am in Nakuru!

This place was beautiful. There was plent you of space for our company retreat inside and out. Thanks

Nic et Rose étaient très accueillants et sympathiques! Notre court séjour chez eux nous ont permis de mieux connaître le style de vie au Kenya. Merci à vous !

Nic and Rose (and baby Ramsey) were absolutely lovely. Nic picked us up from town and was always available if we needed anything. The apartment was tiny but we managed with the four of us just fine. The view was incredible. Thanks so much for having us!

Nic, Rose and Ramsey were so welcoming. WE had a great night at their place enjoying a dinner and a few beers chatting about Africa and the region. They are a wealth of knowledge about the area so make sure you pick their brains if you plan to visit the area. Thanks again Nic, Rose and Ramsey.

Great hosts (family with a small boy), great apartment with a cosy own room, perfect view from the balcony to Nakuru NP, good breakfast, can definitely recommend staying at this place.

Two safaris in a day, what a treat! Sit on the balcony early in the morning, and watch the animals slowly migrate towards you, and the neighbourhood waking up, baboons happily criss-crossing between the two environments. Then head to the national park for the other kind of safari, you driving to the animals. What a day, warmly recommended!

Nic and Rose were a great couple to stay with. They are easy going and made us feel very welcome. Nic played a big part in organising our safari around Kenya and was there to greet us when we arrived late at night. I would consider Nic a trusted friend and he and Rose are both doing some valuable community work. There were 3 of us including a 8 year old boy. We all could relax in our room. We had internet access and a fantastic view of Lake Nakuru during the day. The room was tight for 3 of us but we sill felt very comfortable. Nic and Rose also shared their great local food with us which was delicious. Thanks for everything ... Hope to do it again.

Nic and Rose's home is a nice and quiet place just outside Nakuru town. They have a son who is quite a joy. The place is quite accessible by public means and has quite a view of the Lake Nakuru National park. They are very hospitable, friendly and kind and have good conversation. It is a place you definitely want to stay while in Nakuru.

The second time I have stayed with this couple through AirBnB. They have always been conscientious and generous. Is a great location, and feel very welcome. When in Nakuru, this is the place to stay.

Grace's home is comfortable, and her family is very welcoming. They host guests frequently and are happy to help. I was particularly grateful for being able to share their meals with them, and Emma (Grace's niece) is a great cook. The two young boys are also particularly charming and sweet. Uncle Larmec is a great conversationalist and storyteller. He sincerely cares that you make yourself at home and takes the time to help you with what you need. Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend more than a minute with Grace (schedules didn't match), but I truly appreciated her responsiveness; I had suddenly found myself needing a place to stay at the last minute, and I was lucky that she had a room available. Initially, the house not the easiest place to find, but it is still close enough to the town center. On some days there's no running water, but there is always reserve water in a tank that can be used for cleaning, bathing, etc. (just be mentally prepared in case that happens). Every room has mosquito nets, which is very nice. The house is in a quiet neighborhood -- except for when all the neighborhood kids are playing. :-) The kids are all very sweet and fun. Overall, I would recommend staying with Grace's family if you're looking for a homestay. :-) There may be other visitors also staying at the same time, which is also great for making friends.

We had a great time at her place. Grace was a lovely hos, very helpfull and her food was great. Her husband Lamek and her two little boys were also great and we felt like a part of the family immediately. The place was nice and secure and we felt safe all the time. It was a great stay and I recommend this place to everybody.

Ich habe mich bei der Familie sehr wohl gefühlt. Alle waren extrem bemüht, mir eine schöne Zeit in Nakuru zu bereiten. Morgens und abends durfte ich dort sogar essen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sicher mit zweifachem Tor und nachts auch noch Sicherheitspersonal. Mit einem Tuk Tuk oder Matatu kommt man schnell und günstig ins Zentrum. Ich kann sie nur weiterempfehlen.

It was very pleasant stay with Gracie´s. I heartily recommend this accommodation which is something extraordinary.

Grace, kids and hubby make you feel very welcome. Kids are lovely, thehostsare easy to talk to, its like visiting friends. Grace s a great cook and spoils you rotten. Best bnb ever.wellrecomnended

The stay with Grace and family, her joyful kids and husband was wonderful. Great person, great cook, great guide. Happy to come back anytime :)

We had a wonderful stay at Grace's homestay. She and her family were very welcoming and took good care of us. She also cooked excellent meals, and Lamech helped us a lot with organising a trip to the national park.

It has been great to be at Ross's place. He is very helpful if you need anything and he makes sure that you are comfortable and at ease in his home. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The food that is offered is very tasty and the cleaning service is provided by a nice and welcoming person. The view of Nakuru and its lake in the area is I enjoyed very much my stay and would recommend it to anyone who comes to Nakuru.

wonderful place!!! loved the homey feeling... i was right away part of the family... and the place is awesome up in the hills.... very green and quiet.... above all, Kyle is a wonderful cook

Ideal place for overnighting on a trip out west or if you're looking to explore the caldera and the lakes. Ample parking, large living areas and kitchen. My bedroom was vast and included a balcony. My companion's room was somewhat smaller but we both agreed they were quiet and comfortable.
