Kiira Cottage, Kedong, Naivasha

SarahRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My friends and I ushered in 2025 here. It was a really good place with amazing views of fireworks. The bonfire was always lit and the jacuzzi always hot! Not ideal for more than 4 couples though (unless you don’t mind being in each other’s space). The chef did a fantastic job! 👌

Sunny N Wild Holidays

JohnRating, 5 stars16 months ago
I had a family visit to the facility, and it was one of those memorable vacations. No surprises as everything worked as it's supposed to. The rooms, AC, kitchen, and Internet were all on point. The location is breathtaking from the pool, poolside relaxation, gym, and, more importantly the private access to the beach. The Ola Ola restaurant was also affordable, within the bigger compound, and on point with Swahili Cousine. You don't even have to struggle with utensils..time better spent at the beach. A place to just visit and experience the wonderful side of Kenyan Coast. Dr. FIfi was also very helpful and a great host. Kudos.
A welcoming entrance features a black-framed door opening into a cozy interior. Lush greenery surrounds the entrance, providing a natural setting. The patio area offers a glimpse of terracotta tiles and decorative plants, enhancing the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Popo House - eco beach house , quiet , private

KittisakRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My friend and I celebrated a birthday here and stayed for five nights. It took us a little time to adjust, but once we did, we had an amazing and high-quality stay. The Popo house was perfect spacious, well-equipped, and featuring a big pool and a fully functional kitchen that we made great use of. Popo House is located on the sunrise side, allowing us to wake up early and enjoy breathtaking sunrises. Every morning, we could walk down and watch the local people working on their seaweed plantations, which was a unique and fascinating experience. One of the highlights of our stay was the two incredible dogs, Millie and Poppy. They took care of us throughout our visit, providing both companionship and security. At night, they would bark if they sensed unfamiliar people, yet they were so well-trained never entering the house uninvited or stealing food. They were truly polite and loving, and saying goodbye to them was the hardest part. Overall, we absolutely loved this place. It’s perfect!
