A 15 minute drive from Fort Portal town, nestled amongst 3 crater lakes overlooking the Rwenzori Mountains, is the getaway your soul has been longing for. The space is set in 5 acres of beautiful farmland where you can enjoy nature, bird-watching, hikes and crater lake swimming. There is also a labyrinth and a quiet garden for deeper contemplation and rest. Whether you need to recharge your batteries, want space to write or paint or simply fancy a weekend break, this space has what you need.
The space
The self-catering space offers, three quiet and spacious bedrooms, each with their own direct access to the grounds and a couple of small private verandas. The double bedroom is en-suite, while the king and twin rooms share a bathroom. The space offers a sitting/dining area and a simple, well-equipped kitchen. Rooms are full of light, tastefully decorated, offer wonderful views and provide a comfortable, peaceful home away from home.
Rooms can be booked individually and can be viewed here.

The house is completely off-grid, depending on solar for power, so hairdryer, irons, toasters and electric kettles should not be used. The kitchen has a three-ringed gas stove and no fridge, however, a cool box with a supply of ice blocks can be provided. Pantry essentials include: salt, pepper, tea and ground coffee.
Fort Portal town offers markets, supermarkets and a few restaurants, some of which offer takeaway.
Due to the location, mobile phone reception is weak and the WiFi can be somewhat temperamental. Power for charging phones, camera batteries and laptops is available in the rooms and the sitting/dining area.
Please respectfully enjoy your stay, keeping in mind the quiet location.
Guest access
There is ample parking on the property. Please note that due to the remote location, the roads to the property can be a challenge in the rainy season. For a small fee, I am happy to arrange a pick up and/or drop off in Fort Portal for you. Alternatively, boda bodas (motorbike taxis) can be arranged for transport into or from town.
Other things to note
I live in the upstairs part of the house, so I am available to answer any queries you may have and am more than happy to help with information about what the area has to offer.
