Built by an
English settler
Lord Gaibraith
Cole, it still
retains the
features of
early colonial
homes: a red
brick building
with shady
terraces, an
internal
courtyard,
 paneled walls
and sitting
rooms with a
library and log
fires
The original
building that
has impressive
views over the
lake, houses the
dining and
living room, bar
and conference
rooms. A total
of 33 rooms; 17
twins, 5 doubles
and a triple
room. Chalet
bathrooms with
private shower,
satellite
channels,
telephone,
mini-bar,
in-room safe and
a terrace
overlooking the
flamingo rimmed
Lake Elementaita.
Lake Elementaita
has been
profiled as a Ramsar Site, a
wetland of
international
importance. The
hotels' huge
private estate
now has a
wildlife reserve
stretching away
to the hills. It
is a great place
for guided
walking tours
and as the lake
is home to
Lesser
Flamingos, and
also important
as a stopover
for over 350
bird species it
is worth
including in
your Kenya
birding tour.
