Idyllic Lake Naivasha Retreat in Green Park

A haven of peace and natural beauty, Makuti Cottage is set within the serene confines of a 5-acre Green Park estate. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Naivasha, we offer a restorative escape, ideal for those seeking quiet and solace. Get captivated by daytime lake views, while unwinding in our solar-heated pool, surrounded by wildlife including zebra, waterbuck and impala. Leleshwa House is a sanctuary for peaceful reflection and intimate moments with family, friends, or colleagues.

This cozy cottage features two inviting bedrooms (one ensuite), each designed with total luxury in mind. There is a comfortable living room with a dining space, a functional kitchen, a guest bathroom, and stunning views of the Great Rift Valley and Lake Naivasha from the balcony. A private outdoor dining area and barbecue grill accompany the cottage, and an evening fire in the fireplace is part of our service.

Four guests can be comfortably accommodated with two people sharing each bedroom. There is a sofa bed option for an additional fifth adult and a crib available for toddlers. Beds have a “hotel feature” allowing them to be zipped together for your choice of a king-sized bed or two separate singles per room. Inquire about our food service options, which range from barbecue packages to full-service, farm-to-table fine dining.

Makuti Cottage shares an exclusive five-acre estate with our sister properties Leleshwa House and Buffalo Lodge, which are also available on airbnb. The cottage is yours exclusively, as is a private outdoor area for dining, cocktails and socialising. Our swimming pool is also available to other guests.

Makuti Cottage is inspired by the standard of five-star service that guests have come to expect at the most luxurious safari lodges around Kenya. While those who prefer privacy can book a self-catering stay, we offer food service options that range from barbecue packages to full-service, farm-to-table fine dining. Our staff are available to cater for every need, including housekeeping, turn-down service, a bon-fire, or drinks and hor d'oeuvres. We are pleased to offer suggestions for nearby activities including nature walks, horse riding, golf, or other activities at the Great Rift Valley Lodge.

With its gorgeous setting paired with well-equipped facilities, our estate is the ideal location for events ranging from small weddings to corporate retreats. Leleshwa House has a first-floor lounge that accommodates 18 participants and comes complete with a large-screen TV for presentations, a flip chart, and a printer. Contact us to discuss your needs, whatever they may be. We can do the heavy-lifting to make your make your celebration, conference or retreat as easy to plan as a resort vacation.

Please note: while we welcome celebrations, we maintain a culture of tranquility and ask that guests respect our 'reasonable noise' policy to preserve the serenity of the environment. Outdoor music is not permitted.
