ROOMS & SUITES

Our rooms

The Lookout Point

Perched at the very top of the Retreat House, this room boasts an unparalleled 360 view of the lake. Its bright breezy feel and African themed decor makes it a consistent favourite for visitors to the Bay. At this height the noise of the waves and birds become more of a background hum, giving the room a peaceful ambiance with a stunning backdrop, especially during sunrise and sunset. It’s an ideal vantage point to watch the local fishing boats passing by, as well as flocks of exotic birds flying below. Even the bathroom embedded into the corner of the room has a spectacular view, with the lush green Namiryango island to the south standing out against the blue of the lake. Ideal as a romantic getaway for couples, or for solo travellers wanting a unique experience of Lake Victoria.

Amenities include: Queen size bed with mosquito net, chairs. Inbuilt en suite bathroom with a view.

Previous guest’s favourite aspect: “You will get fit on the stairs up to the room, but the view is absolutely worth it! In fact, you may not want to come back down.”

Cottage upon the Lake

This secluded cottage at the tip of the peninsula is one of our most popular rooms. Cross a small bridge to escape to this unique double bedroom situated on Lake Victoria itself, as a stand-alone island. With a 270 degree view of the water you will have exceptional views of  sunrise/sunset, local birdlife, and passing fishing boats. Surrounded by the sound of gentle waves and the chattering of birds, you feel totally immersed in nature, and won’t fail to relax in this idyllic location. 

Amenities include a small kitchenette, fridge and kettle. Queen size bed with mosquito net, en suite bathroom. Desk and sofa. 

Previous guest’s review: “a very romantic spot completely separate to the rest of the resort. An ideal private getaway for a couple or traveller wanting some peace.”

The Bird Hideout

This secluded guest room is tucked away at the side of the Retreat House. It has a peaceful veranda overlooking a steep rock garden which trails down to the lake. For this reason it is a favourite spot for our birdwatching guests, with the overhanging trees attracting a diversity of spectacular East African birdlife. It is also enjoyed by guests who are simply looking for a tranquil and private location set back from the lake. So if you want an idyllic hideaway vacation, or you’re a budding ornithologist, we would highly recommend this room.
