Francolin Cottage is a luxuriously appointed cottage with stunning views located at Great Rift Valley Lodge & Golf Resort, near Naivasha. The cottage comfortably sleeps 7 people with 2 double bedrooms, a twin bedroom and a single bedroom. We offer a choice of self-catering, with a fully equipped kitchen and barbecue to ensure all your culinary requirements are easily met. Alternatively, if you prefer to kick back and relax our Chef David and Housekeeper Judy will make sure that your needs are taken care of. Fine dining is also available at the Great Rift Valley Lodge a short walk away. Enjoy the luscious garden and the wildlife that visit. Dik Dik, Impala, Bush buck and even Zebras enjoy browsing in the garden and our bird table attracts attention from colourful Lovebirds, Francolin’s, Ibis’s, Guinea fowl and many others. Later fire-up the barbecue and enjoy outdoor dining or chill with a Bluetooth Speaker, free Wifi, and a Smart TV with movie channels and Live int'l Sports events. On colder nights, get comfortable around the fireplace before retiring to the super comfortable beds all fitted with Egyptian cotton sheets and duvets.
Hi, I hope you have a wonderful stay at Francolin Cottage, I can't be there to meet you personally our housekeeper Judy will help you find everything you need to ensure your stay is a perfect one.
Great Rift Valley Golf Course & Resort Lake Naivasha Restaurants including The Ranch House aka La Pieve, and Camp Carnelly's are definitely worth a visit although the journey can be a little arduous
