    broken kitchen
    musty smell

    The cottage was poorly equipped with a broken kitchen element and no essentials like a kettle or coffee maker. We frequently dealt with loud noises from cleaning staff during the day, which disrupted our privacy and relaxation. The musty smell and damp bedding.

    The location is STUNNING, the staff is excellent co-operating, and the hotel is pretty. The restaurant serves delicious Indian food. Think it's best Kampala's place to stay.

    As we remember, there was no signal.

    lush garden
    leaky shower

    A peaceful oasis amid chaos

    The lush garden surrounding my cottage was amazing. I felt transported every morning while sipping my coffee outdoors, soaking in the serene ambiance that felt miles away from the bustling city.

    Unfortunately, the shower had leaks that needed attention, which disrupted my otherwise wonderful stay. The maintenance staff seemed overwhelmed with requests, leading to some delays.

    outdoor dining
    lush garden

    serene, serene, serene

    Imagine waking up to a lush garden filled with trees and chirping birds! The outdoor dining area was a dream where we enjoyed delicious meals, especially those massive breakfast spreads. With access to a fabulous swimming pool and friendly staff were really nice, I seemed like I was in a special getaway!

    strongly recommend 💖🌿

    I truly enjoyed airy room with biscuits and the garden, as example, and very very helpful and attentive staff. The above average breakfast had good choice of meals and the food I tasted was amazing.

    There was signal to be added.

    garden seating
    city view
    staff responsiveness

    great amenities but minor service issues

    The garden seating area was like an oasis. I enjoyed working outside on the patio, where the power supply was handy. The meal portions exceeded my expectations. The city view from my chalet added a nice touch to my stay.

    The staff's responsiveness could use improvement.

    A Charming Retreat in Kampala's Green Oasis

    Arriving at such a tranquil hotel reminded me of stepping into another world. The lush landscaping created a serene environment. I particularly enjoyed relaxing on the balcony with a coffee, despite the missing cups. Service was attentive, and I appreciated the delicious pasta dinner enjoyed al fresco with friends. Just be aware of steep stairs if you stay in the chalet.
