Overview

A Farmhouse
by the Water

Loldia House sits on the shore of Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya's oldest working farms.

Loldia House occupies the shore of Lake Naivasha beneath a grove of acacia trees, on one of Kenya's oldest farms. The original farmhouse holds an en-suite master bedroom, with three guest cottages and two lake-view suites set around it in classic country-house style — four-poster beds, antique furniture and fireplaces in some rooms. Days can be spent on the lake by boat, on horseback, walking the grounds or driving to Hell's Gate and Lake Nakuru, and dinners are a formal, four-course affair in the traditional dining room.
