Spent 2 nights in Sunbird Lodge just after Christmas, as an interlude between two safari camps. I was travelling with my mother and we both found Sunbird Lodge delightful. Very intelligently designed so that it provided creature comforts while fitting in beautifully into its surroundings. Very simple menus (limited choice), very well cooked. Friendly service. Difficult to fault. And only... More

Spent a couple off nights at the Sunbird Lodge at the weekend. It is very good in so many ways but disappointing in a few. Located 1km or so from the main trans-Kenya highway, it is screened from the noise by a bluff creating a beautiful oasis of peace. The views are magnificent with the west facing aspect capturing wonderful... More

We stayed there for new year's eve and couldn't have asked for more. If you're looking for a quiet place, look no further. The owner took great interest in the guests (myself and four friends) and made sure we were taken care of. The dinner and breakfast were great - I can highly recommend the crepes for breakfast. The view... More

We fell in love with this place immediately on arrival. Panorama views of lake Elementaita from pretty much anywhere on the lodge! The rooms are large and nicely decorated. There is a large terrace with a couch, table and 2 hammocks. From here we could sit and enjoy a cold beer and the stunning views after a day full of... More

We visited Sunbird Lodge at the beginning of a 2 week safari in Kenya. The location is amazing with fantastic views over Lake Elemetaita. Food, accommodation and service were all excellent and the lodge owners were great hosts who also came to our rescue and were extremely helpful when our onward travel plans faltered (nothing to do with Sunbird Lodge...

After a brief overnight stay in Nairobi this was our first stop on a 2 week safari in Kenya and Tanzania. On arrival the views were striking, breathtaking views also from our terrace of Nakuru..and it was striking how quiet the place was...that was until it got dark. We went to bed around 10 as we had travelled from Europe... More

Dear Redrobin, First of all thanks a lot for your comments. We very much appreciate your feedback. On that particular night we were also hosting a client who had his birthday and - without our knowledge - partied in his cottage which was located just above the one you stayed in. The watchmen should have noticed this situation and should... More

My husband and I spent a weekend in May at Sunbird Lodge and we absolutely loved it. The grounds are simply gorgeous as they offer stunning views of Lake Elementaita. The cottages are very clean and decorated with taste...I especially loved my time in the hammock on the terrace overlooking the lake. The swimming pool is picturesque with stools rising... More

We stayed here at the end of a safari break as a spot to relax and a base for visiting Nakuru National Park. This is a great small, independent hotel. The rooms (each a separate cabin with veranda overlooking the lake) are lovely, views of the lake are wonderful and the staff fantastic - always smiling and nothing is too... More
