“Great views, nice rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I only spent one night here as part of a group workshop. It is a god 30 minutes off the main road and I think would be a tough drive in a small car when raining. The views are as good as they get and the golf course and hotel make full use of these. My room was a good size (again with a great view), clean and reasonably well maintained. The food was a little bland for my taste (but then perhaps not to most people). The staff were friendly with a good level of service.

Room Tip: There are a number of different styles. Pick the view you want.

“Another Great Weekend at GRVL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

If you want to get away for the weekend and enjoy peace and quiet, outstanding accommodations, great food and one of the best golf courses in Kenya, go to the Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort. The staff are extremely hospitable and their service is first class. The course is challenging and well maintained and the views are fantastic. I am looking forward to going back.

Hello Guest,
It is true GRVL is only 110 Kilometers from Nairobi. It is such a good getaways. Combined with a variety of room types a and an 18 Hole Golf course, you can never go wrong.
Not to mention other activities like Horse Riding, Boating and just chilling in the unit. It is such an awesome place to be.
We are glad you took time to post the feedback.
Regards,
The GRVL Team

“Very pleasant stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

We stayed at the Great Rift Valley Lodge for 2 nights in Dec 2011 as part of our honeymoon, (6 day Intrepid Safari). Our stay was extremely pleasant and the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. I was suffering from illness due to anti malaria tablets and the staff at the lodge did everything they could to assist me and make me feel better. Our room was very clean, and we had a stunning view over the rift valley, The safari guide we had was William and he was very informative and friendly. He was also brilliant at spotting animals (I still don't know how he spotted the lion lying down in long grass from about 800 metres)
Overall our stay at the lodge was really nice and we would recommend it to anyone who is staying around Naivasha. Thank you so much to all the staff

Hello Guest,
To the best of my knowledge this is the only unit in Kenya where you can have the luxury of combining Business and Fun. A Board meeting but a Golf Course available. It is so easy to visit the nearby sites like Lake Nakuru, Crater Lake, Longonot Crater, Horse Riding, Boating, Lake Oloiden etc etc
You can simply not go wrong.
We are glad you came and enjoyed. We look forward to seeing you again.
