A small, considered hotel in Gisenyi — rooms with a view, a kitchen rooted in the region, and the kind of welcome that comes from being family-run.
Twenty-two rooms across three categories, each one with cross-ventilation, a hot shower, and breakfast on the terrace. test
Our restaurant looks straight onto the lake. The menu is short on purpose — fresh tilapia from the boats that come in at dawn, isombe, brochettes, and a drinks list built around East African coffees and a small but careful wine list.
Open daily 06:30 – 22:30. Guests can charge food and drinks to their room — settle one bill at checkout.
