I stayed in one of the villas for a week and honestly, it was better than I expected. The rooms are really spacious and clean, and I liked that it had everything - from a fridge to a microwave. It felt very private and peaceful. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Mbarara.

The food was amazing! I tried the local dishes and they were fresh and full of flavor. You can tell the chef knows what they’re doing. I also liked that I could choose to eat outside on the terrace -it was quiet and relaxing.

The staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. They helped us with our bags, showed us around, and made sure we were comfortable. It’s rare to find service this good these days.
