About Hippo Point Manor House

Hippo Point Manor House is a private country house built in 1932 with 8 rooms sleeping 14 people. The Tudor style has been completely refurbished to the highest standards, set in a traditional garden and furnished with turn of the century English and French furniture. The rooms are spacious with ensuite bathrooms (all the hot water is solar powered). The house has two dining rooms - one lovely outdoor with a view to the Lake used for long meals since 1932 and a open beamed drawing room with 2 fireplaces, a TV sitting room with a fireplace and library with a great selection of African and contemporary books, which is also the perfect place for kids to have a TV dinner. There is also a large country kitchen where guests can look on or get involved in preparing healthy, delicious food made by Janet, our Kenyan Chef who has been cooking delicious healthy feasts with us for many years.
