Claire- owner was absolutely delightful & extremely accommodating. The guest house is 2-3 minute walk to Lake Victoria. Literally right around the corner. Several excellent restaurants within 5 minute walk - i can recommend garden thai. Delicious. ##### cheryl ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann 29 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bird lovers should flock here Waking up from a quiet night's sleep on a comfortable mattress with spotless sheets and walking out to sit on Claire's veranda to bird watch each morning was the highlight of my day. A hamerkop, bulbuls and mousebirds (among 10+ other types) came to visit while storks, pied kingfishers and even African greys flew by. A monkey on a neighboring roof was seen too. All this nature, yet five minutes walk to the lakeshore lined with restaurants and less than 15 minutes walk to the Carrefour. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B0E395965F7659231CE0B1A81D04679D4D3541B91640799689152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ann Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gordon 24 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing introduction to Uganda (again).
