Discovering Burch’s Resort: Your Naivasha Retreat

Burch’s Resort ranks among the top hotels in Naivasha for its private lakeside location and family-friendly vibe. Known for direct Lake Naivasha access and wildlife views, it appeals to families, couples, and groups wanting a peaceful nature escape with on-site activities.

Situated on the sheltered southeast shore of Lake Naivasha, the resort lies 10km from Naivasha town center, accessible via Moi South Lake Road. Nearby attractions include Crescent Island (5-minute boat ride) for walking safaris, Hell’s Gate National Park (20km), and Mount Longonot (25km). Naivasha District Hospital is 12km away, with matatus and taxis linking to Nairobi (90km). This spot favors leisure seekers for hippo and birdwatching right outside, while self-driving business travelers value the quiet seclusion away from highway noise.

Business travelers enjoy reliable Wi-Fi in common areas, a flexible meeting lawn for events, serene rooms distant from the bar, and easy highway access. Leisure guests find relaxation by the infinity pool, boat trips to the wildlife sanctuary, fireside dinners, and trails for giraffe spotting.

Standout amenities focus on lakeside comfort: spacious tents and cottages with verandas, hot showers, mosquito nets, and power outlets. Reviews across Google, Booking.com, and TripAdvisor highlight excellent service, friendly staff, and tasty food—especially the fresh tilapia and nyama choma grilled over open fires. Some guests note occasional slow service during peaks or variable Wi-Fi in remote tents.
