The hotel is very close to Gisenyi (a short taxi ride away), it has a stunning garden, and incredible views overlooking Lake Kivu. The rooms are superb, and the intricate wood carving on the doors, and their surround, is indicative of incredible skill and craftmanship. Each room has a balcony overlooking the garden and Lake Kivu. The staff were very friendly, and could not do enough to help us. The food in the restaurant was delicious, whilst taking in the views again over Lake Kivu too. We went into Gisenyi, and popped into one of the cocktail bars on the shoreline. Instead of getting a road taxi back, we took the boat back across Lake Kivu to the hotel, via the methane plant along the DRC border. You have to try this. We also took the opportunity to visit a local community coffee plantation which is nearby by taxi. Had a talk on the growing of coffee, saw the coffee beans being dehusked by hand, then roasted in front of us by hand, pounded manually into coffee powder, then followed by a delicious coffee being served. What an experience, and well worth a visit. A must visit, must stay hotel in our view.
