NENA HOUSE

"We had such a lovely time at Nena House with Francoise as a welcoming hostess for our travel group of 4 adults and 6 kids (9-16). Being in touch with Francoise while planning the trip was very pleasant and professional. It was very nice she checked out dinner plans on the day we arrived before hand. The traditional houses are a delight, clean and with mosquito nets. The facilities are basic, and fine. The neighbor bar is nice for some festive vibes and a drink. The food is delicious. Eating breakfast in the garden with the beautiful view on the Rwandan hills is like paradise. Francoise is very kind in informing about local walks and in our case we where lucky enough to be there while there was a yearly harvest festival. She offered to go with us. We will never forget the experience of seeing the ceremony and traditional dancing and meeting some people in the village. If you plan a visit or are traveling through Ruhashia (near Kings Palace) we can highly recommend Nenas house!"

"The road towards the accommodation may be a challenge for light weight cars, but -definitely with 4 wheel drives- if you take it easy it is doable and worth it!"

"The views from our room and the garden were beautiful and the breakfast and dinner we had were very good."

"The road to get there would have been very challenging without a 4x4"

"The breakfast was good, and the dinner was so copious that it could have taken us through to the next evening if our stomachs had been bigger. The staff is very creative in compensating to the best for the difficulties arising from the rural setting of the house."

"We loved the quirkiness of Nena House and its interior decor - especially as we had just been at the Ethno Museum in Huye - ....as well as the garden, its peacefulness, the views and the birds. Nice to have crepes for breakfast, (but please offer honey/lemon, but choco spread?!!) The 4 kms of road to Nena House was not a bit rough, but not as bad as expected - which made it more of an adventure."

"Personally, I would have liked better bedside lighting in the bedroom... it was a bit too dark for reading. It was a bit of a hassle paying as Nena House does not have Internet so we could not use a bank app and had to pay in cash - which then meant agreeing a rate of exchange for USD - but we managed in the end."

"We had a lovely stay at Nena House and wish we could have stayed longer than one night! We were met by Everest who checked us in and fixed a small problem we had been dealing with before. He's an awesome guy and took us to the little bar next door to mingle with the locals. The grounds of Nena House and the rooms are lovely and well-maintained. The toilet and shower were a little rustic (of course! Look where you are staying) but they were clean and easy to use. After a wonderful breakfast, we had to leave so didn't have time to explore down by the river or go on any local hikes. I recommend staying for longer than one night! Last thing- the google maps location is accurate, not the booking.com location."

"A little gem between Nyanza and Butare. Run by Françoise, a very nice lady who also took us for a walk in the country side. The facilities are basic (no running water, no wifi), but very well done and clean. The accommodation is spacious, cosy, and set in a lovely garden with beautiful flowers and birds. Well recommended!"

"Original huts with beautiful interior and very spacious. The toilette and bucket shower (hot water included) were easy to use. The food was especially good and the view and garden was wonderful. The service was very good and communication easy. The road to the hut is absolutely okay as long as you have an elevated car with four-wheel drive. We would have loved to stayed longer than one night."

"The garden was beautiful and peaceful, the accommodation was spacious, artistic and quirky. the staff were very nice and the food was good"

"The most important thing is the access. BEWARE !! The problem is the booking.com app shows the location by the road, and that is why I chose it. But in fact its several kilometers away down a very bad track. I had a Toyota RAV4 and managed to ground it once in a rut. I know this isn't the fault of the guest house which was great. But they need to make sure the location is shown accurately on booking. com"

"Authentic experience and overall unique concept. Beautiful views and relaxed vibe."

"This is a magical place to experience Rwanda. The road can be a little difficult but managable. We stayed with our family in the cosy houses and made wonderful memories with the children of the village. The dry toilet and bucket shower add a rustic touch to the experience in the comfortable and spacious cottages. The best part of our stay was the wonderful host Francoise and friendly staff. It made the experience truly unique and memorable. We went back a second time because we enjoyed it soo much."
