The stay
Malu is a forest retreat near Naivasha with cottages, family accommodation and a riverside Treehouse. Fireplaces, verandas, estate dining and outdoor activities shape the stay.
Malu is a small country retreat in a private forest reserve near Naivasha, with accommodation spread between hillsides, gardens and river settings. The appeal lies in time outdoors and a choice of distinctive cottages rather than a uniform hotel-room layout.
Family Villa has two en-suite double bedrooms, while Mahindu House has four bedrooms, including a children’s room with three single beds. The Treehouse has two en-suite double bedrooms and a children’s annex.
Fireplaces, verandas and generous living spaces feature across several categories. Mahindu properties and the Treehouse offer kitchen facilities, while the restaurant serves an Italian-style set menu using produce from the estate. A spring-fed plunge pool, walking, riding and mountain biking are among the advertised activities, with access and suitability dependent on conditions.
For Nobu, Malu suits couples, families and friends who want a countryside pause around a Rift Valley journey. Choose the actual cottage before arranging meals and transport between facilities.
