The Studio
The Studio is a quirky, one-bedroom sanctuary designed for solo travellers or couples seeking a unique, contemporary retreat. The space blends modern architecture with traditional Rwandan textures, creating an intimate sanctuary that feels deeply connected to the lake.
The open-plan layout features a small dining area, a sunken bathtub, a kitchenette and a Queen bed, opening onto a private pink terrace with outdoor seating and a small balcony—the perfect spot for volcano watching. A unique highlight is the bathroom, which opens into a secluded outdoor shower, offering a private way to connect with the landscape. Whether you are here for a focused creative retreat or a quiet escape, the Studio offers a peaceful, self-contained space with a character all its own.
❋ One bedWake up to breathtaking views: the Queen-size bed directly faces the volcanoes and sits right next to the balcony area.
❋ Outdoor showerA guest favorite, the outdoor shower offers views of the volcanoes through a natural eucalyptus fence. Enjoy the peaceful sound of birds chirping as you rinse off in the fresh air.
❋ Open-plan livingDesigned as a seamless, studio-style sanctuary. The bed, dining area, kitchenette, and a sunken bathtub all share one open-plan space, intentionally framed around stunning views of the Virungas.
❋ Self-cateringDesigned for independent stays, this is a fully self-catering property. While we do not provide meals, the equipped kitchenette features an electric hob so you can prepare food at your convenience. If you prefer to dine out, several excellent local restaurants are within easy walking distance.
❋ Wi-FiStarlink Wi-Fi is available at the property for your connectivity needs.
❋ CanoeingComplimentary 2-seater canoes are available for your use, whether you want to paddle together or explore the twin lakes individually. On request, we can have them prepared and carried down to the lake for you (subject to availability). As this is an unguided activity, confident swimming ability is required.
Your Arrival.
Your stay begins on the water. We invite you to leave the noise behind at the boating pier, where our team will meet you, assist with your luggage, and take you on a stunning 10-minute boat ride across Lake Ruhondo to the property.
The cost of your boat transfer both ways is included in your booking, and we provide a dedicated guard at the pier to watch over your car for the duration of your stay.
Simply coordinate your arrival time with us in advance, and we will ensure the boat and our team are ready to welcome you. Upon reaching the peninsula, there is a short, brisk climb to the property. While the walk is steep, it is the secret to our unparalleled views of the volcanoes. Our team will be on hand to take the weight of your bags, leaving you free to enjoy the walk up.
