One&Only Nyungwe House

Our 7-night stay was exactly what we needed. The property is surrounded by peaceful, beautiful scenery that made it the perfect getaway. Mountain Monkeys provided entertainment playing in the trees. The e-bike rides into the village and forest were a great way to explore the area and connect with nature. We felt safe and welcomed by the locals, and the experiences we had along the way will stay with us. Chef Geraldine’s and her team’s meals were fantastic, with each menu carefully crafted to provide a unique dining experience. We also enjoyed spending our afternoons by the heated pool, where Chance took great care of us with his friendly, authentic, and attentive service. We especially enjoyed the Boma night, where Grace was the perfect host, making the evening unforgettable. Dinners each evening by the fireplace were a cozy highlight, providing a perfect way to end each day. Cedric ensured that the 6-hour journey to and from the resort was smooth, stress-free, and comfortable, making the trip feel easy. Max checked in on us each day, making sure we had everything we needed and helping us plan our days, which was greatly appreciated. The room felt like a home away from home, and Dianne from housekeeping’s warmth and attention to detail made us feel well taken care of. The spa treatments were exceptional—a must-try experience! From the traditional blessing at the start to the chilled bubbly waiting for us on the terrace overlooking the forest. Overall, our stay was very relaxing, luxurious, and peaceful—a true slice of heaven. We look forward to returning!

We couldn't ask for better service, atmosphere or food and wine. By far one of the best places we have stayed in Africa (and we are spoiled) - Yes it is 100% luxury but not pretentious in any way. Vanessa, Jack, Maxwell, Louise, Goodance, Devine and Chance made our time very special and we are already considering another One&Only Holiday

An amazing lodge on a tea plantation. The lodge, amenities, food, staff and anything else I’ve left out are A++++++++. We had a wonderful time and I hope to return in the near future. Truly a home away from home.

We had an incredibly relaxing time at O&O Nyungwe House. We booked via The Travel Whisperer and did a trip which included the Gorillas. The food was amazing here, as were the staff and the views from the pool. Very conveniently located for activities, as we also visited the Chimpanzees, Colobus Monkeys and did the bridge walk. A great spot for some R&R, as well as activities.

Absolutely stunning! Loved every single minute of our stay - the food, the staff, the tours, the property grounds, the activities - everything. The staff were incredibly friendly and showed genuine interest and hospitality. Food was made based on our requirements and no meal disappointed. The room was very comfortable - we wish we could have stayed longer in the room but had planned too many activities! Thank you O&O for making our trip unforgettable!
