Guest house for vacation
A small, charming house with a cozy garden and a flowery veranda. It has two bedrooms, each with very large and comfortable beds. The place is clean, and a helpful security guard is available. There is hot water, and the kitchen is equipped with essentials such as a microwave, fridge, kettle, gas stove, and more. Conveniently located close to the city center and the market, yet nestled in a quiet residential area. I highly recommend it.

Ideally placed on one hectare of land with a beautiful slope, the lodges have a breathtaking view of Lake Kivu while maintaining the necessary privacy. Built in natural materials (wood, lava stones, traditional bricks, ...), the lodges offer a space of well-being. The 60 meters of connection to the lake Kivu, with its two beaches, create a feeling of infinity and tranquility.
