The lodge, now a luxury hotel, was formerly Kekopey Ranch built by English settler Lord Galbraith Cole. The front of the hotel, a large terrace, overlooks Lake Elementaita and the hotel's huge private estate, now a Wildlife Reserve, stretches away to the hills.
The interior of the hotel is colonial in style with a sitting room with library and log fires, panelled walls, and an attractive dining room and bar.
The lodge has 33 twin and double rooms, each with private bathroom, in newer "cottages" nestled away in the lush flowered garden behind the house.
