Cherrynam Resort, located on the outskirts of Nakuru, is quickly growing to become a popular destination for residents looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
The resort is owned by former President Daniel Moi’s Press Service aide Lee Njiru, a consummate journalist, who also worked for the late Jomo Kenyatta.
The hotel offers a variety of services such as garden wedding venues, team building, seminars, and picnic grounds.
In a recent interview with Nation, Njiru revealed that his journey to becoming a hotelier began in 1990, when he opened a bar and butchery in Nakuru Town’s Racetrack Estate.
He later closed the business and began construction on a facility with the intention of establishing a school, which he named Lenro Academy.
However, after a year of running the school, he closed it and began remodeling the facility into a hotel in 2012.
“I saw the potential for growth in Nakuru and knew that with the number of small banks popping up, there would be a need for a place for employees to relax on weekends,” he said.
The resort is located on three acres of Njiru’s 25-acre farm.
There is a garden next to the hotel where you can order breakfast, food, and drinks to be delivered to your room.
The resort’s rooms are well-tiled and furnished with sumptuous canopy beds that provide a warm ambience while also providing privacy.
A portion of the farm has been converted into a helicopter landing zone, complete with an airport lounge and a designated fueling area.
Those who land on his farm, on the other hand, have a special separate restaurant where they are catered for.
For those who prefer tranquil, serene settings, the resort provides a respite from the noisy and congested atmosphere of busy urban centers.
The hotel, which has 25 rooms, provides a variety of services, including garden wedding venues, team building, seminars, and picnic grounds for organizations and businesses to organize and de-stress.
