The Lake Naivasha Country Club is located on the opposite shore of Lake Naivasha from the town of Naivasha, Kenya.
Built using old colonial architecture and opened in 1937, Lake Naivasha Country Club provides accommodation in rooms and cottages across 12 hectares (55 acres) of green lawns shaded by mature acacias and fever trees. The public rooms also display the British colonial style. The residents' lounge has a massive fireplace and large bay windows. The bar adjoins a snooker room, for playing billiards in the British tradition.
Views across Lake Naivasha are dominated by the shadow of Mount Longonot, 2,777 m (9,111 ft), a partly extinct volcano which, in 1983, was declared a Kenyan national park (52 km²). Mount Longonot also can be seen from the eastern escarpment on the scenic highway to the region.
