Overview
Hellen, the landlady, is most committed to European standards of professional housekeeping which is a reason why so many of her guests keep coming back to her place when they travel in Uganda or come to the capital Kampala for business.
She speaks English and some regional African languages. Her son knows some German.
Most of the guests are international, mainly from Europe and many of them come with their families.
What they all have in common is the appreciation of the high standards of security, the peace and quiet, the wonderful garden and the unique view on the huge Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria.
The large variety of birds coming to the well-kept garden inspires a truly exotic atmosphere and makes it a paradise for birdwatchers.
The Guest House is located off Entebbe Road, about halfway between Entebbe and Kampala up on the beautiful hillside of Kitende.
There are four bedrooms and a living room with a verandah for the guests.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
