The Lodge style home offers peace
and comfort with facilities for conferences, seminars and workshops on a small
scale. The overnight accommodation is spacious with ensuite bathrooms for a maximum
of ten guests. Open beamed ceilings, natural woodwork, log fires in the lounges
and views over one of the last pockets of indigenous forest, complement the serenity
and style of Macushla. The private study offers the business traveller a quiet
corner to connect with their laptop or the exercise bicycle - or both?!
The bar and dining room take on an ambiance of intimacy yet have been host to
many a celebratory function and informal business dinner. The food at Macushla
will leave you in no doubt that you are in a private home and not a hotel. Meals
are prepared with the freshest of ingredients with particular care being given
to presentation and simple but wholesome cooking. The terrace and swimming pool
are regular venues for guests to relax, choose a tasty dish from the daily menu
offered throughout the day and evening, or simply a traditional tea with a hint
of indulgence - scones, strawberry jam and cream.
The gardens are left
to natural growth and indigenous flora and bird life. The Giraffe Centre is within
easy walking distance and a short drive will take you to Kazuri Beads Workshop,
Utamuduni Crafts for Conservation and Daphne Sheldrick's orphanage, home to
numerous orphaned elephant and rhino.
Macushla House is a welcome alternative
for safari and business traveller alike, whether overnight or long-term and the
staff, Carrie and Grant, are on hand with that personal touch.
