Tucked along the B1 Kisumu–Busia Road, just near the Mumias junction, lies one of Vihiga County’s most charming hideaways — Roddy’s Green Lounge. Established in 2010, this eco-friendly resort is a tranquil escape for travelers exploring Western Kenya, offering a blend of comfort, culture, and countryside charm. Surrounded by lush greenery and serene gardens, Roddy’s Green Lounge provides a welcoming retreat for both leisure seekers and business visitors.
The resort features 10 cozy cottages, each thoughtfully designed to combine modern simplicity with a warm, natural ambiance. Guests can relax in the beautifully manicured gardens, enjoy meals under gazebos, or spend quiet evenings during the resort’s theme nights, where local and continental cuisines take center stage. The menu draws heavily on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served with a homely touch that complements the peaceful surroundings.
Roddy’s Green Lounge also stands out for its eco-conscious design, with a tree nursery on-site that supports local greening efforts. Families can make use of the children’s play areas, while culture enthusiasts can take part in guided cultural tours to nearby Maragoli villages, offering insights into traditional lifestyles and folklore. The resort’s location — just 42 kilometers from Kisumu — makes it a convenient base for exploring regional attractions such as Maragoli Hills and the picturesque Ndanu Falls.
With its blend of simplicity, sustainability, and local hospitality, Roddy’s Green Lounge perfectly captures the spirit of rural Western Kenya. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the beauty of Vihiga’s landscapes and people.
