Local materials have been used in the construction, furnishings, and interior decoration.

Each guestroom is tastefully fitted with 2 queen size beds, a closet, a large dressing table, an en-suite bathroom with a shower stall, and an open-air veranda that overlooks the waterhole.  The architecture blends in with the area, to keep up with the style of the housing by the local Samburu people.
