About
A place we built to stay open late
DIPLOZZ started as a restaurant with a garden we could walk through between courses. The rooms came later — eight of them, spread across the main house and the loft above the kitchen pass. We are rated three stars by the Kenya Tourism Regulatory Authority, which means we meet their standards for cleanliness, safety, and service. We hold ourselves to a simpler one: cook honestly, keep the garden tended, and treat guests the way we would want to be treated after a long journey into Kisii.

Guest notes
What people say
"We booked a table on our last night in Kisii and ended up staying two more days in a Garden Room. The beef was excellent; the garden at six in the morning was better."
"Quiet without being stiff. Staff remembered we wanted a late checkout and had coffee ready when we came down. The Courtyard Suite bathtub is worth the rate."
"Dinner felt like eating at someone's home — if their home had a proper wood oven and a walled garden. Flatbread and sukuma wiki were the highlight."
