Bumi Hills has 20 en suite rooms (divided into standard and premium depending on the size and location). The premium rooms are larger both in bedroom and bathroom with a better lake view and more privacy. The lodge is nestled in the natural bush on top of the hills and offers both a cooling breeze and fantastic views of the lake. Dinners are served in the formal dining room or more usually, on the terrace overlooking the lakeshore. A new feature at Bumi Hills is the spa with sauna, steam room, cold water plunge pool, massage tents, relaxation area and sundeck.
