The lodge is situated on an expansive piece of property that Rtd. Bishop Enoch Kayeeye bought way back in 1964, and this land was formally occupied by immigrants. Majority of the area’s natural surroundings and huge eucalyptus trees were preserved by the bishop who maintained the land till 2017 when the lodge was set up.
