Haile Resort Ziway is a four star resort in Batu, the town on the west shore of Lake Ziway. The lake is about 160 km south of Addis Ababa, on the road to Hawassa and Nairobi. Haile Hotels and Resorts, the group of the runner Haile Gebrselassie, runs it. It is the first lake stop on the Rift Valley road, so it works for one night or as a break on the way south.
What to do
The resort has two outdoor pools, a spa with a sauna and a gym. Lake Ziway is known for its birds and its hippos. Boats from the town go to the islands on the lake, which have old monasteries. Lake Langano and Abijatta-Shalla National Park are further south on the same road, close enough for a day out from the resort.
Rooms
Rooms are in a low building by the pool and the gardens. Twin rooms have two single beds with mosquito nets.
Dining
The resort has a restaurant with Ethiopian and international food.
Meetings
The resort has a conference hall and takes company meetings and group stays.
