Nike Lake Resort in Enugu State is one of the beautiful resorts in the country that offers the visitor or tourist the excitement and relaxation that abound in similar resorts abroad. So, you can save your hard earned foreign exchange by spending your summer holidays in the country this year in this wonderful resort that offers among others a natural lake stretching over 3km with its incredible and rare aquatic population and splendor.
The resort promises wonders and breathtaking views that will beat your imaginations and pamper you to a pleasurable relaxation.
Driving close to the resort, a tourist is welcomed by the natural lake with its mud-coloured water mirroring the whole essence of natural relaxation awash with first class leisure facilities. A deep of your feet into the water (though with caution) will reveal a chilling feeling that will cool off the heat and stretch worn-out body tissues.
For a grand summer holiday experience, paddling on the lake is one thing that will take your mind away from the cares of this life and make your visit memorable. Besides, it makes you feel good and sooths the already aching body and nerves from the pressure of work, very tight business schedules and the bustle and hustle of metropolitan life.
Like a sort-of confluence, a V-shape point on the lake seems to connect both leisure seekers to another point of the lake that flows towards the hinterland of the Agbakpa-Nike community. From there, you will see some local fishermen prohibited from fishing on the side of the resort hunting for fish for commercial and domestic use.
The vast lush gardens, comprising Children Park, soccer field and picnic area will also indulge you. It is really not yet late, but you can still discover this very accessible lake yourself this summer and it may interest you because the ground on which the hotel is built is rich with history: it was used as the headquarters of the Igbo people during the tragic Nigeria-Biafra war.
Besides, a curious leisure buff cannot wait enough to relish on the freshness and hospitality of its rural Agbakpa-Nike setting that is more than imbued with lush and natural landscape that epitomizes ecotourism in every ramification.
Having enjoyed an environment that offers breathtaking views in secured and tranquil setting, you retire into one of the resort’s 210 well appointed and tastefully furnished rooms and suits, suitable for all tastes and budgets.
Every room in the resort, now managed by African Sun, overlooks the well manicured gardens on the lake, and each room provides the comfort and luxury that is expected from an international three-star hotel.
David Kanyandu, the Zimbabwe general manager of the hotel, invites you to dine at the Lake view Restaurant, sitting over 200 guests. Its a sight to behold and one that will induce your appetite.
Of course, he will be in his designer’s sports wear at the various sports facilities such as well equipped gym, two tennis courts, volleyball, basketball court and swimming pool with splash pool for children to offer you excitements beyond the lake.
With an in-house physiotherapist, the massage therapy centre is a cove of leisure.
To make your summer more memorable, the resort offers to take guests to other attractions in the state. A visit to Ohum Spiritual Water Falls, 45km away from the resort, is worth visiting, while the challenging Milken Hill, 8km away, presents a good climbing exercise.
Guests who love city life and art can visit the National Museum about 10 km away to see and appreciate works of art and the artists. The elitists and splendour games lovers can visit Enugu Golf Club; an 18-hole golf course, 12 miles away for excitement while every other guest can take advantage of shopping and banking facilities 10 minutes drive away from the resort. You definitely will find at this serene resort everything you need to make your summer stay a memorable experience.
