Family Traveller · Nairobi

We brought the kids for Easter weekend, spacious rooms, warm staff, and that farm-to-table dinner was unforgettable. The nyama choma and fresh veggies tasted straight from the shamba. We'll be back!

Perfect escape from the city. Cycled the countryside trails in the morning, worked by the fireplace in the afternoon. Great WiFi and total peace. Uncle Bob's nails the rustic-modern vibe.

Every corner is Instagram-worthy! The cottage light at golden hour, the goats, the valley views. I got my best content here. Staff were so kind and helpful throughout our stay.

As someone who travels all over Kenya, I can say the hospitality here is top tier. Clean, quiet, and the hiking trails are amazing. Full board is worth every shilling.
