KarenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I had a wonderful month in this gorgeous property. The interior design and quality of bedding are both worthy of mention. Jenni was the perfect hostess and the staff working there couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. I will definately be back! Thank you for the warm welcome and great experience.

Barnhouse Container Cottage in Tigoni

KaterinaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We stayed here for a week. It’s a peaceful, secure, and beautiful place to stay near Nairobi, nestled among tea plantations. The house is very spacious and has many rooms with well sound-insulated doors. The living room area is cozy and comfortable, as well as two lounge zones. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the outdoor kitchen is a huge-huge plus. The Starlink internet is fast and stable - it was crucial for remote work, like in our case. The hosts are wonderful - proactive, friendly, and genuinely caring. They truly want to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
A lush garden is surrounded by various indigenous trees, creating a serene atmosphere. Neatly trimmed hedges and well-kept plants complement the vibrant green lawn, with a sheltered outdoor sitting area visible at the side, inviting relaxation in a peaceful setting.

Ideal for UN Expatriates.MOSS Compliant .BLUE ZONE

MarianneRating, 5 stars14 months ago
Elizabeth’s place was a perfect get away spot for our family! Elizabeth was also very responsive and willing to help us solve any issues. We loved the house and the grounds were peaceful and very well maintained. The kids particularly loved the swings and slide out in the yard. The area is not far from the forest so the energy was quite calm, but it did feel far away. It’s easy enough to get around with an Uber, but not very walkable. If you’re looking for a calm, safe and peaceful getaway from the bustle of the city, do not hesitate.

Self Contained Modern cottage in Runda

DavidRating, 5 stars5 months ago
The guesthouse was well laid out, with comfortable chairs, various beds and effective hot water. The internet was excellent. Having a dedicated washing machine and clothes line was very much appreciated. George and Edwin were wonderful hosts. The compound is quite secure and peaceful. It did not take long to get used to the roosters crowing and on Sundays, the choir of the church off to the north could be heard singing uplifting hymns and songs. Access through the front gates was easy and the address is well recorded on the maps for online deliveries such as Uber Eats or Glovo. Similarly easy to organise ridesharing. The location provides easy access to Runda, Gigiri, Village Market, Two Rivers and beyond. It is also close to Kiambu Road for quick access in either direction.
A dining area is set with colorful tableware, surrounded by wooden chairs. In the background, a cozy living space is visible with a green sofa and a modern television. Bright yellow walls contrast with the earthy tones of furniture, creating a lively atmosphere.

Scenic cosy cottage available now

AlexanderRating, 5 stars16 months ago
We had a great stay at Jo's cottage. Everything was as described, and Jo was very responsive and helpful. Property supervisor Christopher who lives nearby is lovely and helpful, too. The only confusion we had when finding the place resulted from the pin on airbnb not being in the right spot (which matters because there's no actual address). This should be an easy fix. Overall, great value--highly recommended.

1-bedroom cottage with private garden

NicoRating, 5 stars42 months ago
Wonderful cottage in beautiful grounds, recently renovated with a great new bathroom. Delightful hosts who made sure we were right at home. It’s a peaceful green part of town that feels almost in the wild, but right nearby Nairobi’s best restaurant and next to stunning new distillery Shagalabagala. Highly recommended and would definitely come again.
A spacious sleeping area is highlighted by a bed draped with sheer white canopy curtains. Natural light filters through large glass doors, revealing a view of the garden. A small wooden table and chairs are situated nearby, complemented by a colorful woven rug.

Ole Chalet - country living at its finest.

ToriRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My friends and I had an INCREDIBLE time at Ole Chalet. It’s a beautiful home and Judy the chef was AMAZING. We had such a great time we asked if we could stay for another night and they responded quickly and were happy to have us for another night. Honestly the home was so cute and clean. We love the porch, comfy couches and all the books on the shelf. We were going to Kitengela one day but it’s worth getting away to this lovely retreat for a few nights. I seriously wish I had found this place 6 years ago when I moved to Kenya because I would have made this a regular retreat location. To be honest it’s a bit of a hike and the route is not the easiest… but once you get here you’ll be glad you made it. It was perfect!
