Momella House, dating back to 1880, has been renovated, keeping its authentic character intact. Romantic, atmospheric and rustic, it is spiced with African accents. Momella House has 3 bedrooms, a mezzanine, one bathroom with shower and toilet, a cosy country kitchen with a 4-burner ‘Lacanche’ stove, and an attractive living space with a dining area, lounge corner and a comfortable woodstove. The ground floor bedroom has a romantic canopy bed with drapery. The second bedroom on the first floor is furnished, also with a canopy (double) bed, as well as two separate beds in the third bedroom. Bedding is available. There is room for 6 people, and an extra child’s bed can be set up if necessary, at no extra charge. There is ample space in the garden for relaxation. On the covered outdoor terrace is a long table with comfortable canvas chairs - simply perfect to be used during a delicious open-air feast! Our large enclosed garden overlooking the lovely Burgundian hills basks in the sun all day long, and has a picnic table where you are sure to enjoy your delicious country-style breakfast.

We first met at a very special spot in Tanzania: Ndutu Safari Lodge in the Serengeti. Robby is a photographer and was travelling annually to Tanzania to work on a photographic art project, in which he is capturing the African animal world in a unique and authentic manner. Marleen was living in Tanzania and was Lodge Manager of Ndutu Safari Lodge, where she expertly ensured that guests were always comfortable. Robby is Belgian and Marleen is Dutch. We have been living permanently at Kimaro Farmhouse (1 minutes drive from Momella House) since 2011. By setting up this property in France, we’ve been able to mix our passions of the great outdoors and Africa into a wonderful cocktail. You’ll notice this in our accommodations we rent out, which are dotted with African accents. Kimaro is a word, which was inspired by the Kiswahili language. KI is a prefix and MARO are the first two letters of Marleen and Robby’s names. Our dream has come true – setting up this Burgundian farmhouse, a heavenly place where you’ll find rest and space. Kimaro Farmhouse stands for quality and authenticity on a small scale.

Momella House is situated amongst rolling meadows. In the morning you´ll be greeted by your neighbours, the Charolais cows, for which Burgundy is so famous. From the property, you can take a small road into a gigantic forest - perfect for a long walk, or mountain-bike ride. Culturally, Burgundy is one of the most interesting regions of Europe and is the wine region of France. Aside from this, Burgundy offers one of France´s most beautiful and diverse landscapes, and where joy and tranquility are king. The picturesque French villages, castles and landscapes in our immediate surroundings will truly delight you.
