One of the two back verandahs where guests can relax
We have purposefully created a place where people feel at home and feel as if they never left their own home. We also support a lot of the local artists and display a lot of the art from the region, most of the art on display is for sale. Our vegetables and produce are all sourced from local organic farms and as much as possible try to offer a truly eco experience. We have become well known for our Lebanese breakfasts and unique middle eastern cuisine.
Both my husband Peter and I have travelled extensively and have over the years stayed in places that have either been 5 star copy and paste hotel rooms with the same old same old! or somewhat in need of some TLC. This is when we decided to open our own place and try to create an experience for all our guests
We are in the elegant suburb of Kitisuru close to the UN in Gigiri, Nairobi and the major embassies, and all major shopping malls (Village Market, Westgate,Sarit Centre etc) we are also ten minutes by car from Karura forest where you can take walks of 5,10,12KMs.
