We wanted a quiet place with a great view of Mt Kenya, where we can spend time as a family and just relax - we got this and much more - the wonky house concept is thoughtful and tasteful: The furniture and fittings were of top quality. Hot water always available - both for the shower and in the Kitchen. The bathroom was also very clean and with the best of fittings. This is usually one of the most important part of any accommodation. The kitchen was equipped with everything you ever want. Apart from fridge and microwave, there were blenders, toaster, all sorts of cutlery and pans - lots of knives lol, a water filter/cooler and the cooker was also a top quality gas cooker. The interior design was excellent and you just love to be surrounded with just tasteful design. Sleep was good, with warm blankets and they also provided us with hot water bottles. The bedroom, to the delight of my kids has lots of board games! We played cards, cluedo, chinese checkers etc. This was well time spent together. We had lunch at the porch with a view of Mt Kenya. Just brilliant. Mike, the caretaker has been great. He's responsible, smart and helpful. He kept the kids busy (when we wanted some space). He also organized for some stuff to be brought from the grocery store at the main road. The kids say they already miss him as they had a good time with Mike. He stays behind the Wonky house so is literally on stand by in case of anything. The wonky house give a great farm house experience as there was sheep, a cow and various crops growing, giving the kids experience on how crops are grown and they also spent time with the sleep and cow as they asked 100's of questions Mike was happy to answer. We're got a full day of clear view of the mountain yesterday - I've lived in Kenya 40 years and never got such a complete experience of living around Nanyuki/Timau. The Wonky house is quiet close to Mt Kenya. We enjoyed and got the experience we were looking for!

Mukima manor .. one of the best places I ever stayed in my life, the house is very classy and rich of history, I was impressed with the beauty on every corner it’s well arranged. I have enjoyed every moment in the house being in the middle of the nature surrounded by flowers, birds and beautiful views. The staff are so nice , they were taking care of all the details and very friendly , I was alone in my visit but I never felt bored they even helped me with the trip arrangements and booking with the best tour guide. The food was really delicious and tasty , I enjoyed every meal that I had. All the moments that I had in Mukima house were unforgettable and for sure it won’t be my last visit.

Penguin House was perfect for our needs. We needed a place to stay right before our Mt. Kenya hike, and this was perfect! The staff were fantastic and helpful, and the rooms were comfortable and clean. Highly recommend!

Epic experience, amazing customer service, clean rooms, a generous portion of the breakfast. Will totally come back next time and will recommend anyone to visit.
