Absolutely beautiful, we stayed for two nights as part of a two week holiday to Kenya . It has a real colonial vibe . 20 mins to the beautiful Aberdare NP ( Ark gate ) We stayed in the accommodation called ‘The Nursery ‘ huge rooms , wonderful bathroom . Three beds ! The grounds are fabulous with plenty of wildlife ( we also did several game drives into the National Park & often the only jeep there ! Abundance of animals & birds ) our special thanks to Francis for the nature & bird walks within the grounds , so accommodating & so knowledgeable. Dominic at reception was a great guy & so helpful . We enjoyed the buffet style meals , the food was excellent, we were on a full board package . Thank you to David N head of restaurant for all his help & information, Sarah & Jackline for the impeccable service , every member of the staff is a credit to the establishment. We loved it . Look out for the troup of black & white colobus monkeys that frequent the grounds . The smallest antelope the Suni is also here plus impalas. Spectacular views from the terrace . We did see the Ark ( sister hotel ) in the National park too . Loved the NP so quiet in comparison to Masai Mara & Amboseli where we had come from . Loved everything, would love to return one day . Thank you

“Comfortable stay”

We were plesantly greeted by singers and with optional donation they invited you to dance with them. We stayed in duplexes. There were many optional add-on options such as onsite or offsite game drives or golfing. Driving in or walking along the grounds we saw warthogs, deer, peacocks, zebras, ... more

There were many optional add-on options such as onsite or offsite game drives or golfing. Driving in or walking along the grounds we saw warthogs, deer, peacocks, zebras, dik-dik and antelopes. The outdoor pool was too cool to try. It was a nice surprise to get a hot water bag at the evening turn-down service.

“Perfect spot for lunch”

We only visited for lunch on our way to The Ark. the grounds are beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good. A wonderful reprieve from the road from Nairobi. Old world charm and peaceful setting

“Needs some maintenance”

This is a historic location, it is beautiful and I want to support it, but I do need to point out some facts. 1. It is on a steep hillside and travel to your cabin may involve walking up several flights of steep stairs at high altitude. 2. our cabin (25) had black mold on the ceilings in both the... more

This is a historic location, it is beautiful and I want to support it, but I do need to point out some facts. 1. It is on a steep hillside and travel to your cabin may involve walking up several flights of steep stairs at high altitude. 2. our cabin (25) had black mold on the ceilings in both the bathroom and bedroom. 3. The peacocks and peahens that are so pretty during the day scream like a woman being murdered all night long outside your window. No doubt you could get used to this, but not the first night. Otherwise, they will light a fire in your fireplace to warm the cabin, it has cable TV, the bed is comfortable, and it is very pretty.
