Courtyard Room

The quietest rooms on the property, set around the inner courtyard where the pepper trees hold the shade all afternoon.

Ground floor, which here means you step straight out. The terrace holds two chairs and a low table, and it faces east, so it takes the morning sun and loses it by eleven — which is exactly when you want the shade.

Inside it is cool stone and dark olive timber, a king bed that can be split to twins, and shutters rather than curtains. The bathroom is walk-in, with a rain shower and Kenyan botanical soaps made up in Nairobi.

These are the rooms we give to guests staying a week, and to anyone who has just come off the Nairobi road.

Ready when you are

Rates change with the season and with how many of you there are. The quickest way to a firm number is the booking form — or the telephone, which is quicker still.

Nothing is charged online. A reservations host confirms every booking by telephone, usually within two hours, between 07:00 and 21:00 East Africa Time.
