Karen Gables

A peaceful home-from-home style stay in character-filled Cape Dutch style, sat within lush private gardens. You'll get to know the wonderful owners by name and feel totally at ease in the safe, leafy neighbourhood that's close to fantastic sights such as the Giraffe Centre and the Elephant Sanctuary. It's a cosy yet sprawling property, with plenty of private spots to retreat, many next to inviting pools or within lush, immaculate greenery. The food here is just superb, with a real focus on showcasing the best local product and authentic flavours. We love this spot, and if you're looking for a homely retreat away within easy access to Nairobi and wildlife sights alike, this one's for you.

An peaceful location just a 20 minute drive outside bustling Nairobi and close to the National Park
