About this apartment rental
On a private tea farm with full Chania River frontage beside the Aberdare Forest Reserve, this 3-bed, 2-bath cottage sleeps eight and puts hiking, fishing, birding, and tranquil views on your doorstep.
Set on five acres overlooking the Aberdare Forest Reserve and the Chania River, Kimakia Tea Cottages 1 offers a secluded, nature-forward escape in Kiarutara, about two hours from Nairobi. Guests consistently highlight the scenic setting and easy access to forest trails, riverside spots, and abundant wildlife. Self check-in with on-site staff keeps arrivals simple.
Inside, the cottage is designed for practical comfort: a spacious kitchen with fridge, gas stove and oven supports self-catering, and two bathrooms with instant hot-water showers ensure smooth morning routines. Three bedrooms are configured for flexible groups (king plus bunk in one room, two singles in another, and a queen in the third), and the lounge adds an additional sofa bed.
Outdoors, explore river paths, picnic spots, and the wider tea estate. Evenings gather around the outside fireplace and barbecue area. The property borders the Aberdare National Forest Reserve; guided hikes, birding, and trout fishing can be arranged (a local licence/fees may apply). A 4x4 is recommended for the final 1.2 km of steep dirt road, especially in the rainy season. Pets are welcome.
This is an authentic highland base for relaxation or active days in the forested foothills. Add your dates to secure this guest-favourite stay.
