The Space
Planning a family vacation in Nairobi? Whether you're traveling with kids, visiting for business near the UN Headquarters, or just looking for a peaceful place to call home for a few days, this spacious 3-bedroom house in Gigiri offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience.
Nestled in the heart of one of Nairobi’s most secure and green neighborhoods, this home is just minutes from Village Market, Karura Forest, and key embassies. It’s the perfect base to explore the city while enjoying a peaceful, garden-filled retreat.
A Warm Welcome Awaits
As you arrive, a private driveway leads to a large compound with parking space for up to 3 vehicles. A second pathway takes you straight to the backyard garden — ideal for evening strolls or weekend barbecues.
Step inside and be greeted by a spacious lounge area, flooded with natural light from large windows that frame views of the beautifully maintained garden. A fireplace at the heart of the room creates a warm atmosphere, while a bookshelf invites avid readers to unwind. Music lovers will especially enjoy the full-sized piano, making this space feel truly personal and lived-in.
Cook, Dine & Entertain
Adjacent to the lounge is the dining area, a charming space overlooking a vintage-style verandah adorned with African antiques. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for home cooking, including a six-burner cooker, microwave, dishwasher, and a complete set of cutlery and cookware. Start your morning with French-press coffee made in a cafetière.
Whether you’re cooking a family breakfast or preparing a holiday meal, this kitchen has you covered.
Family-Friendly Bedrooms
Bedroom 1: A serene space with a queen-sized bed and garden views – perfect for couples or solo guests.
Bedroom 2: Includes a baby cot, making it ideal for guests traveling with infants or toddlers.
Master Bedroom: Complete with an ensuite bathroom for extra privacy and comfort.
The home also includes a shared bathroom and a guest bathroom, ensuring everyone has plenty of space and convenience.
Lounge + Outdoor Living
Walk further down the hallway to discover a second living room with a flat-screen TV for movie nights or catching up on your favorite shows. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in the outdoors, and a back door opens directly to the garden.
Outside, enjoy a barbecue grill, comfortable seating, and lush surroundings. The garden features a mix of banana and avocado trees, plus colorful flowers, offering a beautiful space to relax or entertain. There’s also a huge mango tree, and the best part is that if you visit between December and March or July and September, you might be lucky enough to pick fresh mangoes right from the tree. For cooler Nairobi evenings, gather around the fire pit under the stars as you unwind and share stories with your loved ones
