Ol Bobongi House - Welcome to Our World | House in Nanyuki

5 Bedroom House in Nanyuki
Ol Bobongi House is a 15-acre property which comprises one main house, one games/gymnasium complex, one host cottage and a staff cottage. The entire property is surrounded by electric fence and we have 24-hour gate and security service. This is a peaceful place though and our fence is more to keep our dog in and the wildlife out!
We can accommodate 10 people in our sumptuous interior designed home. Ol Bobongi House has 4 bedrooms - 3 of them are en suite (all large; one with a Super-King Bed, one with a King-sized Bed and one with Two Single Beds) and the 4th bedroom is a mezzanine room over the games room, with 2 queen size beds with a fully equipped bathroom close by. All these rooms lead onto huge verandas facing Mount Kenya and looking out over the Bush towards the Aberdares. The verandas are a wonderful place to relax, especially in the evening for your 'Sundowner' - the tradition of sipping on your gin and tonic whilst the huge African sun slips behind the horizon.
For those of you who love star-gazing, there is no ambient light here and the views of the Milky Way are without parallel.
We also have a large fully-equipped kitchen, a dog room / boot room, a cinema, a dining room and a very large drawing room with stone French fireplace.
The home is further complimented by study area, cloakroom (loo), a large entrance hall with fountain and pond, a further study, a shower room and the "piece de resistance" is the huge games room. Here we have a bar, a snooker table, table tennis, Foosball table, darts, a big fireplace with comfy sofas and a gymnasium. This is the most fantastic entertainment room and if you have kids / teenagers a brilliant place for them to hang out. This room leads onto an outdoor courtyard area, with a boules / Petanque court and a barbecue area. We usually have lunch here! (Breakfast is in another gazebo in the garden facing Mount Kenya and we have tea on the veranda and dinner / supper in the dining room!) In total, the main house runs to over 800m2 or 8000 square feet.... there is lots of space and the entire main house is available for your use!
We grow most of our own vegetables and herbs in the garden and we have free range chickens; so we can offer you lovely fresh produce on your table everyday.
Our home is a project of love and attention to detail - with an African theme (skins and furs) mixed with French chic and artefacts from Asia. It is an oasis of calm in which to unwind and have the holiday / stay of a lifetime…
