Description

Isaac House is a beautiful rustic country guesthouse at the foot of the majestic Lukenya Hills, just 30 minutes from Nairobi's main (JKIA) airport. Our listed 7 bedroom main house more than comfortably sleeps 14 people on its 9 queen sized beds. Cost is $490 at bed only basis. Any extra guests beyond the 14 pays a nightly charge of $20.

We also have 4 adjacent garden rooms (also ensuite) and the cost per night for the entire 11 bedroom house, which comfortably accommodates 22 in 13 queen beds, is $690.

Our in-house chef makes delicious home cooked meals. Please note that food is not included in the accommodation cost.
