The property is located 2.9 km from Old German Boma, 7.2 km from Njiro Complex and 24 km from Meserani Snake Park. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. We were so impressed by this place! We had our own apartment with a sitting room and everything. We only stayed 1 night so can’t vouch for the functionality of the kitchen, but the space was great and we especially loved the welcome coffee and cookies :) and the roof access with views of the mountains! And the woman working there was just lovely.
