Barnhouse Cottage is a peaceful countryside retreat tucked away in a private corner of our family compound in Tigoni's tea highlands. At its heart is a secluded wellness corner/garden where guests can slow down and recharge with a sauna, steam bath, and outdoor cold-plunge jacuzzi (not heated). Surrounded by trees, birdsong, and fresh highland air, it's a simple space to unwind after a walk through the tea fields or a day exploring Tigoni. Built entirely from repurposed shipping containers, the cottage blends rustic textures with modern comforts and an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Large windows bring in natural light throughout the day, while the sunroom dining area, outdoor porch, and secluded garden space creates plenty of spots to read, share a meal, have an evening bonfire or simply do nothing at all. The cottage accommodates up to six (6) guests across three (3) bedrooms with queen beds, orthopeadic mattresses and quality linen. The master bedroom is ensuite and includes a dedicated workspace and reading nook, while the other two bedrooms share a spacious bathroom. A fully equipped indoor kitchen and a smaller outdoor kitchen make longer stays comfortable, whether you're preparing a simple breakfast, hungry mans brunch or cooking a family meal together in the evening. You'll have access to high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, a Smart TV with streaming services, complimentary tea and coffee, reliable 24-hour backup power, and attentive on-site staff who help ensure a seamless stay. For stays longer than two nights, housekeeping is provided every two days with fresh linen, towels, and replenished essentials. Just outside the gate, a quiet private road winds through tea farms, offering beautiful sunrise and sunset walks. Guests also enjoy complimentary access to Twin Rivers Park for riverside walks, waterfalls, picnics, and outdoor activities. If you're seeking a quiet weekend away, a remote-working escape, or a small wellness-focused retreat with family or friend
The Tea Highlands of Tigoni are a must visit while in Nairobi!
