The Boat House is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway and an ideal base from which to explore the region. The villa is built on Mukima Farm with clear views of Mount Kenya and the Loldaiga Hills from all corners of the property. Mukima Farm is located 6 km North of Nanyuki Town (a 20-minute drive) on the Timau road. The flying time is about one hour from Nairobi, and the driving distance to Nanyuki is 120 miles (195 km) on good roads. The journey should take just over 3 hours. This one-bedroom guest cottage includes a double en suite, dressing room, a kitchen, Sitting, Dining, Lake View Veranda, and lounge.

The house is booked on an exclusive basis and a  minimum of 2 nights for 2 guests. Prices include kitchen appliances, use of the Rowboat on the Dam, fishing rights in the Dam, bed linen and towels, access to Mukima Forest walks, and free Wi-fi internet access. The Boathouse is an ideal base from which to visit several of Kenya’s finest wildlife conservancies, and Ol-Pejeta, Lolldaiga Hills, Solio Ranch, Ol Jogi, and Lewa Downs are all within easy reach – as is Mount Kenya National Park. Nanyuki Town is just 15 minutes away by car and has several very good places to eat, drink, and shop. Other activities include horse riding & yoga, massage and treatments,  and scenic flights.

Boathouse Cottage is a spacious and homey little home. Perfect for peaceful, romantic escapes very close to 5 famous wildlife conservancies for game drives and day trips.  There is a private bridge that leads you to your own sanctuary on the Mukima Dam.

The Boathouse sits on the 360 private acres of Mukima House with its own private garden, garage, and access. The ceiling in the downstairs open-plan kitchen and living room is a little low.

Those over 5’10 may just have to duck a little. But we have had many tall people stay and love it. Just worth noting. You will have access to around 300 acres of private land.

The only off-limit areas are the pool, tennis court, and gardens of the main manor house. This house is self-catering. It has Wi-Fi. Mukima Estate has three rental options (Mukima house (main house), Boathouse Cottage, and Makutano house cottage). All sharing most amenities.
