The Thesiger Cottage is a stunning 1-bedroom cottage with two beautiful 5 feet wide British Raj beds which would have been used by junior British military officers more than 160 years ago. This room is also decorated with a Persian carpet. The cottage has its own balcony, a perfect spot for admiring the flowers, views, and birdlife.

The Cottage also has a private bathroom fitted with a shower and comes with beautiful organic soap, shampoo, and conditioner handmade in Kenya.
