Yarkona Hedge

Very friendly and helpful. Very nice place to stay for a week - quiet, safe and calm.

a bit tricky to find the first time

Quiet, safe, comfortable. Lovely host.

This place is definitely a beautiful little haven. You will feel as if you were in the countryside, definitely not in a city. 20-min walk to TRM mall, or 180 shillings for Uber. Far from downtown but easy with Uber - between 500/600 shillings and matatus are just a 10-min walk - 70 shillings. Patricia, the owner, is dedicated for her guests to have a great time and she puts a lot of care and time in everything. Little details.are important to her and it shows. She is good with communication. She also respects her guests privacy. Bed is really comfortable, and the sheets, duvet and blankets in the living room smelled so good! Cozy place; we extended a few nights just to enjoy the tranquillity and relax and will definitely go back if we visit Nairobi again. There is a pretty strict security so that might be a bonus for some people - you don't have a key to enter on your own terms, the security guard let's you in and you have to make arrangements if you want to get in after 10pm. Thank you Patricia! We really enjoyed your place and it was a pleasure to meet you. :-)

Only mention here would be the shower - the pressure is really weak, which makes washing thick and long hair quite a process. There is hot water but you either get really hot water or cold. It just doesn't mix.

It is a lovely bungalow with its own private front area - including car park space. Very close to TRM (Thika Road Mall) that has many good restaurants and shops. Owner is very helpful - and goes out of the way to ensure that your stay is as good as can be. Very clear instructions on how to use what is available. Very high level of security - gate locked all the time and guarded at night (including dogs in the area between the bungalow private space and gate)

What I didn't like and it ruined my trip is the. exceptional security (that might be ok for many). Other than calling owner, there is no way to contact guard to open gate for visitors or even to escort the guest to gate late at night ... No phone or buzzer for guard ... All contact via owner and that worked fine other than when owner is sleeping. In that case you are "jailed" ... No one can come to you and you can't go out (even if there is medical emergency) ... The only option is to take on security guard dogs. But as I said ... for many this is a good feature of excellent security. To me, I felt jailed at night.

so peaceful and convenient

Very secure location with a huge compound. House fully stocked and replenished regularly. Very comfortable place. Ultimate value for money.

The place is perfect. Exceed expectations.
