About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Wonky House

The Wonky House is located 9 kilometres off the main road from Timau town in a secure and serene farming village overlooking Mt. Kenya. In front of the house is a small area perfect for camping. Timau is in close proximity to various wildlife conservancies and national parks such as Ol Pajeta, Lewa, Borana, Samburu National Park and Solio Ranch. The Wonky House has a great vegetable patch for guests to enjoy fresh produce during your stay. It is a great place to escape from city life! It gets quite cold at night, don't forget your cosy pyjamas.

We have a care taker on the property who is able to attend to guests at any hour.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.
