Cozy, TINY house in Karen with gorgeous garden.

About this space
Karakana -garage in Swahili- is our take on a 32 year old garage turned cozy.

Once a humdrum, prosaic two car garage, karakana is now a fabulous, perfectly sized, 2 bedroom house that sleeps four.

Located in the leafy suburbs of Karen, next to three major shopping malls, restaurants, watering holes, banks, a dispensary and hospitals.

Attractions including Nairobi national park, giraffe center, Ngong hills etc

33min. from JKIA and 24min. from Wilson Airport.

Perfect for long stays.
The space
Karakana is a fully furnished two-bedroom semi-industrial, semi-rustic themed house with a shared garden.

Karakana features;

- Fully loaded little kitchen
- Breakfast bar that sits 2.
- Comfortable corner sofa that sits 5
- 32" Smart TV
- Wireless Internet
- Instant hot water shower
- Dedicated working table (mini office)
- 90% Solar powered (soon to be 100%)
- Gorgeous garden to unwind
- Awesome people around to talk to :-).

She's an oldie but she packs a 👊🏾!
