The Tea Cottage is a beautiful farm stay cottage located in the countryside. It's about 150km from Nairobi City, Kenya. This tasteful cottage sits in the middle of a private tea farm overlooking the magical Mount Kenya. The location is ideal for both relaxation and outdoor activities. Come and enjoy a morning jog or walk boasting of great scenery and high altitude for the experienced runners. Learn more about tea picking from our experienced farm manager. Come and enjoy the beautiful tranquil surroundings and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
