Guest House 'Trees' |
| 
put your feet up at Trees
‘Trees’ is rustic but comfortable. The guest-house and
annex comprise two double bedrooms (one with an
extra single bed, one with a child’s cot), each with its own
shower room.
There is a spacious living/dining room with fireplace, a large kitchen
and a substantial veranda. Mattresses and duvets/blankets are provided,
but visitors should bring their own sheets and towels.
‘Trees’
is self-catering – please bring your own food and drink. Naivasha
has a range of shops and at the farm, fresh milk can usually be
purchased (ensure you ask the caretaker the evening before). The
kitchen is fully equipped and has a gas cooker (gas is supplied).
There is no mains electricity at ‘Trees’. AC current
is available via a small solar power system to run low-wattage devices
such as a laptop computer or mobile phone charger, and there is
a micro hi-fi (tape, CD and radio) for guests to use.
Solar panels (with a wood-fire booster) heat water for the showers
and the kitchen. Visitors are asked to conserve water as the supply
depends on rain-water harvesting. In the evenings a wood fire is
laid in the living room while portable solar lights and vintage
kerosene lamps provide lighting.
‘Trees’ is furnished attractively as a comfortable family
home. There is a library of books and music tapes for guests to
enjoy – but please leave these as you found them!

Staff
The farm’s caretakers (one of whom lives on the property) will
be happy to help with any problem. They will provide firewood, lay
the fire and light the lamps, but do not undertake domestic duties
such as making beds and washing dishes. |

Access
By car, ‘Trees’ is around two and a half hours from
Nairobi, depending on traffic. The drive is usually straightforward
but in very wet weather the last kilometre or two, on dirt, can
be difficult for small cars. Using public transport from Nairobi
may take about an hour longer. ‘Matatus’ for Murungaru
can be found in Naivasha town. A Nature Kenya vehicle and driver
are available subject to prior booking: contact Nature Kenya |
