Zambarao Farm House is a lovely bespoke farm house set at the edge of the Great Rift Valley with spectacular views of Lake Naivasha, the Great Rift Valley and the Aberdare Mountain Range. The house is nicely decorated and each room has its own unique features and deco. The house is surrounded by summer flowers which give it an amazing look when in bloom from September to February. It is a self-catering holiday home with a cook available on request. There is a quaint kitchen garden where you can pick vegetables in season for your meals. The main feature of the house is the large furnished veranda/patio with great views of the lake where you can hang out, wine and dine as you enjoy the view of the lake and the great sunsets. The fireplace in the lounge is great to hang around in the evenings. There is also a fire pit outside where you can gather around to stay warm in the evenings and enjoy your drinks and meals. It's great place for going on walks, biking, hiking and bird watching and is known as a designated Important Bird Area (IBA). A local professional bird-watching guide is available on request. It is a 45 mins - 1 hour drive from hiking trails in the Aberdares i.e., Mt. Kinangop, Mt, Kipipiri, Elephant Hill and the Aberdare, Naivasha and Hells Gate national parks. Zambarao Farm House is an experience..... its a great for families and friends. Just 110 km away from Nairobi. Eco-friendly. Fully serviced. Child friendly. Cook/housekeeper on hand to help you with your meals.
We enjoy curating beautiful spaces that will make you feel like your home away from home.... We grow summer flowers which surround the house to give it a really special feel....especially when in full bloom from September to February.
