Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Laikipia County

First off the cottage is beyond beautiful.Even gorgeous is an understatement.There’s so much space and it’s like a breath of fresh air. The horses and the friendly dogs were everything one could wish for. It’s definitely the standard if you want a good place to just enjoy quietly.

We really enjoyed our stay in this villa off the beaten track. It is close to Nanyuki but just far enough to really enjoy the nature and birds. The housekeeper makes you feel at home right away and arranged affordable transport whenever we needed it. We especially enjoyed the terrace with the view over mt Kenya. We watched the sunset here every day. It is a perfect hide out for doing remote work or for a relaxing vacation. The area offers some nice walks across the river and the country side.

Hellen is Great host and she has amazing house keepers. If you are looking for a place to stay within Nanyuki, I would highly recommend Hellens place.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, and everything went well. We recommend staying there and will be back.

Heated swimming pool was great. Very spacious house. Beautiful and clear view of the much loved Mount Kenya. Comfortable beds with extra blankets for the cold nanyuki weather. A few issues with cleanliness of the kitchen but overall a great place if you dont mind loud music. Would recommend to anyone having a party or gathering.

Marion's place is amazing. It is well kept amd clean. In a serene area, with a beautiful view of Mt. Kenya. Maina the caretaker was wonderful and very responsive to our inquiries. I would definitely recommend. thank you so much.

River Run House is beautiful, Sarah was a great host and the staff on site were helpful. The place is brand new but already feels cozy and is tastefully appointed. Beautiful views from the balcony and rooftop and the pool is perfect for cooling off. We visited one of the recommended restaurants in Nanyuki and had a great stay overall. Recommend River Run house as a place to unwind and spend quality time with family or friends.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house surrounded by lush, well-maintained gardens—it truly felt like a peaceful retreat. Mwangi, our host, had impeccable response time and made sure everything was smooth from booking to check-out. A special mention to George, the caretaker, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and recharge in a serene setting!

Thank you for a lovely stay. The Shepherds huts are beautiful on the inside and so comfortable. The restaurant onsite is great. Highly recommend.

Quiet place , was bummed out there was no nearby shop

The place was great. The access to Maiyan and their wonderful food was also great. The road to access the area is not. Hopefully this improves in time. We arrived after dark, and it took us quite a while from town. The directions took us right to the front gate, so no problem there. All in all, it was a great place and we will be back next time we are in Nanyuki.

This is an amazing place. The animals, views of Mt Kenya and the walking are exceptional. If you are looking for peace, quiet and space then you will not find better.

We had a wonderful time at the Villa. The photos do not do it justice. Wish we’d booked for longer. Will definitely be back. Tabitha and Joseph were brilliant. Thank you.

Five star review for a five star property. This beautiful little cottage nestled amidst beautiful grounds in the rolling hills of Nanyuki was exactly what we needed for our weekend trip up from Nairobi. It's a perfect distance from the lovely restaurants of Nanyuki and we enjoyed the proximity to Ol Pejeta, a 45 minute drive away so easy to get some morning game drives in. Betty was so helpful to us when our dog got covered in ticks on one of our dog walks, bringing tick shampoo, towels and a basin to wash him in and checking in to make sure we had everything we need. Fantastic place. If you bring a dog do ensure it's well covered for ticks/fleas particularly in the rainy season.

amazing host, enjoyed my stay there

Batian House is a home away from home. I was particularly impressed by the simple but elegant furnishings - no overkill. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants a calm quiet time in the wild.

We loved our stay here that we even extended another day. The house is beautifully crafted. The host was always responsive and her caretaker James was always helpful. Everyone loved the spacious bathrooms and finishes. Will definitely be back.

Great spot, and Eric was very helpful !

Skip all the hotels and lodges in this area and stay here. It's a perfect home away from home. The gardens are a perfect place to relax and watch the sunset. The kids have enough grounds equipped with safe play sets. The home is well secured. There's adequate trees that add to the quality of air and serenity. If you are a fun of animals you will be well pleased here. We stayed a family of 8 adults and 7 kids and there was adequate room for us all. The bat is well equipped for that refreshing evening drink. Great music selection with perfect sound to cheer up your spirits. I doubt we would have the kind of experience we had here in any other place. Plus places like Nanyuki are literally 30 mins drive away and so much to do in the area if you have to live. The only downside is we couldn't stay longer or forever! Oh, and I can't forget to mention the excellent service offered by everyone from the owner to the workers. Also one of our cars needed a Jumpstart and Mr Turunga was gracious.

A very convenient location,quiet and super clean Silvia is very responsive and easy to understand A home away from home 🏡 I’ll definitely visit again 🥰

I was needed of a quiet-get away from NBO, when I get to this retreat, I couldn’t ask for more. Jacqueline, the host has been responsive and attentive to your questions and needs. She also has her full team including Arnold, and the caretaker on ground, Simon who will make sure you’re taken care of. The cabin is so cute, lovely, clean and environmental friendly. Not only you will reconnect to the beautiful nature but you will reconnect with your soul through the cold fresh-clean air, the sounds of nature and warm charcoals provided. The morning coffee is my favorite moment, so does a small walk to the stream just by the house. If you like outdoor & camping you’ll know what to prepare. Not about sleeping in a tent (as beds are provided & hot-shower) but more of the self-catering preparation and personal warm-clothes. If you are short on things, there’s Jamaa supermarket 15 mins drive-away to Ol Kalou town. So, take off your shoes, enjoy & feel the green yard! It’s one beautiful one.

The place is great the host is so nice, I really had a great time. I would definitely recommend anyone to this place, as its legit.

This villa and the nearby cottages are on a beautiful piece of land. This is the second time we have stayed with Samawati, and we will be back again. The house is unique, with lots of space. Susan, the manager, is incredibly friendly. She made breakfast and dinner for us each night and was very accommodating to our requests. She had perfect hospitality. Thank you!

Robin's place is the place to be. We were two couples and our children. It was raining but were able to access the house without any problem with ordinary cars. The house is simple and smart, warm and well done, very very clean. All the facilities listed are available. Our children enjoyed the pool table. Robin was very responsive and kept checking on us. The caretaker Mr. Wachira was a great man. He is humble, good listener, obedient, and could offer alternatives. He sourced for us a huge chicken on short notice which we enjoyed. It was chilly outside but the house was very warm plus is had a room heater that made it even more warm. Robin also guided us on the areas to visit and he further linked us with his friend at Olpajeta who was of great assistance to us especially with the rainy weather and impassable roads to the conservancy. "Going out to Nanyuki???,,,,Robin's place is the place to be"
