Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ongata Rongai

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy and spotless family home. From the moment we arrived, Jue made us feel incredibly welcome, even going so far as to cook a meal for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Nairobi with plenty of great amenities within walking distance. The security guards were also very friendly and helpful, adding to the overall sense of comfort and ease. This truly felt like a home away from home, perfect for our little family. This is what Airbnb should be about! Highly recommended!

It was awesome

The hole team is great. From Geoffrey to Moses and the washing ladies, all very friendly. If you have questions, the will give reaction in max 5 minutes. Top Team

Tim is an extremely amenable and accommodating host. The house is lovely, transports you back to another time. The garden is a beautiful, tranquil, oasis of colour and life. Margaret the housekeeper takes very good care of you. The surrounding area is lovely and there are several excellent places to eat. A car however is probably a necessity to appreciate these fully.

A Hidden Gem in Karen – Full of Charm and Exceptional Hospitality. Our stay at Amani House was nothing short of memorable. Nestled in the peaceful, leafy neighborhood of Karen, the property is full of charm and character—every detail from the rustic decor to the lush gardens gives the house a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. What truly sets Amani House apart, though, is the hospitality. The staff were attentive and kind, going above and beyond to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. A special shoutout to Russell, who was not only gracious and helpful throughout our visit, but even came to the rescue when our car wouldn’t start. He helped us jump it without hesitation—a small act that meant a lot and reflects the spirit of this special place. If you’re looking for a serene, beautifully designed spot with heart and soul, Amani House is it. We’ll definitely be back.

Deborah’s place is perfect for a getaway. The peaceful atmosphere and amazing views are great for relaxing. Don’t forget to carry your binoculars, for birdwatchers.

Mohan and the housekeepers really welcomed us with open arms. From the moment of our arrival, they were very happy to settle us in and attend to our needs. The treehouse was perfectly located within the leafy suburbs of Lavington in driving proximity to various tourist attractions, making it an ideal place to stay. The space was unique, surrounded by greenery with a beautiful tree in the centre. The kitchen was well-stocked and the overall layout was spacious. The bathroom was clean with warm water for shower. There is access to a beautiful, well-kept garden, tended to by Mohan himself. Travelling as two young women, we felt very safe and looked after. It strikes the perfect balance between nature and city. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway with a easy access to the city centre !

We had a lovely stay—peaceful and well worth it! The place is beautiful! Access was a bit tricky due to ongoing roadworks, so clearer updated map points would help. Honorable shoutout to Joshua—an absolute resourceful gem!

we had a wonderful stay! The place was very clean, comfortable and peaceful, just what we needed. The host was welcoming and everything was just as described. Highly recommend!

The place is great, high end neighborhood and very peaceful. the house was neat, great amenities and furniture. With an amazing host. I will definitely check in again.

A beautiful oasis, I especially loved my mornings drinking coffee while overlooking the pristine garden. The apartment is beautifully decorated. I loved the charm of the building. Super comfy bed.

Julie was quite helpful throughout the entire time. From checking in to the checkout. She is friendly and kind. Definitely recommending her for the BnB services.

Lovely quite place to escape the busy city but still close enough that you have everything you need.

Marvin’s place is ideal for meeting guests flying in or flying out. Central location and easy to find. Very comfortable and well resourced . Highly recommend .

I booked this apartment for my mom and dad . They loved their stay and felt at home. Chris was very responsive when they needed him. It’s close to the US embassy for those that have to travel for the services. It’s a 5⭐️

What a wonderful space, and what a wonderful stay! Guyo is warm, welcoming, highly responsive and so so helpful as a guide to both Karen and to Kenya as a whole. It's a bit far from the city center if you plan to be there every day, but it is great as a base if you want to explore Kenya or the surrounding areas of Nairobi more broadly, and the cleaning/water/laundry/security amenities are reliable and good. The building itself is surrounded by birds, ivy-covered, and in one of the only walkable areas of Nairobi that I know of; many of the other guests I encountered chose to extend their stays upon arrival. I feel lucky to have found this spot. A comfortable, sunny resting place in a peaceful area of an otherwise somewhat chaotic city. Thank you for a great few months!

Catherine was an absolutely phenomenal host. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Her space was not only spotless and beautifully decorated but also filled with the kind of charm and elegance that reflects her personality. Every little touch spoke volumes of her thoughtfulness and dedication to creating a perfect experience. I truly felt like royalty during my stay and I cannot recommend Catherine enough. She is the epitome of grace and hospitality.

Few problems in the house were solved. Stephen is communicative and gives solutions.

It’s always a pleasure to be hosted Julz in the lovely apartment she manages. Looking forward to my next stay in Nairobi.

Honestly, fantastic experience! The space was clean and smelt good, it matched the photos and Vicki was an extremely communicative host. Highly recommend.

I would come back any time or recommend it any time. It’s a place to be if you want some nice, peace and quiet and comfy environment with birds singing in the air and surrounded by nature.

Nyaboke is a great host. The apartment is spotless and well-equipped. It is conveniently located near the mall and a local market offering a variety of curios and souvenirs.

Comfortable 2 bed, 2.5 bath in Riverside Nairobi. Spent the weekend and easy to move around with an Uber in and out. Wifi worked, hot showers, big screen TV, and comfortable couch. Will definitely consider streaming again when next in Nairobi. The location was also close to Crafty Chameleon restaurant, Kengele’s sports bar, Roadies nyama choma etc. Host was super responsive as well.

We didn’t stay long as it was a very last minute booking for our initial arrival into Nairobi, however Maureen’s communication was superb, she was very responsive and very helpful in her communication. It was only for her fast responses that we had a bed to sleep in after our 4am arrival. The apartment was very comfortable and clean and just what we needed for our short stay.
