Loresho House That Homely Feeling

A homely and stylish bungalow located in the leafy upmarket suburb of Loresho in Northern Nairobi. Loresho House is set in its own ¾-acre (33'000 sq-ft) compound and surrounded by lush gardens, enclosed by a 2.5m/8ft-high chain-link fence and thick kei-apple hedge.

Our family-owned home boasts:
1) In the main house: four cosy, individually decorated and furnished rooms*, each with a private entrance and patio, all en suite;
2) In the Annexe: two apartments, featuring one or one and a half bedrooms, fully-equipped kitchen and open-plan lounge, bathroom and private cosy garden.
All come in tasteful colour schemes and are equipped with hot-water showers.

We provide a delicious continental breakfast including indigenous fruits, home grown tea and coffee. Sumptuous home-cooked meals, both Kenyan and continental cuisine are readily available on request.

Loresho House comes with patrolled security, burglar alarms and smoke detectors. It is ideal for holidaymakers, business travellers, summit/conference delegates, development co-operation experts, volunteers, interns, exchange students and honeymooners.

Located 27km/16mi from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), 15Km/9mi from Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD) and in close proximity to the hype Westlands shopping quarter, we are well served by public transport and taxi services. If you shall be working at the United Nations (UN) or in the Gigiri suburb, you will find Loresho House ideal, as you would not need to travel through the traffic flowing to the city centre. Incidentally, Loresho suburb is listed by the United Nations and the World Bank as a safe and recommended residential area.
