This unique style build really is not only unique to Kenya but unique to the world. The house is actually built as a regular house with bricks to allow for warmth, but cladded with mabati (iron sheets) to allow for the ‘container/shed’ feel. We went for a whole new theme for the overall design of the home with black painted walls and tiles, an entirely black bathroom with wooden finishes carried throughout. The Shed sleeps 4 people comfortably with a master bedroom with ceiling to floor windows overlooking the Nakuru countryside, accompanied by a twin bunk bedroom that is perfect for extra guests but absolutely ideal for a fun ‘kid's room! The home is the perfect blend of rustic meets modern, with blends of both everywhere you look throughout the space. The lounge area offers the perfect place to unwind in front of Netflix with your loved ones, overlooking the greenery through the beautifully large windows. The home hosts a beautifully spacious veranda seating area which is ideal for those warmer evenings and is surrounded by an abundance of beautiful Kenyan birdlife ideal for bird lovers. We offer private chef services at a fee. Guests have full access to their home and their private outdoor area. Guests have access to the Ziwa Bush Lodge swimming pool. Guests are able to dine within the Ziwa Bush Lodge restaurant which is a short 30-metre walk away. Guests can opt for delivery of food to their holiday home but this may cost a room-service fee. Pets are not permitted Smoking is only permitted outside accommodation
We began building our own home together before we were married in 2013 and that’s where our individual love of property united. In 2020 we decided to use the enforced downtime that the pandemic handed us and we built our second home together on our property, and that’s when our love for property, building and design really grew, and we haven’t stopped building, designing and hosting since! We love hosting within our homes and we love sharing our work with others who then get to enjoy our homes and create their own special memories with loved ones within these properties.
The home is located at the Ziwa Bush Lodge resort and all facilities of the resort are accessible to the guests.
