Kenya. In front of the house is a small area perfect for camping. Timau is in close proximity to various wildlife conservancies and national parks such as Ol Pajeta, Lewa, Borana, Samburu National Park and Solio Ranch. The Wonky House has a great vegetable patch for guests to enjoy fresh produce during your stay. It is a great place to escape from city life! It gets quite cold at night, don't forget your cosy pyjamas. We have a care taker on the property who is able to attend to guests at any hour. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchenette - Microwave - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113100000/113091100/113091048/89a19fbe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sparrow Nest Cottage: Peaceful garden oasis hidden under the slopes of Mt Kenya.
