Charmed by the warmth and hospitality of the Irish on a visit to the Emerald Isle, in the last century, the founder of Macushla House (Gaelic for ‘my beloved’) opened the doors to those seeking the natural joys of life providing the amenities of a hotel yet the warmth and character of a private home. Surrounded by indigenous bushland, in Karen suburb of Nairobi, birdsong and wind chimes accompanied by flowing water from the swimming pool dragon are part of the daily concert. Public areas are home to an eclectic celebration of artifacts from countries as far flung as Yemen to Australia. The House is located a walking distance from the Giraffe Centre, Daphne Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphange, UTAMADUNI Craft Centre & Verandah Restaurant, Karen Blixen Museum, Kazuri Beads and Pottery, Nairobi National Park, Bomas of Kenya (traditional dancers) Karen Shopping Centre and many more.
Accommodation The overnight accommodation is spacious with ensuite bathrooms for a maximum of ten guests. Open beamed ceilings, natural woodwork, log fires in the lounges and views over one of the last pockets of indigenous forest, complement the serenity and style of Macushla.
Conferences Board Room Facilities can accommodate conferences, seminars and workshops in a home style that offers peace and comfort
DiningMachushla House bar and dining room take on an ambiance of intimacy yet have been host to many a celebratory function and informal business dinner. The Private House food will leave you in no doubt that you are in a private. You can choose a tasty dish from the daily menu offered throughout the day and evening, or simply a traditional tea with a hint of indulgence - scones, strawberry jam and cream even to relax and enjoy by the poolside.
Leisure The terrace and swimming pool are regular venues for guests to relax, with water flowing from the pool’s dragon. The gardens are left to natural growth and indigenous flora and bird life. The Giraffe Centre is within easy walking distance where you can hand feed the Rothschild giraffe.
Study The private study offers the business traveler a quiet corner to connect with their laptop or the exercise bicycle - or both. send enquiry
