Eco Farmhouse Kenya
Nestled 80 kilometers from the bustling city of Nairobi, in the serene and lush landscapes of Murang’a, lies a hidden gem that every nature lover and eco-conscious traveler must visit—Eco Farmhouse Kenya. This unique Airbnb farm stay, set in a thriving fruit farm, offers a tranquil escape from the chaos of urban life. My recent visit to this incredible destination left me awe-inspired, particularly as I witnessed the remarkable evolution of Eco Farmhouse Kenya over the years. From its modest beginnings as a simple fruit farm, it has transformed into a sought-after getaway with two fully operational Airbnbs—the Treehouse and the Ostrich House.
Whether you’re a nature lover, a fan of sustainable living, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Eco Farmhouse Kenya is a destination that should be on your travel list.

The farm is a verdant oasis, filled with a variety of fruit trees, lush greenery, and colorful flowers. The air is fresh and filled with the scent of blooming flowers and ripening fruits. It’s the kind of place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to truly connect with nature.
The farm’s landscape is dotted with charming structures that blend seamlessly with the environment. The highlight, of course, is the Ostrich House—a unique accommodation that offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This enchanting house is a true testament to the farm’s commitment to eco-friendly living.
2. The Evolution of Eco Farmhouse Kenya
Witnessing the transformation of Eco Farmhouse Kenya from a simple fruit farm to a thriving eco-friendly retreat was truly inspiring. Over the years, the farm has developed into a model of sustainable living, promoting organic farming practices and responsible tourism. The addition of the two Airbnbs—the Treehouse and the Ostrich House—has allowed visitors to experience the farm’s beauty while supporting its mission.
I was filled with immense gratitude as I reflected on how far the farm has come. The growth of Eco Farmhouse Kenya is not just a testament to the hard work of its founders, but also a reflection of the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-conscious travel options. This farm stay is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a place to reconnect with nature, learn about sustainable living, and experience the simple joys of farm life.
3. The Unique Charm of the Ostrich House Bedrooms
My stay at the Ostrich House was nothing short of magical. The house is thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural surroundings while offering all the comforts of modern living. What truly stole my heart, though, were the bedrooms.
Each bedroom in the Ostrich House is a cozy haven, with large windows that frame peaceful views of the landscape. As I lay in bed, I could see the gentle sway of the trees, the distant hills, and, of course, the farm’s resident ostriches strolling by. There’s something incredibly soothing about waking up to such a serene view, with the sounds of nature as your alarm clock.
The décor is simple yet elegant, with natural wood finishes, soft linens, and subtle accents that enhance the room’s charm. The windows not only flood the rooms with natural light but also offer glimpses of the majestic ostriches that roam the farm. It’s a rare and delightful experience to wake up to the sight of these magnificent birds.
4. A Closer Encounter with the Resident Ostriches
One of the highlights of my stay at Eco Farmhouse Kenya was getting up close and personal with the resident ostriches. These majestic birds are a central feature of the farm, and the Ostrich House offers plenty of opportunities to observe them in their natural habitat.
From the comfort of my room, I could watch the ostriches as they grazed peacefully on the farm. Their presence added a unique charm to the entire experience. During my stay, I learned about their habits, their diet, and the farm’s efforts to ensure their well-being.
5. The Treehouse: An Eco-Friendly Escape
While my main focus was the Ostrich House, I couldn’t resist taking a peek at the Treehouse, the other Airbnb accommodation at Eco Farmhouse Kenya. Perched high among the trees, the Treehouse offers a completely different but equally enchanting experience.
The Treehouse is perfect for those seeking a more adventurous stay. It’s a cozy, elevated structure with a bird’s-eye view of the farm. Like the Ostrich House, it’s designed with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly materials and minimizing its impact on the environment. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a small family, the Treehouse is a perfect getaway for those looking to be closer to nature.
6. Farm-to-Table Dining Experience
Another unforgettable aspect of my stay at Eco Farmhouse Kenya was the farm-to-table dining experience. The farm produces a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, all grown using organic methods. Guests are treated to delicious meals made from the freshest ingredients, harvested right from the farm.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the charming dining area, where you can enjoy your meal while taking in the beautiful surroundings. The dishes are simple but flavorful, showcasing the farm’s bounty. I particularly loved the freshly squeezed fruit juices and the salads made with crisp, garden-fresh vegetables.
7. A Serene Escape for Nature Lovers
Eco Farmhouse Kenya is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re lounging in the Ostrich House, exploring the farm, or enjoying a meal made from fresh produce, every moment is an opportunity to embrace the tranquility of rural life.
The farm’s peaceful atmosphere, combined with the unique charm of the accommodations, makes it a perfect escape for nature lovers. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and truly appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
My stay at Eco Farmhouse Kenya was a truly unforgettable experience. The Ostrich House, with its charming bedrooms and serene views, offered a perfect blend of comfort and connection with nature. The farm itself is a testament to the power of sustainable living, and I left with a deep sense of gratitude for the remarkable journey it has undertaken.
