Family run business. So 90 year old papa who designed the place is in the house (singing:). Frank Lloyd Wright is an inspiration and that you can feel in the beautiful building. Imagine sleeping next to a waterfall and lush nature in busy busy busy Nairobi: here it is. And the good thing is: it's cheap. And you can get everywhere you want by Uber, so distance is not a thing. For single travellers: here you feel comfortable. Just take an Uber taxi and you get everywhere you want. There is always the family and team that will make you feel at home. Excellent basis for trips around Nairobi. Excellent basis for a more longterm stay.

Norman and his team are aware of things that can get better, like for example breakfast. Some days it's excellent, some days just an ordinary breakfast. If you're not up to big fancy glossy glamour but you prefer a place with a heart: this is the place. It's not perfect but it's just great.

Beautiful place for nature lovers. Quite, safe, and the sound of waterfalls to sleep with. We loved every bit of the time spent there. It becomes even special when the owners are so welcoming and give you the feel of a family. Anyone considering staying here, GO AHEAD. You'll be the one writing this kind of review after your stay.

Everything was beyond expectations.

The tranquility of the property is beyond this world- a perfect place to reset and get in tune with oneself. Norman was a lovely host and Sarah's pancakes have to be one of the best I've ever had! Will definitely be back :)

The location and all the staff

Very serene location with falls; great view indeed. The staff was so supportive and kind, many thanks to Norman who made me feel at home. I will definitely make this my only residence in Nairobi

Breakfast options could be improved

Very peaceful and mind-relaxing setting. The staff is very kind and helpful in all situations. Easy to connect to many parts of the city via Uber.

The Villa is in a hilly setting so there are plenty of stairs which I like but it needs a bit of attention and coordination.

Just checked out after a lovely stay at Villa Rock-Stop. The villa is unique and full charm, set in beautiful area at the edge of Karura forest. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with amazing views of the waterfall, and breakfast was excellent. Most of all, the staff were all very friendly and attentive and Norman and his family were the perfect hosts. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable - arranging a visit to Nairobi National Park, preparing home-cooked meals, and offering help when I had an issue with my bank.

wonderful location

the room was very very tiny as well as the bed it’s not suitable for two people the mosquito nets were also too small as they are round making you even not be able to move
