Lovely nature trail and super friendly staff
Are you looking to enjoy sitting on the lawn, enjoying a good read, alcohol-free hotel, or having quiet time? 35km away from Nairobi and 7.2 km from the center of Limuru you will find Brackenhurst Hotel and a Conference. Along the drive-in is a forest project of Native African trees that may be the most diverse in the world. The conference spaces are spacious and decorated beautifully., The garden is great with a variety of plants and flowers. The nature trail gives you the impression of being in the middle of a jungle. The conference facilities are impressive. A number of my UK friends say that Brackenhurst gives them the impression that they are home away from home, and I am amazed at the way they have managed to maintain their standards over the years. (100yrs). My friends and I visited Brackenhurst on a Saturday morning and had the place to ourselves. At the reception, we were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the Lower Forest walk. It’s a nice amble for most ages and abilities, with indigenous trees and flowers, spotting Sykes Monkeys, birds, and a pretty little waterfall! after the walk we had lunch at the Muna Tree Cafe, the pizza was really good, though our order took some time, it was worth the wait… lots of variety on the menu. Beautiful setting in lovely gardens I can say. Their restaurant has plenty of local options as well as some western dishes with their own signature. Their gift shop has great haggle-free pricing for souvenirs and gifts many of which are handcrafted locally You will love how the birds sing sweetly, the trees sway peacefully in the wind, and the expansive beautiful grounds simply compare to none! I especially recommend Brackenhurst to Christian groups seeking a clean ‘spiritual atmosphere’ for their groups or even for families or individuals. FYI Brackenhurst is a Christian retreat and conference center that is renowned for its warm welcome, the beauty of its grounds, the refreshingly cool climate, a wide range of meeting venues, and first-class hospitality.
