The Aberdare Country Club, only a two and a half hour drive northeast from Nairobi, is nestled on a slope of Mweiga Hill in the Aberdare Highlands, part of the Great Rift Valley. This captivating site was the homestead of an English couple that decided to settle in Kenya. Almost a half century later, their home, "The Steep", was renamed the Aberdare Country Club and opened for guests. Considered a heritage property in Kenya, The Aberdare Country Club has retained the charm of a private home with the simple comforts of a country inn.
Two Bedroom Cottages
Special features
All our rooms are styled to the era of old “English cottages”, with simple décor, reminiscent of the old farmhouse days yet gives you the comfort of today’s luxury. All the rooms in the cottages have either a queen/double bed or twin beds and the majority are interconnecting between two rooms. The cottages are sold separately with the interconnecting doors opened on request. The interconnecting doors are lockable from either side and can not be opened from the other room.
Set amongst the flora and fauna of the ACC gardens, all the cottages have spectacular views to the north, over-looking the Solio Game Sanctuary which has both the black and white rhinos. On a clear day one can view the Aberdare ranges to the west and Mount Kenya to the East, while surrounded by herds of wildlife grazing around you in the club’s own animal sanctuary.
