A Unique Off-Grid Villa in Takaungu, Kilifi
Reconnect with Nature, Outdoor Living
This unique concept gives you the opportunity to experience
living outdoors without having to sacrifice the comforts you would
expect on holiday.
Although totally open on 3 sides, the house is enclosed by
hectares of private (fenced) land with old trees providing
privacy. Instead of dangerous wildlife you will enjoy watching
our cows grazing and a plethora of tropical birds who have
discovered the tranquility of our property and its surrounding
nature.
During the day, our cheerful English-speaking staff are
available for any requirements. At night, our traditional Maasai
patrols the grounds to ensure your safety.
Living in Harmony with Nature
We are proud to be off-grid! Solar power runs our pumps, fridge,
lights and of course your electric devices. The sun warms our water
for the showers by a notch making it feel refreshing but not cold.
Our toilets voted "e; the most luxurious composting toilets I have seen "e;.
Instead of producing problematic waste, our toilets produce fertilizer
for our reforestation efforts and there is nothing you need to do, in
fact you need to do less than usual because you don't need to flush.
Our plunge-pool has a biological filter without any chemicals.
A typical day on our farm from dawn to dusk
At the break of dawn, cheerful Kabindo comes to tend the cows and take them to new
fields for the day.
At around 7.30am, our housekeeper Zosi arrives to
prepare fresh tropical breakfast consisting of
coffee/tea, fresh bread, eggs and fruits served in
the comfort of your home.
Zosi will then start cleaning the accommodation
and provide a basic laundry service.
Dinner is usually served with the onset of dusk. Zosi
is a talented cook for alluring Swahili dishes, which
are predominately vegetarian. You can also fire-up
the BBQ and let Zosi do the side-dishes.
For seafood we recommend hiring a professional
chef at a small supplementary charge. He will
communicate your preferences with the local
fishermen and prepare the catch of the day
according to your wishes.
In the late afternoon the cows
return from the fields and our manager
will drop in to see if you need
anything before he leaves.
Just before dusk, Kulpasio, our
trusted Masai arrives. He patrols
the grounds until the break of
dawn.
