    This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we had. It's a very nice and clean property. Very well-equipped kitchen with all the amenities around. The view of Mount Kenya made it even more special. The property has 2 very well-behaved pet dogs...

The Wonky House is located 9 kilometres off the main road from Timau town in a secure and serene farming village overlooking Mt. Kenya. In front of the house is a small area perfect for camping. Timau is in close proximity to various wildlife conservancies and national parks such as Ol Pajeta, Lewa, Borana, Samburu National Park and Solio Ranch. The Wonky House has a great vegetable patch for guests to enjoy fresh produce during your stay. It is a great place to escape from city life! It gets quite cold at night, don't forget your cosy pyjamas.
We have a care taker on the property who is able to attend to guests at any hour.
