About this property
Aberdares Riverside Tea Cottage 1BR - 2349
Riverside one-bedroom cottage on a 5-acre tea farm by the Chania River, steps from the Aberdare Forest Reserve — ideal for quiet escapes, hiking, birding, and fly-fishing.
Set above the Chania River on a private, 5-acre tea estate, Kimakia Tea Cottages 2 delivers a secluded highland retreat within walking distance of the Aberdare Forest Reserve. With a consistent 4.9+ rating for location, guests choose it for unspoiled scenery, fresh mountain air, and direct access to forest trails and riverside spots.
Designed for two, the cottage pairs simplicity with practicality. A covered veranda kitchen supports easy self-catering, while the lounge and bedroom (queen bed plus toddler bed) create a compact, cosy base for slow mornings and early starts alike. Thoughtful touches include a French press for at-home coffee and a private patio for sunset views across the valley.
Outdoors is the main event. Wander garden paths to the river, plan a day hike in the reserve, or set up at the firepit and barbecue area in the evening. Guided hikes and trout fishing can be arranged; the larger three-bedroom cottage on the same farm can be booked separately for friends or family, maintaining privacy across the site. Pets are welcome.
Good to know: the final 1.2 km approach is a steep dirt road — a 4×4 is recommended, especially in the rainy season. Stairs are required. Carbon-monoxide and smoke alarms are not listed. These rural conditions preserve the setting’s tranquillity and sense of adventure. Add your dates to secure this forest-edge stay.
