Zereniti House in Limuru, open FebruarySeptember.

Zereniti House is a restored colonial-era residence on Limuru's elevated terrain, originally built in the 1960s as a private estate and thoughtfully renovated to preserve its architectural character while introducing contemporary hospitality infrastructure.

Positioned on Off Gatatha Road with commanding views across the Central Highlands, the venue operates as a boutique hotel offering 12 individually appointed rooms alongside versatile event spaces.

The property's 2.5-acre grounds provide intimate ceremony settings and multiple reception configurations for destination weddings.

This is one wonderful place to spend time in. Both as a guest or at least for visiting the restaurant. The most amazing part is beautifully arranged gardens, amazing. Every tree, every flower is at the right place in order to create harmony. They try also to arrange differently for each room. The total feeling of uniqueness, serenity, style. The staff is friendly. Strongly recommended for those who value life surrounded by beauty.
