Juniper House has 4 bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms and two with the bathrooms right outside. We have a kitchen that's equipped with everything one might need to make a meal. We also have a beautiful garden, a gazebo and a balcony. I live in the house alone so most of the time it's just me and the cleaner onsite. The house can host up to 10 people because we have a room with 4 single beds. We also have a washing machine, a common dinning area and Juniper Kitchen is right next door which makes it easy to order some food if one does not want to go outside.
There is much that a family can do while staying at Juniper House.
1. You can visit the Giraffe center which is not far
2. Elephant Orphanage

About the Area
The house is located in Westlands, Nairobi, one of the safest and well organized places in Nairobi. The environment here is cool because there are trees around and also on the compound. We also have 24/7 guards at the gate. The house is also at the center of everything anyone would need like Supermarkets, malls, taxi ranks, bus stop, highway, restaurants, Hospitals e.t.c Most of these are at a 2-20 minutes walk.
Driving from the airport might take less than 30 mins- 1 hour and sometimes even more depending on the traffic. From the CBD, one might take 10-30 minutes drive also depending on the traffic which mostly varies with time.
Almost everyone in Westlands speaks Swahili and English and people are so helpful and kind.
