What Residents Say About Our Homes

Cape Gardens

Cape Gardens

Muthaiga Estate, Nairobi, Kenya

"Cape Gardens offers a rare balance – the feeling of a private home within a secure and beautifully maintained estate. Surrounded by mature greenery and open lawns, it brings a sense of calm that feels far removed from the city, while remaining effortlessly connected. The home is light-filled and thoughtfully arranged, with an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces that makes daily living feel both relaxed and refined. The international diplomatic community within Muthaiga Gardens is truly wonderful, and we always felt a strong sense of safety and ease living here. With Maarifa Homes’ attentive care, it becomes not just a place to stay, but a place to truly settle."

High Garden

High Garden

Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya

"We absolutely loved our stay at High Garden. The rooftop pool was a real highlight – set high above the city, it felt like a private sanctuary with incredible views. The gym upstairs was equally impressive, and having access to personal trainers made it feel like a true lifestyle experience rather than just a place to stay. The pan-Asian restaurant on the 24th floor was exceptional too – beautifully designed, with food that made it hard to leave the building. What truly elevated the experience was the Maarifa touch. The concierge team was attentive, thoughtful, and effortlessly helpful – always one step ahead without ever being intrusive. The apartment was extremely comfortable, with a hotel-quality mattress, crisp sheets, and plush towels, all seamlessly integrated with modern amenities and a brand new kitchen and bathrooms. We also loved the location. Being able to walk along Rhapta Road to delis, wine shops, and supermarkets gave it such an easy, urban rhythm. It felt central, vibrant, and above all, safe – everything you want from Nairobi living. A truly elevated stay. We love Maarifa Homes and the thoughtful touches of the Residents Club."

Nelion Loft

Nelion Loft

Old Muthaiga, Mutundu Road (No. 459), Nairobi

"We absolutely loved our stay at Nelion Loft. The mature gardens are truly special – lush, established, and full of character, creating a sense of calm the moment you arrive. One of our favourite rituals was simply stepping out of the gate and walking through the surrounding green, forested streets, with beautiful homes all around and the nearby Muthaiga Golf and Country Clubs just a short stroll away. It’s a rare kind of Nairobi living – peaceful, green, and quietly elegant. The house itself is wonderfully light and airy, with beautiful proportions and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. It feels modern yet retains a warm country house charm, making it both stylish and deeply comfortable. There’s a real sense of privacy and tranquility throughout, enhanced by the security and ease of being within a gated community on the edge of the Karura Forest. A beautiful home in one of Nairobi’s most special settings."
