Fig & Olive Cabins
Fig & Olive Cabins are premium self-catered countryside retreats located within one of Tigoni's historic tea farms, approximately 30 to 45 minutes from Nairobi. Managed by the same team behind the popular Fig & Olive Cafe, the cabins offer a peaceful escape surrounded by rolling tea plantations, fresh highland air, and beautifully landscaped gardens. Combining rustic charm with modern comfort, they provide the perfect setting for couples, families, and small groups looking to unwind in nature.
The thoughtfully designed upcycled cabins feature comfortable en-suite bedrooms, warm country-style interiors, and private indoor fireplaces that make Tigoni's cool evenings especially cozy. The property can accommodate between four and eight guests, with the main campsite comfortably hosting four people and an adjacent farm cottage providing space for an additional four guests. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or a weekend with friends, the cabins offer privacy while maintaining a welcoming countryside atmosphere.
Guests also have access to a spacious communal mess tent that serves as the heart of the property. This shared pavilion includes a comfortable lounge, a large fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area that opens onto manicured lawns overlooking the surrounding tea fields. It's an ideal space to prepare meals together, enjoy relaxed evenings by the fire, or simply soak in the peaceful views.
One of the unique features of Fig & Olive Cabins is its outdoor swimming pool, offering guests a refreshing place to relax after exploring Tigoni. The property is also pet-friendly, making it an excellent choice for visitors travelling with their dogs, who can enjoy the expansive gardens and quiet countryside walks alongside their owners.
As a self-catered accommodation, guests are encouraged to bring their own groceries and cooking supplies, while many choose to hire a private chef for a more relaxed experience during their stay. Just a short walk away, the renowned Fig & Olive Cafe serves fresh farm-to-table breakfasts, lunches, pastries, cakes, and specialty coffee daily, providing an excellent dining option without leaving the estate.
Fig & Olive Cabins also make an ideal base for exploring the best of Tigoni. Guests can easily combine their stay with tea farm tours, hiking trails, e-bike adventures, horse riding, waterfall walks, spa treatments, and visits to some of the area's most scenic restaurants and attractions. While the property is easily accessible from Nairobi, visitors should note that the final stretch of road into the farm can be uneven, and a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended, particularly during the rainy season.
Offering privacy, comfort, and an authentic countryside experience, Fig & Olive Cabins provide one of the most charming places to stay in Tigoni, making them perfect for weekend escapes, family gatherings, celebrations, and anyone looking to experience the beauty of Kenya's tea-growing highlands.
