Thayu House, Tigoni
Named after the Kikuyu word for peace, Thayu House is a serene countryside retreat where stillness is not just felt, but lived. Set within the quiet landscapes of Tigoni, Thayu was born from a deeply personal vision — a sanctuary shaped by intention, craftsmanship, and love, where guests are invited to slow down and truly feel at home.
The property features distinctive round cottages, each one built with patience and respect for both land and tradition. Complementing these spaces is a charming log-cabin meeting room, thoughtfully created from reclaimed stable timber, adding character and history to the setting. Every structure at Thayu House tells a story — of care, creativity, and a commitment to meaningful design.
The Roundvale Cottages
The Roundvale Cottages at Thayu House are designed in quiet harmony with their surroundings. Natural materials, warm textures, and softly curated green spaces define each cottage, creating interiors that feel grounded, calm, and inviting. Large windows open up to views of nature, encouraging guests to breathe deeply, unwind, and reconnect with the rhythms of the outdoors.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful weekend escape, a reflective retreat, or a small gathering space away from the city, Thayu House offers an experience rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and tranquility — a place where peace is not just a name, but a way of being.
