It has been many years now since I first discovered Macushla House and I have stayed there on at least 5 different occasions. It feels like a comfortable chair where you can sink in and relax, either before your safari or to catch your breath before going home.

I have stayed in all the rooms in the main house, but have yet to stay in the cottages. It is an old fashioned, small hotel with really nice, fresh food and excellent service. I would wish that they would buy some new mattresses as I find them a little old and tired, and sometimes the showers can be a bit erratic but I highly recommend the place to anyone not needing to be in the city environment.

Close to all the tourist attractions and near to Wilson's airport, I have no doubt that I'll return again and again.

We stayed at Macushla house for 1 night at the end of our safari (booked based on trip advisor reviews). Since we are a family of four, I expected to have to book to rooms. However they offered us a 2 bedroom house (Fadhili house) for only $210, so I reserved that instead. The house was stunning and, upon seeing it, we immediately regretted not planning on staying there longer. There was a big and extremely well-decorated living area, kitchen and two bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom. We were extremely well looked after by Walter and the other staff who were very professional. We arrived on New Year’s Eve in time to have a very nice 3-course dinner (with choices for each course) which came with a bottle of champagne (yes a full bottle, which was more than we could drink with only 2 adults). We had no idea what it was going to cost but were pleasantly surprised to learn later that it was only about $80 for all four of us with the champagne. The next day, they served us a very elaborate and delicious breakfast (which was included in the stay). We then walked to the Giraffe Center (about a 15 min walk) and spent an enjoyable couple hours there feeding the giraffes and shopping for souvenirs (there is a nice shop there). We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool and watching the many monkeys in the gardens around the pool. My son even saw a hyrax in the trees which we have never seen before. We had a late night flight, so had to check out of our room, but they stored the luggage for us and let us use all their facilities. Walter also kept on top of the taxi service to make sure they came for us on time (apparently they often show up much later than you tell them so tell the taxi driver to be there 30 min before you really want to leave). I would highly recommend Macushla house as a quiet place to relax and be pampered by the great staff.

My wife, 13-year old granddaughter and I spent five nights at Macushla House. We arrived late the first evening and were greeted by Paul who got us settled in our own two-bedroom cottage. We were there for a couple of days while visiting an orphanage near Gnong, then left for safari and returned for three more nights before departing for home. The breakfasts were great, the beds comfortable (complete with mosquito netting) and the dinners very good. The service/hospitality was superb, the gardens beautiful and the House was close to the giraffe center and the elephant orphanage. I would suggest one or two reading lights. If a traveler has a desire to be in the city center, this is not the place... but, for convenience, comfort, hospitality and good food it can't be beat for the price.

What a gem! My father and I stayed on 2 separate nights pre and post a trip to Rwanda. We were allocated rooms in the main house which were spacious and comfortable. My only suggestion would be for a mirror and electrical socket to be in easy reach of each other for hair drying purposes. The staff was so helpful and allowed me to leave some of my luggage in the office for my collection on the last night before flying home. The decor is fascinating with nic nacs from various travels dotted about. Maow, the cat, was an added bonus. Tea and biscuits were served when we arrived each afternoon and food was plentiful, we couldn't do it justice. A definite recommendation when staying in Nairobi.
