Outspan Green Cottage 🏚️

Posted bycomewithmeonabudgetPosted inAfrica, KenyaTags:, ,

Hey you.🤗 Thank you for coming back, and if you are new here, welcome to our budget family❤️.

Some thirty minutes away from Eldoret CBD, exists a beautiful beautiful cottage I recently discovered🏚️. It was on the eve of Labour Day when my mate and I decided to look for a nice relaxing place to escape from the close to three months routine at home. While searching for a place on Airbnb I bumped into the perfect Outspan Green Cottage.

Look at all that green🍀🤩

For two nights, we paid approximately KES 3,380 (27.38 USD) and got to enjoy two bedrooms, a cute living room, well equiped kitchen and a tiny but cosy bathroom. The cabin is purely made out of timber and is accessible through a wooden staircase🤩. It also has a beautiful outdoor balcony overlooking a beautiful lush and green garden that can be beautifully used as a picnic site. The greenery sorounding the cabin was easily my favorite part.🌄

The side view🤩. We came to learn from the owner, Dr.Gikonyo, that the cabin was built above a cow shed they were no longer using. How cool and smart is that!!

The cabin can comfortably host three people as one of the rooms has a double bed and the other a cute single bed. The beds are super comfortable🛌. In this social distancing times, this was a great plus since a majority of our time was spent indoors. We also loved the tiny thoughtful touches that made it feel so much like home💟. Let us now take a look at the different spaces in the cabin👯

The staircase 😍
The outside balcony where you can enjoy your outdoor meals or a movie, using a projector, on the wall below👇
The beautiful living room equiped with a TV, water dispenser, wifi and comfortable seats🤓
The first room has a wardrobe, single bed, a wooden chair and a mosquito net.
The second room has a pretty big and comfortable bed, two spaced wardrobes, a mosquito net and an iron board.

Before I show you the kitchen where all the food magic happens,🥘 I would like to mention that if you are having a “getaway” on a budget, always ensure that your stay has a kitchen with the basic cooking amenities📝. This helps cut costs on food and also allows you to discover new and wiered recipes😆. Because I was thoroughly surprised by how creative my mate is in the kitchen, here are some of the things we ate during our stay😋;

But first here is the kitchen. It was equiped with a fridge, microwave, kettle heater, table top gas cooker, sufurias, necessary utensils and a sink with cleaning supplies.
The supplies we used during our two visits; (approximately ten meals). You can see how much cheaper it is to buy s and cook for yourself .💰
Cooking macorroni and eating it with boiled smokies😆. The combo is divine!!
On the second night, we decided to go crazy and tried cooking smokies and eggs together. All I can say is; Please try it out!! 😋

On Madaraka Day, we decided to escape again and enjoy our little paradise. Here are the meals we tried during our second visit 😋;

Some mwitu tacos made from chapati, fried smokies and crisps😆. So yummy!!
Fried smokies, cake and eggs for breakfast.
😋 You can also be creative and use the iron board as a breakfast in bed table😉

Are you now ready to enjoy a fun safe break away from your daily routine?💃 You can book the stay on Airbnb here. (Kindly note that the price we paid was lower than normal since we visited the cottage during the early covid times) It is also important to mention that the owner was kind enough to fumigate and sanitize the cabin before our arrival. Isn’t that amazingly safe?🤓

As per the usual, see you soon as I share with you a lift of Visa free countries for Kenyans. ☺️ Thank you for reading and see you soon❤️

Just a random picture of me…🙊

See you soon🤗😍.

      2. We paid 3,380 for two nights. I however noticed that the prices have changed right now. I believe the price might have been reduced due to reduced booking caused by Covid.
        Have you tried booking?
