The story behind
the farm.
A working farm and forest retreat, run by the same people who work the land — not a resort dressed up to look like one.
Real farm. Real trails.
Real food. Real tranquillity.
Teacrest Farmstead is a working farm and forest retreat in the Kiambu highlands. We offer a genuine connection to the highlands, wholesome farm-style meals, and the space to simply breathe.
This isn't a resort or a theme park: expect unpredictable weather, steep hills, muddy boots, and the kind of quiet that only comes from actually being in the highlands — not looking at a picture of them.
Every stay, meal, and tour is run by the same people who work the land. The forest and waterfall trails, the garden, and the dam are all part of the same farm, not separate attractions bolted on afterward.

Real farm. Real trails.
A working farm and forest retreat offering a genuine connection to the highlands, wholesome farm-style meals, and the space to simply breathe.
Not a resort. Not a theme park.
No manicured golf courses, no glossy lobbies. Expect unpredictable weather, steep hills, muddy boots, and profound quiet.
Four things we won't compromise on.
Everything at Teacrest, from the trail briefings to the lunch table, is built around these.
Real Farm
A working tea and produce farm first — the animals, the crops, and the trails are our livelihood, not a backdrop.
Real Trails
Every hike is guided by experienced local staff through tea rows, forest, and the waterfall trail — genuinely uneven ground.
Real Food
Seasonal, home-style cooking served family-style at the farmhouse table — the same meals we'd cook for ourselves.
Real Tranquillity
No schedules to rush through. Colouring challenges, quiet afternoons, and a sundowner with nowhere else to be.
