To those coming to Thika for the very first time, I recommend this place for your accommodation, it is an amazing place with a very serene environment, unlike other accommodations around and the rent is also pocket friendly. Equipped with the best rooms, fully equipped with amenities such as wardrobes, etc., unlimited Wi-Fi and study villas. Security is also the best from a known security company in Kenya. Try it and prove me wrong!!
