Rivertrees Country Inn

Experience & Activities   

The inn is a charming country estate that was once an old coffee farm and still retains the nostalgic air of a well-loved homestead. Sprawling ten acres of fertile greenery, the grounds are a natural extension of Mount Meru’s sloping foothills and offer a sanctuary for the birds and wildlife indigenous to the area.  

Elegantly rustic cottages are dotted along the river and in thickets of tall trees, while lush lawns and birdsong make for a peaceful and picturesque setting. Set in the heart of an area rich in nature reserves, montane forests and vibrant village culture, the scope for exploration is endless. 

The restaurant concocts tasty meals of garden-fresh ingredients and old family recipes, as well as oven-fired pizzas and the best of the region’s locally grown coffees. Delicious candle-lit dinners are served by the warmth of the fireplace or under the stars and the watchful eyes of resident owls. 

Accommodations         

• River House: With all the style and understated elegance of the owner’s private pied-a-terre, the River House is well suited to those with discerning taste, and who value secluded space and exclusivity. Two ample bedrooms and a lavish living room can comfortably host a group of four, while the wrap-around veranda and its river views offer a peaceful setting for repose. 
• River Cottage: Snugly set in forested thickets and perched high on the riverbank, two spacious cottages are designed to complement the privacy and seclusion of their natural element. A terrace opening onto the forest and the outdoor rain showers invite inhabitants to soak in the beauty of their surroundings and appreciate the wildlife animating the canopy overhead. 
• The Farm House: The Farm House was the heart of the coffee estate before it first became a B&B and still retains the air of a much-loved home adorned with family antiques and old portraits on its walls. Containing four en-suite rooms, each with its own entrance, the house can comfortably accommodate families or groups of up to ten, with plenty of space for lounging on its vast veranda or curling up in front of the fireplace. 
• The Garden Rooms: The delightful Garden Rooms are each uniquely and tastefully furnished and yield views across acres of lush lawns from the shelter of fertile foliage. Several are adjoined for families and friends, while others offer couples the exclusivity and romance of their own private space. The Rivertrees reservation team makes a point of allocating each room according to the needs of their individual guests and takes care to ensure that the right match is made for the perfect stay.
