A truly creative, colourful and inspiring place! A true display of skills too. It’s definitely worth a visit  even though the drive there post the rains is on quite bad road. Please don’t let this stop you from going though.

The bridge is worth walking across too.

They are very thoughtful about where purchased items will be taken in order to ensure they are packed securely if it’s for international travel.

Such a cool place and a great alternative trip out from Nairobi vs the usual options if you are there only for a short time. So glad we did it - well worth the drive out. The glass blowing workshop was fascinating - we could have stood and watched for hours. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The glass is beautiful and I was unable to resist buying some to stick into my already overfull baggage. It survived and I’ll be back for more next time I’m in town. I’d love one of your tables but doubt it’ll I be able to fit that in my carry on! Wee coffee shop a real bonus and the very good coffee was exceptionally welcome.

Stayed at the Pool House close to the glass blowing and had an incredible stay, we didn’t want to leave. The ‘Gaudi’ house was incredibly designed and so quirky. The pool refreshing but great for families.
We took part in the glass blowing experience for 4 people, were professionally guided to make 1 piece each of our choosing.
Thoroughly recommend the experience!!
