Community
Our community is made up of creators, entrepreneurs, remote workers, and free spirits from all walks of life, aged anywhere between 26 and 67. We've welcomed over 28 nationalities (and counting), united not by where we're from, but by a shared curiosity, openness, and desire to live differently.
Some are building startups, some are writing books, and some are taking a break from the grind — but all of us are here to connect, grow, and experience Africa with intention. Whether it’s sharing meals under the stars, co-working side by side, or planning the next adventure together, we’re building more than a network; we’re building an authentic global family.
We’re always ready to explore. From the beaches of Lamu to the buzz of Nairobi, we choose locations that inspire creativity, connection, and a slower pace of life — and our community follows with open hearts and open minds.

Westlands
Set in the peaceful, green suburb of Lavington, our Nairobi co-living home blends city living with a calm, residential feel. Known for its tree-lined streets, boutique cafes, and safe, walkable neighborhoods, Lavington is one of Nairobi’s most sought-after areas — and for good reason.
We offer thoughtfully designed private apartments (with two-bedroom units available upon request) that are perfect for remote workers seeking both comfort and community. Within the property, you’ll find everything you need:
– A wellness salon and massage center for your self-care rituals
– A fully equipped fitness studio with instructor-led sessions
– A cozy on-site restaurant serving freshly prepared, hearty meals
– A flower shop to bring a little more beauty into your space (or someone else's)
Outside your door, Lavington offers easy access to the best of Nairobi. Take a morning jog or afternoon walk through Lavington Green or the scenic Arboretum. Grab your laptop and enjoy great coffee at local favorites like Artcaffe or Java House, or explore the nearby neighborhoods of Kilimani, Westlands, and Karen for everything from rooftop bars to Nairobi’s buzzing music scene.
Explore Kenyan culture with a visit to the Nairobi National Museum, or head out on a day trip to see giraffes up close at the Giraffe Centre or elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. For nature lovers, you’re just a short drive from Karura Forest, where you can bike or hike through tranquil trails.
With us, you're plugged into city life — but with the breathing room to slow down and settle in. This is more than a place to stay; it’s your Nairobi home base for work, wellness, and exploration.
