As you are driving out of town from Najjera II to Kiira, a left turn downwards just after Centenary Bank’s ATMs on this road gets you onto the Najjera Buwate road which is currently being upgraded.
It is as you slope down this road that you will come across Total Buwate which is the landmark after which you will take another left turn, get onto the tarmac road just below the station and get closer to reaching the new hidden gem of a getaway in the neighborhood that the Streamside is.
Still another left turn at the end of this tarmac road will get you slopping down to a rather quiet valley with a few scattered fancy homes and a number of busy construction sites.
It is after you have crossed the stream in the bottom of the valley that you will take that final turn to your right that will lead you straight to the Streamside at the end of that close.
Here you will be welcomed by the tranquility and relaxation that you start to experience as soon as you are in the parking lot of this getaway.
This rather artistic, nature embedded and nature sensitive getaway which will leave a lasting memory in your mind lies quietly on either side of a free flowing stream that adds to the feel of a real gateway.
Just as you get in there is an ornamental plants and flowers shop that will leave many a lover of flowers and ornamental plants in awe.
Adorned with beautiful cottages that ideally should be for honeymooners, a night or more at this place will leave every guest who experiences the fine hospitality they offer asking for more.
Unique amenities
Embedded in nature, the variety of flowers, trees and ornamental plants in this place are refreshing to the mind and create a very calming and tranquil environment that will leave one not only rejuvenated but consider staying longer as well.
And if you love flowers and ornamental plants to the core, there is a flower shop for you to walk away with some of your choice in quite amazing vases as you leave.
When it comes to food, your taste buds will water at the thought of the foods served on the rich menu at the restaurant and bar in this place. From meats that leave you yearning for more to vegetable dishes that make you want to try them again, the in house Chef does put in a great shift to make sure customers get the best.
On top of this, they boast a well stocked bar with all the fine wines, liquors and cocktails you make ask for not forgetting the juices for those who love juicing in all it’s dimensions.
