Host Your Perfect Event at Eliper Hotel: A Countryside Setting for Birthdays, Lunches and Private Gatherings Near Nairobi

There is something quietly powerful about choosing the right setting for a celebration. The venue shapes how guests arrive, how they linger over a meal, and how they remember the day long after the last toast has been raised. At Eliper Hotel in Gatanga, Murang’a County, just under two hours from Nairobi, we have built our event experiences around this simple idea: that the best gatherings happen in places that feel both special and effortless. Whether you are marking a milestone birthday, hosting a family reunion, organising a corporate lunch, or planning an intimate private celebration, our affordable event packages are designed to give you a seamless, beautifully hosted day in a serene countryside setting.

Lunch & Grounds Options in the Eliper Hotel events package

Our Events Package, available at Ksh 1,500 per person, has been tailored for birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, and other private gatherings where the focus is on shared moments and lasting memories. The package gives guests access to a thoughtfully prepared selection of delicious food options, spacious event grounds with room for guests to mingle and move freely, and tents to give your setup structure and shelter. Whether you are gathering a close circle of friends for an intimate celebration or welcoming a larger group of family and colleagues, our peaceful atmosphere and warm hospitality combine to turn ordinary occasions into something memorable.

For guests who prefer a more relaxed, outdoor dining experience without the full event scale, our Lunch and Grounds Package offers an equally compelling option at Ksh 1,500 per person. This package gives your group access to our grounds alongside a specially prepared lunch menu, and we are happy to discuss customised menu options to suit dietary preferences, cultural considerations, or the specific tone of your gathering. It is an ideal choice for small corporate teams looking for a midweek change of pace, friend groups planning a leisurely afternoon away from the city, or families wanting an unhurried meal in a setting where children can wander and conversation can stretch as long as the day allows.

A few important clarifications will help you plan your event with confidence. Eliper Hotel provides tents as part of the package, but décor and event styling services are not included; guests are welcome to bring their own stylists or work with vendors of their choice. Any additional services beyond what is listed in the package will attract extra charges, and our team is happy to discuss these with you in advance so there are no surprises on the day. A corkage fee of Ksh 1,000 applies if you wish to bring outside drinks. Cakes, including birthday cakes, are priced separately and will be quoted directly by our Chef and Management based on the design, size, and complexity you have in mind. Advance booking and confirmation are essential, not as a restriction but as our commitment to giving every event the preparation, attention, and care it deserves.

What sets an Eliper celebration apart is the setting itself. Our grounds open onto views of the Aberdares foothills, the air carries the fresh scent of tea and pine, and the pace of the countryside slows everything in the best possible way. Guests arrive from Nairobi, Thika, and beyond, and almost without exception remark on how the drive itself becomes part of the experience: the city fading, the green deepening, and by the time they reach the hotel gates, the celebration already feels as though it has begun. This is the quiet advantage of hosting your event at a countryside hotel rather than a city venue. The environment does much of the work for you, freeing you to focus on your guests rather than the logistics.

If you are beginning to plan a birthday, a corporate lunch, a family gathering, or any private celebration, we would be delighted to walk you through your options.
