Gibb's Farm, Karatu, Tanzania

The last visit to the Farm was for a single night. This visit for two days was too short. The cottage tranquility, interior and garden spaces integration is wonderful.

The Cottages

THE NEWLY UPGRADED FARM COTTAGE:
A Sanctuary for the Senses

Building on A Tradition: Celebrating an 80-year-old Legacy

The newly upgraded Farm Cottages echo the original style of Gibb’s Farm guest cottages, Building on A Tradition.  A number of improvements have been made in response to suggestions by loyal clients: more windows to bring the gardens and Ngorongoro Forest Reserve into view; larger bathrooms; greater privacy; and access to the surrounding flower gardens from private verandahs.

The 18 newly completed Farm Cottages mark the beginning of a new era for GIBB’S FARM. All cottages feature rich wooden floors and classic interiors with wraparound windows. En-suite garden bathrooms offer twin basins, luxurious bathtubs and indoor/ outdoor showers. A wraparound fireplace warms the bathroom and living area.

A Sense of Place & History

Gibb’s Farm is currently undergoing major expansions, upgrades and improvements.  However, this is a tempered improvement process, not a complete transformation in any way.  Gibb’s Farm is deeply committed to honoring the historical value of the Farm, and maintaining a sense of place; a sense of history.
