What is Blue Post Hotel & Chania Falls?

Blue Post Hotel is an old colonial-era stopover on the Thika road, and its grounds are the access point for Chania Falls. The falls tumble over a rocky, tree-lined cliff in front of the hotel restaurant. A gated walkway leads down to the base of the falls for a fee.

This is a much gentler waterfall experience than Fourteen Falls. The hotel has a restaurant, free parking and gardens, making it a practical family stop. Chania Falls can be combined with the nearby Thika Falls, which are also on the hotel grounds.

0–2 years :: Good :: The hotel grounds are stroller-friendly, but the walkway to the falls may not be. | 3–5 years :: Good :: The falls are viewable from the top; the walkway needs supervision. | 6–9 years :: Great :: Short, accessible waterfall experience. | 10–12 years :: Great :: Easy add-on to a Thika day trip. | 13+ years :: Good :: Fine for a relaxed stop.
