“A large colonial-style villa set in picturesque gardens in the quiet suburb of Karen. This family-run property features traditionally dressed rooms, filled with antiques, the best of which have four-posters. Expect a large pool, dedicated staff and easy access to Nairobi National Park.”

House of Waine
House of Waine is a cool retreat from the bustle of the Kenyan capital, located on the former coffee plantation of Karen Blixen (see the hand-drawn map on the grand staircase) and convenient for safari flights from nearby Wilson Airport. Expect a homely atmosphere, tropical gardens, and unflappable staff.
