I'm pleased to read the reviews of House of Waine are still as I remember. We stayed at HoW back in 2005 when they just opened. It was my husbands' 30th birthday surprise and we Loved it! It was fabulous customer service and they created a very special private dining area for us on the day. It was very romantic,... More

We stayed for two nights and were overwhelmed by the attentive service and wonderful accommodation. Everything here is first class. We even arrived back from our day out with muddy shoes and the staff took them from us and cleaned them. Decorated in decadent leather and timber, this place has a warm and inviting feeling. The food is sensational and... More

From the welcome to departure, House Of Waine is a refuge from a sometimes hectic travel schedule. There is an atmosphere of relaxation, regrouping and restoration as every need is attended to one hundred percent. The grounds are amazing - the rooms superb. No attention to detail is missed - highly recommended!

Kenya is new to me, but since becoming a regular traveller to Nairobi in 2013, I have been delighted by my experiences at House of Waine. The location is ideal, close enough to the city, but set away in a green and quiet area close to many attractions. But it is not the location that thrills, but the House itself... More

Was a very good experience. People are friendly and very helpful. Food is of a good standard, and the rooms are big and spacious. Wasn't a lot at the house but when there the staff was ready to help with anything.

It is away from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi, but near Giraffe, Manor, Karen Blixen Museum, bead factory, elephant orphanage and more. The service s definitely 5*; the staff goes out of their way to provide and please. The grounds are... More

I stay in Nairobi often, and generally I am impressed with the standards of accommodation and the attitudes of hotel staff when I visit Kenya. House Of Waine, however, takes this to a whole new level in every way. I can honestly say that I have never stayed anywhere better! Set in a quiet location in Karen in a beautiful... More
