overview

Set in 2.5 acres of lush gardens, House of Waine is a colonial-style boutique hotel located in a peaceful suburb in Nairobi. The hotel provides a serene gateway in a tranquil setting, while still remaining close enough to the hustle and bustle of the city. Offering great value and exceptional service, House of Waine is an ideal place to enjoy a pre- or post-safari stop over.

See wildlife in the Nairobi National Park and the Daphne Sheldrick wildlife sanctuary, visit the nearby Giraffe Center or explore the bustling and vibrant city of Nairobi. There are a number of galleries and museums to visit for an insight into local culture and history, or simply relax at the hotel where you can enjoy an elegant high tea.
