House of Waine is a family owned and run property and this is reflected in the name Waine which is made up of the initials of the family members. Originally a family house, it was lovingly converted to a boutique hotel and eventually opened in 2004. The interior design takes its cue from the Matriarch of the family and is imbued with a timeless elegance much like her.

A beautiful Boutique Hotel near Nairobi.

A small, beautifully maintained hotel with individual room names and decor. The staff was attentive, the grounds of the hotel were immaculate. Dinning room food very good, service excellent. Everyone made you feel at home. Just what you need after a long flight from the USA.
