House of Waine has 11 rooms, all individually decorated and named, giving them character and style. It is close enough to main attractions—like the Giraffe Manor and the Karen Blixen museum, as well as the David Sheldrick Elephant Trust—but still maintains your privacy once you are back at the hotel. It has magnificent service and allows a glimpse into the Kenyan culture of hospitality.
