House of Waine
This luxury boutique hotel is located in Karen, off Bogani Road. Formerly, House of Waine was a family house. It now serves as a luxury hotel with rooms named after the theme used in furnishing them. For example, the Manyatta has a portrait of a Maasai warrior and it is therefore aptly named after a Maasai homestead- a manyatta. Bustani is a garden room with spectacular view of the garden while Pwani has a coastal theme.
