Cottage holiday rentals in Karen

This is an amazing place for a getaway from the busy life of Nairobi. Located on the edge of the Ngong Hills, the scenery here is beautiful and it really is a quiet and serene location. The house itself is spacious with multiple seating areas and multiple bedrooms - the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here (6 people) and wished we would have booked for longer.

the place is clean, clean water, closer to main road. everything as in the pictures, good check in and check out times. I would recommend this for people looking for a secure hosting.

Very idyllic location, good place to disconnect and chill.

An amazing space with lots of greenery and outdoor space, hospitable staff members, close proximity to the giraffe Center. I would highly recommend this space for a couple of single traveller.

Elizabeth’s place was a perfect get away spot for our family! Elizabeth was also very responsive and willing to help us solve any issues. We loved the house and the grounds were peaceful and very well maintained. The kids particularly loved the swings and slide out in the yard. The area is not far from the forest so the energy was quite calm, but it did feel far away. It’s easy enough to get around with an Uber, but not very walkable. If you’re looking for a calm, safe and peaceful getaway from the bustle of the city, do not hesitate.

This is such an amazing find, great staff, great host. Not too far away from town but such a. Good place to rest and take in the amazing views

The guesthouse was well laid out, with comfortable chairs, various beds and effective hot water. The internet was excellent. Having a dedicated washing machine and clothes line was very much appreciated. George and Edwin were wonderful hosts. The compound is quite secure and peaceful. It did not take long to get used to the roosters crowing and on Sundays, the choir of the church off to the north could be heard singing uplifting hymns and songs. Access through the front gates was easy and the address is well recorded on the maps for online deliveries such as Uber Eats or Glovo. Similarly easy to organise ridesharing. The location provides easy access to Runda, Gigiri, Village Market, Two Rivers and beyond. It is also close to Kiambu Road for quick access in either direction.

Nice , Quaint and Quiet

Great place. The host is very hospitable and the place is easily accessible. Very clean and tidy place.

Loved the charm. The only thing is for wherever we wanted to go, we needed a driver because the suburb of Karen was further out from the city center. Otherwise we had a great stay and walkable to Boho eatery and with a driver the elephant and giraffe sanctuary were close by.

I had a wonderful stay! The place was cozy and surrounded by beautiful greenery, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I especially appreciated the fresh roses on the kitchen counter — such a thoughtful touch that made it feel even more special. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, homey getaway.

We had a great stay at Jo's cottage. Everything was as described, and Jo was very responsive and helpful. Property supervisor Christopher who lives nearby is lovely and helpful, too. The only confusion we had when finding the place resulted from the pin on airbnb not being in the right spot (which matters because there's no actual address). This should be an easy fix. Overall, great value--highly recommended.

Peter and Nikola received us very well and were always responsive to us during our entire stay. The place is clean and quiet, perfect for both long-termmand short term stays. We hope to be back! Many, many thanks!

I love the outdoors, just looking into the green space gave me a total sense of relaxation. Every detail of the interior is well thought and of good taste. The staff was very hospitable and friendly. The picnic was a highlight! I would definitely recommend a visit to this breathtaking cottage.

Wonderful cottage in beautiful grounds, recently renovated with a great new bathroom. Delightful hosts who made sure we were right at home. It’s a peaceful green part of town that feels almost in the wild, but right nearby Nairobi’s best restaurant and next to stunning new distillery Shagalabagala. Highly recommended and would definitely come again.

We loved our stay, the place is near everything you may need. Very near Waterfront. The host is very responsive. We shall be back.
