VIEW ALL PRICES

House of Waine is situated on 2.5 acres that blends the elegance of gracious living with the spirit of modern Africa in an exclusive and serene setting. The aim is to provide guests with an experience that exceeds all their expectations of city hotels and is punctuated by personalised, friendly and excellent service and cuisine in beautiful surroundings.
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.House of Waine is the realisation of a generations long dream that all started with our maternal Grandfather, an entrepreneur who started a “mkahawa” or coffee shop in Mwiria Village in Meru in the 1950’s.

Room

There are 11 bedrooms that are all individually styled and then named to reflect their different themes ensuring that no two are the same. 9 bedrooms can be single, double or twin rooms. Each bedroom features a large marble bathroom with plenty of natural light. Most bathrooms have a separate shower and bath (with the exception of 2 which feature only a bath) and all have a complete range of toiletries, hairdryers and bathroom telephone.

Manyatta

The room is home to a portrait of a Maasai Moran (Warrior) by local artist, Phillipa Marrion. As the Maasai term for home is Manyatta, it is only fitting therefore that the room is so named.

Safari

Safari, from the Arabic ‘safa’, means a long journey in Swahili. It was first used in the English language by Sir Richard Burton, the famous explorer. To us, Safari refers to our room that with its décor pays tribute to past and present explorers such as you.

Ziwa

Ziwa, the Swahili word for Lake, aptly describes this room where the abundance of turquoise reflects a shimmering lake.

Tembo

It is said that an elephant never forgets. Astay in Tembo (elephant in Swahili), will be an unforgettable experience with its different hues and textures reflecting of the elephant hide and its natural habitat.

Victoria

Victoria the quaint room and the only one with a working fireplace is reminiscent of the Victorian era. The main feature of the room is our wrought iron four poster bed and the elegant claw foot tub.

Kanini

Kanini, our smallest room, is child friendly and interconnects with Makan.

Makan

Makan, our Indian themed room is filled with warm shades of the red chili pepper and omate fabrics. Makan pays homage to a community that has had and continues to have a pivotal role in the development of our multicultural country.

Pwani

Our coastal themed room with its calming sea blues and greens invites you to rest, relax and rejuvenate before and after your journey.

Bustani

Our garden room, Bustani, invites the outside in, through its fabrics and with its direct access to our expansive gardens.

Sahara

The golden sands of the Sahara are captured in the objects d’arts, artwork and the fabrics of this room.

Malaika

Malaika is the grand dame of the house. Designed by an equally grand dame, our mother, who was known for her grace and elegance and her love for the colour black which is evident in all the furnishings in this room.
