Cottage holiday rentals in Kenya

Tevin's place is a hidden gem. Very comfy and stylishly furnished. Great location on Moi South Lake road, close to meeting venues (hotels) and tourist sites. Also located in a secure gated estate.

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.

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.

Swara ranch was extremely peaceful and beautiful. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful which made moving around and getting things really easy for us. We had such a wonderful time, I wish we could stay longer.

Great location close to the lakefront as described. Also there is Carnellys restaurant nearby. Check-in was smooth and the host was responsive. We enjoyed the brunch at the garden area. Overall good stay! Thank you.

My friends and I ushered in 2025 here. It was a really good place with amazing views of fireworks. The bonfire was always lit and the jacuzzi always hot! Not ideal for more than 4 couples though (unless you don’t mind being in each other’s space). The chef did a fantastic job! 👌

I had a family visit to the facility, and it was one of those memorable vacations. No surprises as everything worked as it's supposed to. The rooms, AC, kitchen, and Internet were all on point. The location is breathtaking from the pool, poolside relaxation, gym, and, more importantly the private access to the beach. The Ola Ola restaurant was also affordable, within the bigger compound, and on point with Swahili Cousine. You don't even have to struggle with utensils..time better spent at the beach. A place to just visit and experience the wonderful side of Kenyan Coast. Dr. FIfi was also very helpful and a great host. Kudos.

I was looking for a home away from home as I was getting ready to make life changes and Kitt's was the perfect place to regroup: green and serene. A treasured experience. 💗

We had an amazing stay at the container cabin house. It's a really well constructed, furnished, and stocked up space that made everything from cooking, relaxing, and socialising very easy and convenient. The rooms were very comfy and cosy to sleep in. The best thing about the experience was the hospitality of the hosts. Kennedy and Siddy were friendly, accommodating, and flexible. They communicated early to make sure we knew how to get there, welcomed us into the space, gave us local recommendations, and accommodated our requests without hesitation. We felt that we had enough privacy while at the same time could reach out to the hosts if we needed anything. It's also in a peaceful area and close to nice restaurants like the Fig & Olive, and not too far from Como Tigoni. Would 100% come back and recommend this to anyone who wants to get out of Nairobi for a while. Thank you so much!

Our family had a fantastic stay - the beach was so close, our kids loved the pool and we enjoyed the sunrise/playing card games at the different view points. Highly recommend!

Evie’s cottage was absolutely delightful. We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful quiet and relaxed time. The cottage is set up really beautifully and comfortably. Nothing amis. Extremely cozy and welcoming. Elijah was always on hand to help if anything was needed or if we had any questions as was Evie. There are heaps of places to visit and eat at around the area and it’s truly a gorgeous piece of Nairobi. The farm area inside the compound was great to explore and we even got fresh milk milked that afternoon. Absolutely recommend this cottage 100% and we will certainly be back! Evie was absolutely lovely and gave us such a lovely welcome, we felt right at home. Thank you so much!

Prisca is that rare Airbnb host - someone who you feel really enjoys hosting others, learning about people and making everyone feel right at home. We (2 adults and 2 kids) had a wonderful time enjoying the pool, playground, ample (gorgeously planted) garden space and a private bonfire in the evening! Prisca, Gabriel and their team did everything they could to help us, from local suggestions to phone numbers of guides forthe destinations we wanted to visit. They could not have been more helpful. The property is secure but very friendly. We let our kids (2 and 5) walk free, and they loved all the dogs and new kitten. It’s an easy 15 minute drive into town - I wouldn’t be put off by the location, because you get beautiful panoramic views of the lake and Mount Longonot from the property. Thanks Prisca and the team for a truly special weekend - we will be back!

Marula cottage was a wonderful serene place to spend a few days. The staff and their attention to detail was great. We felt really cared for and spoilt. Many thanks to Aleem and Soraiya. We will be back for sure.

enjoyed my stay, the place is very clean. Will definitely come back and most importantly refer others.

beautiful location , property and building.. The bed is very comfortable

perfect for short or long get stays. Secure lovely area. clean and tidy

We had a great time staying at Paul’s. An excellent base to explore Nairobi in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood. Hosts were very responsive and check in was great. We are looking forward to coming back.

There’s few places I’ve visited that felt like home. I felt that Hamish and Lindsay put time and effort in ensuring their guests were super comfortable and had everything they needed to enjoy their holiday in Watamu. They provided snorkelling gear, mozzie spray, sunscreen and lots of interesting board games to play. Not to mention my fave Ottolenghi recipe book for some inspo. We really appreciated their well stocked kitchen and library. The house is perfect with several places to meditate and take in the sounds of the ocean. Nora and Arnold are excellent and lovely people who really added to the charm of the place. My 1yr old son loved the kitty’s and all the monkeys, Guinea fowl and monarch butterflies everywhere. When I come to Watamu next, it’ll be to stay at Hamish place.

We had a lovely time at Bibi’s beautiful house overlooking the Ngong hills. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It is worth noting that there are only 3 beds (one double and two singles) not the amount noted in the listing. But it was enough for us and other than that everything was accurately reflected. The veranda is a great place to sit and look out over the beautiful garden. Bibi was also super responsive , proactive and helpful. Thank you and we’ll be back!

Great location for anyone passing through and needing convenience to local amenities. Great customer service as well.

Amazing little getaway, really what human minds need to relax and unwind . I wish I could extend my days but definitely coming back again for a longer stay

Ruth’s place is exactly how it is described, in a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers and fruit trees! Ruth is very nice and accommodating! Definitely worth every penny! Thanks

As always a most wonderful stay at Mawimbi’s slice of paradise. Amazing location literally on the beach. Beautiful living space and the most perfect mix of professional and personal service from Anna. We’d recommend Mawimbi to any one any day. Looking forward to heading back when we can.
