House Of Waine

House Of Waine is a family owned and run property and this is reflected in the name Waine which is made up of the initials of the family members. Originally a family House Of Waine, 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.

Room Types

• 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
