Cottage vacation 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.

Perfect place! You won’t regret your stay. You have the best views of the lake and the mornings are best for it. In the night the lawn is perfectly set up for star gazing. Sarah is wonderful and will support you end to end. We ended up mistakenly using a cooper tray wrongfully as a base for fire that damaged it a bit :( sorry Sarah.

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!

Mesmerized by the place ..Amazing...

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.

The cottage is very well located and perfectly equipped for spending a few days. Eunice is very responsive. Very comfortable bed and perfect location for a stay around Naivasha. We felt so good there that we stayed one more night.

Comfortable cabin with a beautiful garden and amazing views of Mount Kenya. Really close to rock climbing, shopping centres, and restaurants in Nanyuki, The Ol Pejeta conservancy and Ngare Ndare forest where you can hike and swim in natural pools depending on the season. Great for a weekend getaway :)

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

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!

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

My family and I had a great stay at The Kite cottage in Watamu. Sue is a great host, clear communication from the start and great recommendations for local activities. The house staff, Wasi, Josephine, Patrick and the guard Joseph all made us feel right at home and assisted us throughout our stay. Patrick, the chef, made delicious meals for us each day and helped us source fresh seafood. The pool was refreshing in the heat and the cottage is a short walk from Garoda Beach. Tuk Tuk’s were parked nearby for trips into town. Definitely recommend the Dhow trip in the guide book. Next visit we will likely stay somewhere with air conditioning, as the heat made it difficult for the baby to sleep but definitely recommend The Kite to others visiting Watamu.

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.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at the Zarafa House. Having booked the whole house as a family, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Ann is an amazing host, always ready with tips and assistance with all matters. The chef, Godlizan, made great food for us everyday, and Diani beach is packed with great restaurants, diving, boat trips, etc. The only little thing that wasn't great was that some of the neighbouring hotels would play music a little loud on evenings. Apart from that, we had a great time.

it was a pleasure staying at Tequila sunrise, the forest Cabana was intimate, clean and spacious. beautiful scenery and the staff were all very welcome. I will stay here again.

Peaceful place. Beautiful scene
