Karen Blixen Cottages & Restaurant – Nairobi




The Karen Blixen Coffee Garden Restaurant and Cottages are located in Karen, Kenya, a beautiful, peaceful suburb approximately 20 miles from downtown Nairobi. The cottages serve as a perfect alternate accommodation to the traditional Nairobi city hotels when visiting the capital city of Kenya during your African safari overnight, Kenya countryside vacation or even on business.

The cottages are located in the midst of one of the oldest formal gardens in Kenya, which have huge jacaranda, candelabra, cactus, bottlebrush, and other trees. Over 200 types of flowers bloom through the year and numerous bird feeders attract hundreds of varieties of birds.

All cottages have a veranda for relaxing while enjoying the birds, butterflies and flowers of the garden. We provide feeders to attract a wide variety of birds and can house as many as 30 guests. Eight of the cottages have individual suites and three have two bedroom suites with a common large sitting room. The honeymoon cottage has a large bedroom and sitting room each with a fireplace.

Each bedroom has a large bathroom with its own shower and bath. Internet connections and phones are available in all rooms. Three cottages have two private suites with a separate dressing room.

Residents can also enjoy twenty-four-hour room service. A private swimming poll and private garden bar are available for a relaxing afternoon or for small group get together. Private outdoor dinner parties by the pool can also be arranged.
