“Fabulous stay”
We had a large room and the breakfast was excellent. Lorraine and Andre were terrific hosts and made us feel at home. The location was ideal for what we were looking to do and Andre recommended a restaurant at the Wine Box which was delicious and within walking distance. We also loved patting the dogs.

“In Nairobi, best place you will find ever! If you want to be truly happy, you must to stay here”
Rate: 100 on 10!! I loved everything at Florance's rest house!! It was the best place where we stayed in Kenya (others were great, but not amazing as this one!) Lorraine & André are the best, they are amazing! They truly made us feel at home, welcomed and even more, really cared (a real couple of angels). Their place is gorgeous, warm, perfectly located, clean, and it has some small details that makes the place a great one. They offer to you the best breakfast (delicious, fresh, generous!) We ended our visit to Kenya at Florance's rest house and it was the perfect way to do it, the icing on the cake! If you are planning to go to Nairobi, this should absolutely be your place to stay! Thanks André, thanks Lorraine, we said "goodbye" to Kenya with a big smile and joyful heart because you.

“A perfect blend of comfort and exceptional hospitality in a prime Karen location.”
The hosts were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. The à la carte breakfast was truly outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had in Africa. The house is perfectly located, offering a cozy yet modern atmosphere. After staying here, I can confidently say I’ll never return to Westlands or Parklands—Karen offers a much more relaxed experience with no traffic issues to worry about. Highly recommend this place!

11 out of 10! The owners are incredibly welcoming and caring. Breakfast is freshly prepared according to individual wishes. The place is calm and cosy with everything you need and easy to reach. It's perfect to chill, relax and cuddle with well-behaved doggies.

“Amazing dogfriendly place”
What a great place to stay! Andre and Lorraine are amazing hosts. They are always up for a small chat and the breakfast in the morning is delicious. The staff is super friendly and very committed. The house is located in a very safe neighbourhood and they have a great garden to relax. We were travelling with our dog and were super happy we found this place. Our dog had the time of his life playing around with their dog Zina and Zina also enjoyed a small pet from us.
