Oh my the staff here are amazing. We are vegan and they made us fresh vegan samosas daily and vegan veg stir fry for dinner. They completely went above and beyond to accommodate us, even venturing out to buy soy milk for us. The only issue we had was in our cottage. Overall it was wonderful but the shower had a leak and the flooring was soggy. If the owners of this property could properly fix the shower I’d give this a 5 star.

The Severine Cottages have cozy beds and an eco-friendly vibe. Very quiet location near to many of the activities one would like to do in the Karen suburb of Nairobi (visit the Giraffe Center and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage; tour Nairobi National Park; shop at Langata Link, Kazuri Beads, The Souk, etc.; and eat at excellent restaurants like Talisman or Tamarind/Tamambo). The staff were fantastic. The only glitch was that they did not have our reservation through Expedia for some reason and our larger cottage was not available. They offered me and my father two separate smaller cottages, which worked well. There is an onsite restaurant, which offered a good breakfast. You can also have lunch or dinner on your own. My one recommendation was that, while the entrees were good, the side dishes could be upped a bit in quality. They weren't bad at all, and very plentiful, but for the price, they could step up their game with just a little extra effort in taste.

Beautiful place to stay. My wife and I stayed there during our honeymoon before and after our safari and was not disappointed. Very friendly staff and clean property. The on-site restaurant was fair priced and tasty. Can not think of anything bad about my experience there

Lovely stay

Wonderful relaxing couple of nights before heading on safari. The chalets are lovely and really well appointed and the location is quiet on the edge of the city but great for the National Park, Giraffe Center and elephant orphanage. Service was good and there is a little bar and restaurant where we got some really tasty food and then sat around the fire with a beer.

Clean, safe, comfortable, quiet, and great!

Severine Cottages was a hidden gem in the affluent Karen neighborhood of Nairobi. It is a short (less than 10 Minutes) drive to the Giraffe Center and Nairobi National Park. It is quiet and each room is its own cottage with updated appliances and amenities. The restaurant on site is great too - fair prices and delicious food with many choices. All the staff were so kind and welcoming. I felt very safe the entire time, early-30s female traveling alone. I highly recommend Severine Cottages for your next Nairobi trip!

Loved being there

Liking it is absolutely dependent on expectations! We really enjoyed being there. We had travelled into an interesting Kenya....but a Kenya without hot showers or permanent shelters....and the Severine was like a gift to the weary! Lovely people, too! Absolutely recommend it.
