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.
