The House
The House
A historic home, thoughtfully restored and exclusively yours.
Hidden within five acres of mature gardens. There are no shared spaces and no schedules. Just complete privacy, generous space and the quiet luxury of feeling entirely at home.
Since 1936
A house with a history
Built in 1936 on the original Karen Blixen coffee estate, Hamilton House has quietly witnessed the changing story of Karen for almost a century.
Thoughtfully restored, it remains a home, rich in character, gently modernised and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Every corner
There's room for every moment
Morning coffee on the veranda. Long lunches beneath the trees. A book in the snug.
As the day unfolds, the house invites everyone to find their own favourite corner before coming together again around the table.
Quietly self-sufficient
Run on sun, fed from the garden
Solar power, fresh produce from the kitchen garden and locally sourced ingredients are simply part of daily life here.
The house has been created to work in harmony with its surroundings; it is simply how the house has been cared for.
Inside
Elegant, but never formal. A home to settle into rather than a hotel to check in to.
Our privacy
Discretion comes naturally
As a private home, Hamilton House values privacy above all else. Every booking is handled with complete discretion, and your personal information is always treated in confidence.
