Cottage 1 with private garden

About this stay

A unique detached 2-bedroom plus living room setup at Jungle Oasis, in the leafy heart of Karen. The unit is made up of three small cottages, two bedroom cottages and a central living room and kitchen cottage, all sitting right next to each other and completely private to your group.

Perfect for families or groups of 4 to 5 (an extra bed is available on request). The space comes with large wooden verandas and a private garden big enough to play games or sit and enjoy the sun, plus access to the shared heated pool.

Each bedroom has a private bathroom with twin sinks and a large instant-heat shower. Beds can be arranged as a king-size double or two singles, just let us know your preference before arrival. Each veranda has its own seating area and lots of potted plants.

The living room and kitchen cottage is the heart of the space: a large couch, a six-seater dining table, a well-stocked kitchen, and a Pinterest-inspired coffee bar with kettle, espresso maker and complimentary coffee, tea and sugar. African and mid-century modern decor throughout.

"Beautifully kept cottage in a stunning compound. Loved the espresso bar in the morning and the bird life everywhere. Sidney was an excellent communicator and the staff were warm and helpful."

"A real hidden gem. Quiet, secure, and full of character. The two bedrooms gave us plenty of privacy and the kitchen was well stocked. Would absolutely return."
