For your ultimate screen-free relaxation please note that The Nest does not have TV and the wifi can be sporadic and unreliable due to its distance from the main router.
You will be emailed before your arrival with the self check-in instructions.
No smoking is permitted in the suite.
Potential for noise: Please note that there can be traffic noise from occasional trucks and cars passing by on the Rheenendal Road which is 30m from the Nest, children in the playground across from the small dam, frogs, chickens and even monkeys passing by on the telephone lines.
Housekeeping: as a very small guesthouse with self catering accommodation only we rarely get asked for housekeeping so we have just part time staff that work hourly when required. Please try to arrange in advance if you need housekeeping or let one of us know if you need a change of towels, bin or anything else.
