The Nest

The Nest is a small detached place on George Avenue, adults only, arranged around a brick-and-timber deck with a slatted pergola over the top of it.

A brick-walled path runs past a tree to the entrance. It is all on one level, with accessible parking outside. Being detached, the deck and the courtyard nook belong to whoever is staying and nobody else.

Cream sofas, kitchenette behind

The living area is open plan, cream sofas facing one another with a kitchenette behind them and sliding doors to outside. The kitchen handles proper cooking: an oven, a stovetop, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, kitchenware, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The scale of the place does suggest you will not be feeding a crowd.

Wooden frame, red cushions

The bedroom has a wooden bed frame on wood floors with red accent cushions, and the beds are the extra-long sort. Linen, towels and toiletries are provided. The bathroom has a round mirror above a vessel sink and a walk-in shower.

The pergola deck

The deck is brick and timber under its slatted roof, partly screened by foliage, with patio chairs and a table on it. An outdoor nook alongside holds bar stools and small round tables. There is an outdoor fireplace, a braai, a sun terrace and a garden.

George Avenue and the water

Green bicycles with baskets stand on the lawn, and the sandy lagoon shore is a short ride away, with small boats moored out on the flat water. Pets are allowed. Fruit and breakfast can be brought to the room. There are guest houses nearby for anyone wanting more service than that.

Two adults

It is adults only and compact, and it suits a couple who want a deck, a kitchen and quiet.
