All bookings are provided with complimentary breakfast provisions in the form of cook-your-own eggs and bacon, toast/butter/spreads, cereal, milk and orange juice. Our rooms also have tea and coffee. We do not have an on-site commercial kitchen or dining-room/restaurant, so cannot cater to special dietary needs, however there is a small grocery store next door and you are welcome to bring your own preferred food items as each of our villas has a self-contained kitchen.
The Nest has bookings for up to 18 months in advance, so please book and secure your villa/s to avoid disappointment.
