A guest favourite

Magpie Villa

Named after the bird whose warbling song is one of the most recognisable sounds of the Australian bush, Magpie villa is a favourite with our guests — and it’s easy to see why.

Large windows open onto the private garden, filling the villa with natural light. A comfortable king bed sits alongside a spacious lounge and dining area, giving the whole space an easy, open feel.

The kitchenette is fully equipped: full-size fridge, hot plates, microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee machine, plus everything you need for a cook-your-own breakfast — eggs, bacon, bread for toasting, cereal, porridge, milk, juice, tea and coffee. The bathroom features a large walk-in shower, custom vanity and toilet.

Step outside onto Magpie’s long verandah, joining directly with Cockatoo’s next door — a sunlit spot for morning coffee or evening drinks as the light fades.

Every villa comes with reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans and a wood-fired heater (April to October), free parking at your door, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

A Guest Favourite

Drenched in natural light, it’s easy to see why Magpie villa is a firm favourite at the Nest at Gundaroo.

This single level villa features a sun-drenched verandah that connects directly to neighbouring Cockatoo, making either the ideal choice for families or groups of friends travelling together.

Located just 30 minutes from Canberra in historic Gundaroo, NSW, Magpie villa combines art, comfort and connection for an unforgettable stay.

We had a lovely stay, celebrating our second wedding anniversary. Thank you and we plan to visit again.

For The Love of Nature

Here at the Nest, we love nature, and what better way to celebrate our unique wildlife than to collaborate with celebrated South Coast artist, Jess Hutchison. 

Jess’s artwork brings our villas to life, capturing the character of each villa’s namesake. 

Drift off to sleep and wake each morning surrounded by the very bird that inspired your room’s name – a unique and beautiful reminder of where you are.

We absolutely loved staying at the Nest!! The accommodation was spotless, the provisions were fantastic and the artwork is stunning!
