Our room above the conference venue was amazing however the lighting outside, leading to our room at night was lacking. Meals were average , but generous. All in all a good relaxing weekend

A good family option for staying in central Drakenberg near the park hike to Sphinx. The hotel has cabins; ours was a round traditional with thatched conic roof. Good food and a few option and views from the complex. A bit outdated but with a traditional old hotel aura.

Stayed at The Nest Hotel because we took part in a lawn bowls coaching course. The course was exceptionally well run and very professional. The Hotel was so conveniently placed and was very clean and comfortable.

Easy to get to on tarred roads this gem of an old fashioned hotel was exactly the place for our fiftieth wedding anniversary. Joined by family from all over we had the best week ever. Our group starred with 13 and stretched to 25...and we all agreed The Nest was brilliant. Great staff ,clean warm rooms,and excellent food. The spacious grounds and children activities were a real bonus.

Rooms are old and need work, not much engagement from staff, the property needs work too. Owners came across as friendly. Not much variety for non-meat eaters and breakfast options are limited.

I booked in April and expected a lot better- initial room was small, cold and broken, the room moved to had water issues, broken toilet roll holders, door locks. The place is old & run down. The food very average with minimal options. Drinks very expensive.
