Tucked away amongst the trees in a peaceful, private, secluded spot, it’s the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and escape the ordinary.
With sustainability at its heart, we’ve created a space that boasts all the comforts of home, but with a twist.

No TV here, we’re all about connection, but we’ve got unlimited Wi-Fi and a projector ( for your device with HDMI or VGA output) and a bluetooth soundbar/sub for your beats, movie nights or the big game.
The entire space is available for use both indoors and out, including a generous grassed area and "The Forest" across the footbridge. We just ask you to respect the property and the land for others to enjoy after you.

My family love the place, a funky, techy, clean and comfortable cabin. With a touch of eerie backyard that have an old swing and dark playground that looks like a setting of a horror movie. Very Instagrammable. Too bad we haven't stayed longer because we arrived late leave the next morning. Friendly host and good location too.Highly recommended.
The Nest was a fantastic place to stay, its as cool as it looks in the photos. Communication with Nic the host was easy and I always received prompt replies to my questions

One of the coolest (and most unique) places we’ve ever seen or stayed in! Super fun decor, very clean, great amenities (laundry facilities, outdoor grill, nicely outfitted kitchen and lovely bath products)! Quiet, private, and walking distance from town and the beach! Didn’t want to leave! Such a great place! 5 stars for sure!
