Still our favorite place.
It took us five and a half years to come and relax here again and this time we stayed for a full week. And it still wasn't long enough! One just cannot get enough of the silence, tranquility and enchanting views. Fantastic.

Tranquility and the scenery are beautiful.
The area is absolutely beautiful. Maybe you should just let future tourists know that a ± 80km dirt road will be driven. The unit could have been a little cleaner. There is dust mainly in the attic and cobwebs everywhere. A light outside can also help a bit in the evening, because it's pitch dark there. The unit is well equipped, and we lacked nothing. The shower was a bit of a challenge though. Will visit again, this time we know what awaits us.

The setting is stunning, but dust covered all surfaces.

So sorry to hear that.
We are pet friendly and dog hairs are dog hairs and not always that easy to get rid of. I will put dog covers on the beds for guests that like to sleep with their pets, it should solve the problem.
Thanks for letting me know.

Incredible scenery in absolute privacy.
The Bird's Nest / Bridal Veil chalets are amazing. It's in the middle of the mountains with no other people in sight. We really enjoyed watching the waterfall and stars from our bed, sitting under the waterfall, walking in the mountains and sitting in front of the fireplace at night. Absolute rest for your soul.

Unbelievably beautiful environment.
Very nice stay - environment is incredibly beautiful. Better signage and directions would be a plus. There is no signal, and the nearest town is Himeville - about an hour's drive. There are also no GPS coordinates - so drive by feel. There was no one to welcome us and it made us feel a bit insecure. The chalet was unlocked and the key was inside on the table, but no note. No problem if there is no welcome committee, but leave a note to make the visitors feel welcome.

Restores the soul!
The Bird's Nest will always have a very special place in my heart. It was where I was able to reconnect with my family after many years apart. A lot of misunderstandings were settled and a beautiful relationship was established once again. Bird's Nest really is the perfect spot if you need stillness and nature to retore your soul. Thanks Merlyn and Linton for your hospitality and friendliness. You were awesome hosts!

Annolien and Mel, it was our absolute pleasure to have two such lovely people stay. That all family misunderstandings were also washed away made our hearts warm. May your journey together now be a joyful one. God Bless.

Heaven on earth.
If you, like us, want to experience absolute silence and to be surrounded by nature, Bird's Nest is the place to be. The view is breathtaking and although the chalet isn't luxurious (thank goodness, it brings you down to earth), it contains everything you need for self-catering. We had a fantastic 2 nights at Bird's Nest and wil definitely go again (and for longer next time)!
