To those who reside in the heart before the room it wasn't an ordinary stay; it was a true journey of happiness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. The hotel is undoubtedly beautiful, but what truly made the experience magical was you. Every single member kindness, genuine smiles, and beautiful spirits. thank you especially for the joy you added to my little son's heart, [jaber]. You made him feel important and cared for, and his happiness was the greatest gift we could have received. The memories of his laughter at your hotel will remain cherished in our hearts forever. You don't just provide hotel service; you provide a warmth and a feeling of home that made us feel like we were among our family🤝😁

Everything. Amazing host and staff. Room was perfect, clean, comfortable and equipped with all the essential things you need. Lots of free facilities to use including bikes and pool, but we especially loved trying out SUP when the tide was in. Leisure Island is a lovely, peaceful location, a short drive from Kynsna central/waterfront. Highly recommend the Nest, mostly because Tendai and the staff are so accommodating and helpful.

I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!
