There’s nothing quite like basking in the golden glow of the Drakensberg sun, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and letting nature recharge your soul. At The Nest Hotel, we believe in the power of the great outdoors – and what better way to soak up some much-needed Vitamin D than by spending time in our beautiful surroundings? Whether you prefer lounging on the rolling lawn, taking a refreshing dip in the pool, or heading out for a picturesque picnic at Hippo Pools, there are plenty of ways to embrace the sunshine during your stay.
Lazy Afternoons on the Rolling Lawn
Start your day with a cup of coffee in hand, as you settle into a comfortable chair on our lush, green lawn. The Nest’s sprawling gardens provide the perfect setting to relax and let the sun work its magic. Stretch out on a picnic blanket with a good book, or simply close your eyes and listen to the gentle sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the breeze.
A Splash of Sunshine by the Pool
For those who love a little poolside indulgence, our sparkling blue swimming pool is the ideal spot to unwind under the sun. Whether you take a leisurely swim or lounge on a deck chair with an ice-cold drink, you’ll feel the stress melt away as you soak up the warmth. Plus, there’s no better way to cool off after a morning of exploring the Drakensberg than with a refreshing dip!
A Scenic Walk to Hippo Pools
If you’re in the mood for a bit of adventure, lace up your walking shoes and take a leisurely stroll to Hippo Pools. This stunning spot, nestled in the natural beauty of the Berg, is a hidden gem where you can connect with nature. The gentle hike will get your blood flowing, and once you arrive, you’ll be rewarded with rock pools and breathtaking views – the perfect place to pause, take a deep breath, and absorb the healing energy of the mountains.
Picnic Perfection in the Drakensberg
Why not turn your visit to Hippo Pools into a full outdoor experience? Pack a picnic basket with freshly prepared treats from The Nest and find a shady spot by the water’s edge. There’s something magical about enjoying a meal surrounded by towering peaks and the sounds of nature – a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
