New Years Eve at The Nest Hotel in the Central Drakensberg promises to be an unforgettable occasion. This year, in house guests are invited to step into an evening of elegance, mystery and celebration at our Black and White Masquerade Ball, hosted exclusively for residents staying at the hotel. Set against the backdrop of the Drakensberg mountains, it is the perfect way to say farewell to the old year and welcome the new one in style.
An Evening Of Timeless Elegance
The theme for the night is black and white, a classic combination that never goes out of fashion. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress in their finest monochrome attire and to complete the look with a stylish mask. Whether you choose something bold and dramatic or simple and refined, your mask will add an element of intrigue to the evening and create a true masquerade atmosphere.
From the moment you arrive for the evening’s festivities, you will feel the sense of occasion. The dining and entertainment areas will be beautifully prepared for the celebration, with a focus on comfort, warmth and the welcoming character that The Nest Hotel is known for.
A Hearty Country Dinner To Begin
The evening will begin with a hearty dinner, prepared with care in true country hotel style. Guests can look forward to a generous meal, relaxed conversation and the opportunity to savour the last night of the year in a calm and comfortable setting before the festivities move to the dance floor.
There is something special about enjoying a good meal in the mountains, away from the rush of the city. At The Nest Hotel, New Years Eve is not only about the countdown at midnight. It is about taking time to enjoy the moment, appreciate good food and company, and look back on the year with gratitude before stepping into a new one.
Dance Your Way Into The New Year
After dinner, the tempo of the evening will lift as the DJ begins to play. All your favourite tunes will fill the room, creating the ideal atmosphere to dance, laugh and celebrate. From golden oldies and sing along classics to more modern hits, the music will keep the dance floor lively as midnight approaches.
Whether you are travelling as a couple, with family or with friends, the Black and White Masquerade Ball offers the chance to relax and enjoy a festive evening without needing to leave the hotel. You can dance as much as you like, knowing that your comfortable room is only a short walk away when the celebrations draw to a close.
Exclusive To In House Guests
The Black and White Masquerade Ball is a special event hosted exclusively for guests staying at The Nest Hotel on New Years Eve. Unfortunately, non residents cannot be accommodated at the function. This allows us to keep the evening intimate, relaxed and safe, and ensures that our in house guests receive the full benefit of the occasion.
If you would like to be part of this New Years Eve celebration, you will need to book your accommodation at The Nest Hotel for the relevant dates. The Masquerade Ball itself is included at no additional cost for hotel residents, making it an exceptional value as part of your stay.
A New Years Escape In The Drakensberg
Spending New Years Eve in the Drakensberg offers the best of both worlds. During the day you can enjoy the fresh mountain air, beautiful scenery and outdoor activities that the Central Drakensberg is known for. In the evening, you can return to the comfort of The Nest Hotel, dress up for the Black and White Masquerade Ball, enjoy a hearty dinner and then dance your way into the New Year.
If you are looking for a New Years getaway that combines natural beauty, traditional hospitality and a festive celebration, The Nest Hotel is an ideal choice.
