Description

Your hosts Laurie and Pat Probert warmly welcome visitors and tourists to their appealing and attractive home located in Gonubie, the increasingly popular holiday resort, only 15 minutes from the East London city centre, and the Strandloper and Wild Coast Meander trails end here. For those who are normally under the strains and pressures of city life, Gonubie is the ideal spot to relax and unwind and to be refreshed and restored as they enjoy its tranquil atmosphere and unspoiled, natural beauty, which is rivaled only by the warm friendliness of our people. There is a never ending array of options for visitors and tourists: Sun, sea, beaches, rivers and dams, history, anti-apartheid heroes, culture and arts, adventure, sports, entertainment, cuisine and wildlife. You name it, we have it.

We offer affordable three star luxury B and B and self-catering accommodation, close to the sea and amenities. Situated in a delightful treed garden, only four minutes drive from our Blue Flag Main Beach and popular Boardwalk, all our rooms have private entrances and are tastefully decorated and equipped with ceiling fans and heaters, DStv and M-Net, bedside radios, bar fridges, hairdryers and tea/coffee trays. There are desks in our luxury units for the convenience of our corporate guests. Secure off-street parking is provided behind automated gates. Hearty English breakfasts are served in the dining room. There is an undercover barbecue/braai facility in the lapa next to the swimming pool and another on the deck of the self-catering unit. Delicious home-cooked dinners may be served by prior arrangement. Day trips to various places of interest in the area can be arranged, including Game Park drives, cultural visits and hiking trails. The nine-hole golf course is but a stone’s throw away.

Best stay
Derick Herbst, South Africa
08 January 2012
We stayed in the Kestel Cottage and enjoyed our stay very much. This was our first time in East London and were pleasantly surprised. Gonubie Beach is one of the cleanest beaches we have ever enjoyed. This is definitely a place we will visit again.
Lovely

A lovely place to stay. Would recommend to my friends and family.
Peaceful and relaxed
Carol Gerber, South Africa

The self-catering unit is a home away from home.
Relaxing and convenient
Dwayne Patrick, Sweden
05 April 2011
I stayed in a few self-catering places brfore this one and therefore had a cooler bag with food in it. To my surprise we had a fridge in the room to store the food in! I can gladly recommend The Nest for the warm welcome alone, but the awsome breakfast and comfortable beds only count as a plus in my book.
Great stay
Wayne Roos, South Africa
06 January 2011
Thanks to Laurie and Pat for a very pleasant and relaxing stay at the Nest over December. We shall surely recommend the Nest to all our friends.
