The Magical Mountain Nest was indeed that - a warm, comfy, relaxing place with a wonderful location that has all the peace of the country while being a few minutes drive from the heart of the city. Waking up to the sound of birds, coming home to see wallabies all around, and being able to walk straight out onto the Mount Wellington paths made for a truely special stay.

Mieke is a great host, warm and welcoming with great communication, while providing unobtrusive support- turning on the heater to warm the room each afternoon was much appreciated!

We stayed at the Nest for 5 nights, and our only regret is that we couldn't stay a lot longer. Many thanks for the magical stay, Mieke!
