Looking for an exceptionally quiet and peaceful place only two minutes’ drive from Takaka? Do you value cleanliness and a good night’s sleep? Prefer friendly hosts who are available but never intrusive? Do you like to feel genuinely welcome? Want two bedrooms with firm, comfortable beds, big common area to relax and a place so private that nobody will see you in the birds’ nest? Then, Simone and Joe’s nest is THE place to stay. Location, comfort, privacy and quiet all get five stars. The vaulted, knotty pine ceilings and walls lend to an even greater sense of spaciousness. See if you can spot the polar bear in the pine ceiling above the bed in the front bedroom while admiring the myriad of stars above the Kahurangi mountain range in the distance. Honestly, you won’t find a better place to stay so conveniently close to Takaka than the birds’ nest.
