DirectionsThe Nest Hotel is situated in the foothills of the stunning Central Drakensberg mountain range in the Kwa-Zulu Natal province of South Africa.
It is less than 4 hours from three of the largest cosmopolitan cities in the country, these being Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein and only an hour from Pietermaritzburg.
From Johannesburg
In Harrismith take the N5 to Bethlehem\Kestell for 4 kms, then the turnoff to Bergville\Qwa Qwa for 8 kms. You will then take the R74 Bergville\Oliviershoek Pass. The sign reads Bergville, Northern\Central Berg resorts. Stay on the R74 past Bergville into Winterton. As you enter Winterton on your left is an Engen Petrol Station. Take the first right onto the R600 opposite the Engen Station. Travel down the R600 for approx. 20Km and you will see The Nest Hotel entrance on the right.
From Durban
Take the N3 North and then the Estcourt North\Giants Castle, Central Drakensberg turnoff (exit no. 179) , to the left, off the highway. At the stop turn left and drive FOR approx. 30km until you come to the intersection turning left into the R600 (Central Berg). Travel down the R600 for approx. 7Km and you will see The Nest Hotel entrance on the right.
Recommended route for internationals:
If visiting from overseas we would recommend flying to Johannesburg and then hiring a car to drive to the nest, alternatively you could catch a bus to Estcourt the nearest town and we can arrange for a pickup shuttle. You could also fly via a chartered plane from Johannesburg to the local AIRSTRIP, WHICH is less than ten minutes away from The Nest Hotel. |
