Everything. Amazing host and staff. Room was perfect, clean, comfortable and equipped with all the essential things you need. Lots of free facilities to use including bikes and pool, but we especially loved trying out SUP when the tide was in. Leisure Island is a lovely, peaceful location, a short drive from Kynsna central/waterfront. Highly recommend the Nest, mostly because Tendai and the staff are so accommodating and helpful.

I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
