Christmas in July in the Drakensberg

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

We are hosting our annual Christmas in July over the weekend of the 16th to 18th July 2010.  Rates from R600 per person sharing. The Dining Room is set for a festive banquet on the evening of the 17th July, with a complimentary and heart warming sherry to begin with.

Begin your dining experience with a bowls of our famous Butternut Soup & Cinnamon Cream, richly rewarding and quite possibly South Africa’s favourite feel good soup!

Next up is the Beer Battered Kingklip with our Seafood Sauce, prepared with a dash of lemon and generous amounts of farm butter. A little dash of salt and fresh lemon juice creates a simple dish of varied tastes.

The vegetarian entrée is Potato Pancake served with Julienne Carrots and Green Beans. We use a bit of mozzarella in the potato mixture that ensures a golden and rich flavour, topped of with a little sour cream and herbs.

Turkey is the ubiquitous festive fare and our kitchen team excel at Roast Turkey with Sage Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce. Whole tins of fine cranberry jam are slowly melted and crafted into the yummiest accompaniment to hot oven roasted turkey. The bread and sage stuffing is an aromatic treat in itself.

The Cider Glazed Gammon provides a feast for the senses served up with the vegetables makes it a plate filled with yuletide joy. Quite possibly the golden roast potatoes contribute significantly to that joy

Our baker has an excellent recipe for Baked Chocolate Pudding served in cups with a sprinkling of toasted almonds and a drenching of chocolate sauce. A most decadent way to celebrate. Our Christmas pudding is already waiting for the big occasion and every so often, the baker pours on a bit more brandy to ensure a rich and magnificent flavour.

The Cheese and Biscuit platter might not tempt after all the above, however, we are confident that the array of delicious cheeses and biscuits will definitely have an allure for everyone.

Rooms are available from R600 per person sharing per night.
Including all meals, as well as the festive dinner, accommodation and morning & afternoon tea / coffee.

4th Annual Bridge Events

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Nest Hotel Bridge Tournament

We are pleased to announce the 4th Annual Nest Bridge Events – set in the scenic majesty of the Central Drakensberg of Kwa-zulu Natal!

Once again Heidi Atkinson will be our Bridge Lecturer and Convenor. Her passion for bridge and people, her teaching abilities and organisational skills ensure that you will be well looked after throughout any or all of the three events that you may choose to attend.

From humble beginnings, our Bridge week/s are becoming more and more appealing to South African Bridge players of all skill levels. This year, due to demand, we are offering lessons for absolute beginners – a week of fun learning. Thereafter we have scheduled a Bridge Clinic for Intermediates aimed at improving their Bridge skills. We end off with a Weekend Tournament of fun, friendly and competitive play. The tournament is hosted in our impressive conference venue and run professionally with instant scoring, personal score sheets and hand records .

The Nest offers an ideal venue for learning and fun in the crisp and fresh Drakensberg winter tableau. Our tasty South African country cooking and warm hospitality provide relaxing respite from the often snow bound mountains on display. Our special Bridge rates ensure great value for money and offer a memorable experience for all.
