Other things to note
PRIVACY (please note):
The Skye Ocean Nest is one of four accommodations of the Skye Beach Guesthouse (all bookable on Airbnb); it is neighbours with
(1)Skye Beach House (main deckhouse) which accommodates up to 6 people;
(2) Skye Beach Garden Villa which accommodates up to 8 people; and (3) Skye Beach Cottage which accommodates up to 5 people.
If other guests are staying at Skye Beach Guesthouse on the same days of your booking at the Ocean Nest, you will likely be aware of their presence at some point, they share the same driveway and parking area. Don’t be afraid though, as these are just fellow beach lovers looking to rest and revive in a tranquil location. :)
The actual accommodations have their own private entrances, facilities (fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms, etc). You may occasionally see/ hear other people but we appreciate all Skye Beach Guesthouse cvisitors to be respectful when it comes to noise (especially after 11 pm) – we make that clear during the booking process.
There is fast uncapped fiber/wifi perfect for those looking to work remotely. Smart TV (Netflix, YouTube, show Max), Bluetooth music player is also available.
The Ocean Nest will be cleaned again after your departure unless alternate arrangements are made with the host.
Bath towels are provided but please bring your own beach towels. :)
It may also be worth mentioning that, although there is a charcoal braai and a nice bench outside of the unit there isn't a completely private space to relax outside of the Nest... BUT there is a fantastic beach right at your doorstep... that offers a beautifully peaceful space to relax... so grab a chair and go relax there... As an added BONUS, if the Beach Cottage or Garden Villa are vacant you are more than welcome to use a large deck area at the back of the Nest or the terrace/garden space on the seaside of the Nest (with their own braai facilities). However, we would appreciate you keeping those spaces as neat as possible in the event that other guests check in soon after.
Well behaved small dogs welcome.
Damages deposit applies.
