We hope you will enjoy Nectar Cottage.

Nectar is a haven of peace and quiet in the winter months. Expect frequent whale and dolphin sightings from Nature’s Valley beach, just a stone’s throw from the house. All year round in the garden of Nectar Cottage you can enjoy the Knysna Loeries (they love the tree in the corner of the garden near the beach gate), the beady-eyed fork-tailed Drongos and, of course, the daily bushbuck who are so quiet and shy you need to keep your eye on the garden to spot them. Nightly visits of the bushpigs are also a treat. Just watch your food on the braai or terrace as they are relatively tame and cheeky!
