About

Nature'S Rest

Nature'S Rest is a 4-star guest house perched on the edge of Zeekoevlei, one of Cape Town's largest freshwater lakes. The property emphasizes tranquility and outdoor living, with a sun terrace, garden furniture, and picnic areas that invite slow mornings and sunset lounging. Inside, rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, and electric blankets for year-round comfort, while the shared spaces include a fireplace for cooler evenings.

Run as an adults-only haven, the guest house focuses on personalized service, offering VIP check-in/out and tour assistance. A range of self-catering amenities—from a dining table and electric kettle to cookware and outdoor dining gear—make it easy to settle in. For the active, canoeing, fishing, and hiking are all on the doorstep, and the nearby Kenilworth Race Course is roughly 7 km away.
