The space
The Nest is a cozy and relaxing place where you can enjoy nature and stunning views from sunrise to sunset, just steps from the ocean. Our Orchard offers apples, pears and cherries for the picking (in season), and you may also enjoy our organic herbs and vegetable gardens. Located by the sea, Valhalla offers private trails and the ideal setting for water sports, with rental (delivery) options in town.

Guest access
You may explore the whole estate, except the main house, the Loft (separate cottage) and the caretaker's house.

Other things to note
Please note that we share our home with our guests, and that we are a small and familial operation, without staff or full-time services. We are only happy if our guests are having the best time, so we try hard to have their expectations met within our capacity.

If you have an Electric Vehicle, there are several charging stations around the island. We do not have EV charging capacity on the property.

We use regular cleaning products. If you have any sensitivity to detergents such as Tide/Persil/Downy or Greenworks, Clorox, Pledge, etc., please advise us at the time of your booking so we can accommodate your special cleaning request.

Although we love to see our guests have fun, we ask you to respect other guests' and our private spaces. Valhalla is a place to relax, meditate and contemplate nature and we appreciate quietude.

Please be mindful that the Nest is located in a wooded area, and it is usual to find pollen, pine needles, small animals like little frogs, spiders and harmless critters. Despite our best efforts to clean the cobwebs, you may find a few as they are formed every day.
