Gundaroo's historic charm is complemented with great food and wine; Grazing, Cork Street Cafe Pizzeria, Gundaroo Colonial Inn, Gundog Estate Cellardoor Cafe (generally open Wed/Thu - Sun). Book early to avoid disappointment.
Our boutique hotel has received Booking.com Guest Review awards for three years in a row, as well as a Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor. Our guest books are filled with kind words from our guests. The Nest at Gundaroo is so much more than a hotel - it is luxury accommodation with a difference.

With the threat of COVID-19 some people are concerned about their bookings, planned events or travel. We wanted to reassure you that The Nest will be continuing to operate and is following Department of Health guidelines for hotels. Earlier this year we had many guests cancel, refund or shift their bookings as a consequence of COVID 19 (lock-down restrictions and event cancellations). Because The Nest is very popular, we routinely have bookings for many months in advance -- so with the anticipation that hotspots for COVID will occur from time to time and potentially again impact future bookings, we have changed our booking policy and don't require full payment at time of booking any longer. This has been done to make bookings easier for our customers and to give more flexibility for us if there are COVID restrictions that impact our reservations calendar. For large events such as weddings, we only require a small deposit rather than the usual 50%.
We have also taken the following actions to protect our guests and staff from COVID-19:
1. We have standing policy that our staff do not come to work if unwell.
2. In addition to our usual high cleaning standards, we provide staff with masks, gloves and anti-bacterial/anti-viral disinfectant wipes and sprays to use in every villa.
3. Before you check in, every electronic key, handle, tap and counter surface will have been disinfected.
4. We have placed additional anti-bacterial hand sanitiser and disinfectant surface spray in each villa for your use.
5. As always we provide tissues and ample toilet paper.
6. The Nest has limited shared guests spaces (Reception) and this is cleaned and sanitised regularly. Our self-check-in services are ideal for preventing the spread of a virus.
Our spaces are sanctuaries and you should feel safe and comfortable here. We are lucky that The Nest is off the beaten path, peaceful and yet close to any needed amenities and services. For those worried about COVID-19, The Nest is a wonderful way to practice social distancing while having a relaxing and enjoyable time.
If you have any questions or special needs relating to the spread of viral infections, feel free to email us at info@thenestgundaroo.com.au.
We hope to see you soon.
