Beautiful location with great view of the water and grassy lawn. So peaceful at night with barely any noise despite the campsite across the dam. Kitchenette has all the equipment you need and enjoyed the complimentary muffins. Feels like you are in a rural farm location but felt secure and is not far from Heidelberg town. Host was extremely helpful and accommodating.
Not the hosts' fault but beware using the GPS location provided by booking.com - Google maps took us down the wrong dirt road (seems to think there is a connecting access road but there isn't). Rather get directions from the host upfront.

The location was beautiful, next to a camping area. The rooms were comfortable, including a nice living room with comfy chairs and couches, dining area, and full kitchen. The owner provided muffins as well as rusks for breakfast.
There were two space heaters (much appreciated) but a third one for the shared area would have been nice - it was quite cold. The local Hadeda Ibises, which are very loud, woke my sister up at dawn.

Ibis Nest is a very peaceful and tranquil place. We stayed in the standard twin room and it's very quiet and private if no one else is booked in the double room which shares the kitchen and the living room. Lettie is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. She made our stay as pleasant as possible and offered more than most guest houses in regard to food (muffins, rusks) and coffee etc. (although it is self-catering).
We liked everything about the place and can definitely recommend it.

The lake.
The birds in the morning.
Very very bad Wifi and cellphone connection. Could not reach anybody, had to drive to town to get connected.
Renovated room in the backyard. Not really a Lodge or guest house.
Gravel road to room not very well. No secure parking.
They did not fill up the toilet paper.
Photos on accommodation platform is misleading.

beautiful Property, clean. Lettie was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed.
Lettie, your sign on the main gate is faded. the gps directions landed us 2 plots away on a cattle farm.

We had a wonderful time at Ibis Nest. The reception and check-in were seamless and the host was very friendly. We loved the little river/dam next to the place and the access to kitchen facilities in our unit. See you again soon!
With the extreme heat in Heidelberg, we expected there to be an aircon or at least a ceiling fan. Although we did have a very small fan, there was really no relief for the heat. We also expected an iron and ironing board in our room (as indicated on the website), as opposed to having to request one from the host. Very poor network coverage. We did not have any wi-fi (the one in the kitchen had no network).

Excellent value for money, large space where kids can play, peaceful and quiet.

We were birding in Johannesburg area and you can't find a better place to visit than Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve and Marievale Bird Sanctuary. Ibis Nest very close to both. Safe and secure places to bird and lodge. Our host was very helpful and the rooms were very nice. A short drive into Heidelberg for great Indian food.

The property is well maintained and clean. The rooms and bedding are so clean. The kitchen has almost everything a self catering facility should have. A warm welcome and treats to fresh muffins and rusks.
Internet connection was a bit of a struggle but it also depends on the type of network and phone. This did not spoil my stay at all and Lynette tried her best to provide different routers to make sure that at least i got connected. Very sweet of her 😀.

Quiet and beautiful location and is close to town
Cellphone signal is almost nonexistent and wifi at the property is also dependent on cellphone coverage.
5.0 / 5.0
Best place to recharge your batteries. Tranquil and serene and Lettie and Dirk make sure that all needs are met. Our only complaint is that we didn't stay longer to make the most of this amazing accommodation.
