Happynest began as a humble two-bedroom cottage in 1978 but we soon learned that there was a need for a private cottage property that could accommodate Family Reunions. As you will see from our customer comments pages, we have succeeded in providing the ideal combination of those features and services in a quiet, relaxed and friendly setting that our customers love to enthuse about when they write to thank us for treating them like family before, during and after their visit.
Indeed, some of our dearest friends are people that we have met though our experience as cottage hosts that now spans 37 years and counting. By the year 2000, we had torn down the original cottage and built what you see here today – a place for extended families to bond, and make fond memories to last a lifetime – Happynest.
HAPPYNEST IS A VERY FULL-FEATURE PRIVATE WATERFRONT COTTAGE AND NOT PART OF ANY COMMERCIAL RESORT.
