About
The Nest was designed with a desire and vision of creating a private, but shared space, for individuals and/or couples to pursue their fitness goals, while enjoying the nature, serene beauty, and the temperate climate of Cape Town.
The guest house consists of two separate private bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and workspace, as well as a shared lounge, kitchen, laundry room/scullery, and balcony. Residents staying at The Nest will also have 24 access to a state-of-the-art, high-performance, private training facility filled with the world’s best fitness, sports performance and weight training equipment located on the property a few steps away from the guest house.
The shared space is fully furnished to accommodate a ‘high-comfort’ and ‘productive’ lifestyle. It includes a lounge with a smart TV with access to streaming platforms, a couch, a dining table, and workspace, and a fully equipped kitchen with a Siemens oven and induction stove, an electric burner, washing machine and dryer, cookware, kettle, iron, and microwave. The kitchen has a tea/coffee nook to include a Nespresso Vertuo Machine and a glass dripper for pour-over style brewing.
The guest house was designed to meet the needs of digital nomads, who work from home, with high-speed fibre internet in all rooms, and work spaces in both bedrooms and the living room. To ensure comfort and productivity during periods of load-shedding, the guest house has an inverter with long-life batteries to ensure access to lighting, internet, TV, and low-voltage plugs.
To promote recovery, residents staying at the guest house will also have access to a variety of recovery tools to be enjoyed, ranging from trigger point and mobility tools, Marc Pro Plus, Ice Bath, and FlexBeam red light therapy.
Each private bedroom is also fully catered and includes Queen Sized firm-pillow top mattress designed to provide back support, a wardrobe, a laptop-sized safe, a bathroom with a shower, Shower essentials (Body Wash, Shampoo, and Conditioner), workspace, weekly cleaning service (1x per week), and smart TV with high-speed Internet and streaming platforms.

About the Owner
The Nest private training and guest house is owned and managed by Matthew DeCristofano. Matthew is a social worker and humanitarian who has spent much of his career working with the United Nations to protect children, refugees and persons affected by armed conflict.
In his pastime and personal pursuits, Matthew has turned to sport and weight training, which feeds his playful competitiveness and helps him manage the many stressors of life. While some people like nice cars or designer clothing, Matthew’s love of fitness, fitness equipment, and diversity is what inspired The Nest, and with it he hopes to share his love of fitness by creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for people from around the world to pursue their fitness/wellness goals while enjoying all the beauty that the Western Cape has to offer.
As a foreign national himself, Matthew designed The Nest to also be able to meet the needs of foreigners, and digital nomads who wish to leave the cold winters across Europe and the Americas, in favour of warmer weather and temperate climate in Cape Town.
He is the proud parent of two well-behaved playful rescue pups, Spicey and Saucey who spend much of their time at The Nest.
As a humanitarian and advocate for social justice, and someone who embraces diversity, The Nest extends a warm welcome to people of all racial, ethnic, religious, political, and social backgrounds and is LGBTQ+ friendly.
The Nest was designed with a desire and vision of creating a private, but shared space, for individuals and/or couples to pursue their fitness goals, while enjoying the nature, serene beauty, and the temperate climate of Cape Town.

About the private training facility
Residents staying at The Nest will have 24 access to a state-of-the-art, high-performance, private training facility on the property next to the guest house. Whether you are an early bird, a night owl, or training 3 times per day, residents can workout as long and hard as their heart desires.
The private training facility is unlike traditional ‘gyms’ as it is not open to the public and is shared only by those few residing on the property. It is also unlike any other facility in South Africa, as it is fully equipped with some of the best fitness, sports performance and weight training equipment from across the world including Panatta, Gymleco, Rogue, and Exxcentic.
“The Nest what a great spot. Being able to work-out in a state of the art gym, before hitting CT to enjoy the scenery or a hike has been epic, lets not mentioned the tranquility and the view!”
