Birds Nest Villa Nature Retreat

Our Story

Birds Nest Villa & Misty Homestay was born from a deep love for nature, travel, and environmental conservation.

Our property is surrounded by trees, with a lush green lawn that stays cool and inviting throughout the day. Every morning and evening, wild parrots and a variety of other birds visit the trees and garden, filling the air with their calls.

From the terrace, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, as the sky changes colour over the surrounding greenery. The calm, open views and gentle breeze create the perfect setting for an evening tea, a book, or simply quiet reflection.

At Birds Nest Villa & Misty Homestay, we put biodiversity and living greenery at the heart of everything we do, creating a safe haven for birds and other small creatures. We warmly invite you to stay with us, feel nature all around you, and experience a deep, peaceful rejuvenation that lingers long after you return home.
