Long weekend at Overton Island

Drake’s Nest was a fabulous place to sat with multi-generational family. The house is well equipped and the rooms tastefully decorated. Communal areas provide a great social space. Rooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. Habitat escapes environment is lovely with plenty to do. The spa, bar, gym and pool excellent. Staff at the site office are friendly and helpful. Hot tub a real bonus. We'll be back. Thank you.
