The Chalets
Eagle's Nest Chalets
Eagle's Nest is the self-catering side of Klein-Aus Vista, part of the Gondwana Collection, 2 km west of the small town of Aus. Eight chalets, each built individually of rock, sit among the granite boulders of the Aus Mountains with long views over the plains.
Every chalet has a kitchen, a stocked mini-bar, a lounge with a fireplace, a private veranda and a barbecue outside, so you can keep to yourself in the quiet. When you would rather not cook, the restaurant at Klein-Aus Vista's Desert Horse Inn is a short drive away.
This is walking and cycling country, with five marked hiking trails and mountain-bike routes through the Succulent Karoo. Lüderitz, Kolmanskop and the wild horses at Garub make an easy day out on the tar road.
