Cache of the Month Jan 2020Welcome to The Nest TB Hotel. A place of rest and relaxation for jet setting trackables from around the world. They can stay overnight before setting off on the next big adventure. Here they can exchange stories of incredible adventures, close calls and tall tales.

The Nest TB Hotel is notable for its easy access to the OR Tambo International Airport, nearby entertainment and conference venues, not to mention and good kick-off point for geo caching road trips, geo-art tours and nasty mystery-monster caches.
