"The Tin Shack" is a beautiful container-built cabin situated on a hill behind the West Coast town of St Helena Bay. The cabin overlooks the entire bay with the majestic Cederberg mountains in the distance. It has two ensuite bedrooms, each with a shower, basin, and compost toilet. The spacious open plan kitchen/living area has a cast-iron woodburner fireplace which makes the cabin warm and cozy even in winter. The spacious deck has a Weber BBQ, outdoor seating, and a woodfired hot tub. The space The interior is minimalist and has an industrial look, but beautiful clean finishes have not been compromised. In line with the hosts' concern for the environment, each bathroom has a dry, bucket system, compost toilet for water conservation and waste recycling. We are collecting as much rainwater as possible and all greywater is also recycled for the garden. The cabin is situated on a smallholding with natural vegetation, abundant birdlife including birds of prey such as kestrels and eagles, and small wildlife like mongoose, francolin, guineafowl, tortoise, and the occasional duyker roaming free. It is the perfect spot for escaping technology, reading a book, or relaxing in the hot tub or hammock while watching the world go by. In the right season and equipped with a pair of binoculars, whales and dolphins can be seen playing in the bay. Other things to note Please take note that this is not a beach property.
