A wonderful time spent so close to nature. Beautiful memories.

Although we were sceptical about the toilet facilities, it proved to not be a problem at all. It was one of our best vacations and I would highly recommend the Tin Shack. Clean, safe and everything it promised to be.

Brilliant, peace and quiet, love the view.

Absolutely brilliant. We loved everything about the tin shack. The view is spectacular, the hot tub is fantastic. The unit is fully equipped with everything you need. We will definitely be back. The peace and quiet was exactly what we needed. Loved it. Brian and Marna welcomed us, and the champagne was a nice touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Top verblyf en gaste.

Al was die weer ietwat misluk, was dit heerlik om te arriveer en die kaggel was reeds aan die gang gesit, en die huisie klaar wakker gemaak. Marna en Bryan is wonderlike gaste en het ons tuis laat voel terwyl ons daar was. Baie klein details en spesiale aandag is gegee aan die plek om die verblyf lekker te maak.

Top accommodation and guests.

Even though the weather was a bit unlucky, it was lovely to arrive and the fireplace was already on, waking up the cottage. Marna and Bryan are wonderful hosts and made us feel at home while we were there. Many small details and special attention have been given to the place to make the stay enjoyable.

Perfekte plekkie vir 'n romantiese wegbreek.

Die Tin Shack is 'n luukse, romantiese wegbreek van hoogste gehalte. Die natuurskoon en ligging is asemrowend mooi. Selfs al het ons stormweer gehad, is die plekkie so goed geposisioneer dat met wind en reën ons nog steeds kon braai en die warmbad kon gebruik. Te alle tye beskikbaar en dadelik daar toe die erge stornwind die geute laat waai! Ons gaan elke jaar vir ons huweliksherdenking weg en die Tin Shack is vir seker een van ons top 5! (Uit 17).

Perfect spot for a romantic getaway.

The Tin Shack is a luxurious, romantic getaway of the highest quality. The scenery and location are breathtakingly beautiful. Even though we had stormy weather, the place is so well positioned that with wind and rain we could still barbecue and use the hot tub. Available at all times and immediately there when the severe gale blows the gutters! We go every year for our wedding anniversary and the Tin Shack is one of our top 5 for sure! (Ex. 17).

Fantasties!

Ons tyd by die Tin Shack was heerlik! Die hoogtepunt van ons tyd daar was sonder twyfel die asemrowende uitsig vanaf die dek en die warmbad. Om wakker te word met daai uitsig was 'n ware betowerende ervaring. Die huis self is goed ingerig met al die nodige geriewe. Die gasheer was ongelooflik verwelkomend en tegemoetkomend, en het verseker dat ons alles gehad het wat ons benodig. Sal dit beslis vir almal aanraai!

Our time at the Tin Shack was wonderful! The highlight of our time there was without a doubt the breathtaking view from the deck and the hot tub. Waking up to that view was a truly mesmerizing experience. The house itself is well furnished with all the necessary amenities. The host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Alles was wonderlik. Dit was prentjie mooi en die verblyf was goed toegerus.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad by 'The Tin Shack'. Marna en haar man was wonderlike gashere en die verblyf was gerieflik geleë met 'n asemrowende uitsig van St. Helena baai.

Get up early, grab a coffee and watch the sunrise over the bay.

We had an amazing start to our honeymoon at The Tin Shack, enjoying the views over the bay from the Kol-Kol. The fireplace inside provides more than adequate heating for the cold winter nights. The compostable toilet was a new twist .
