Loved it. Peace and quiet, but the toilet leaked and it would have been nice to know when load shedding was.

Peaceful, cosy, awesome bass fishing, convenient to town. The Tin Shack is nice and cosy, kitted out with the things you need, including a lovely fireplace, books, and games. The views are spectacular. The bass fishing was so much fun! Friendly dogs and our guard goose. The bird watching was amazing. On the tarred road and not far from town, we really enjoyed the peace and beauty!

Celeste, baie dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om ons kothuis te hersien. Ek is so bly jy het jou verblyf en die spasie geniet. Ons hoop om jou een of ander tyd terug te hê.

Good. It's aged and needs some upkeep, especially the deck is caving in and there is no handrail on the steps.

Break away for silence and rest. As an option for an unplanned getaway to KZN, Tin Shack was the ideal place to switch off and rest in beautiful surroundings. The hostess was always available without bothering. The "farm feel" was a blessing for us.

Wegbreek vir stilte en rus. As opsie vir 'n onbeplande wegbreek na KZN was Tin Shack die ideale plek vir afskakel en rus in 'n pragtige omgewing. Die gasvrou was altyd beskikbaar sonder om te pla. Die "plaasgevoel" was vir ons 'n seën.

Beautiful cozy house. Very private. Calm atmosphere. The fireplace in the living room is very pleasant. View over the dam is beautiful. Blue cranes came to visit.

Pragtige knus huisie. Baie privaat. Rustige atmosfeer. Die kaggel in die sitkamertjie is baie aangenaam. Uitsig oor die dam is pragtig. Bloukraanvoëls het kom besoek aflê.

Not at all what we expected. The owner left the key under the mat and did not come to introduce herself, although she communicated with us via Whatsapp. When we walked into the Tin Shack it smelled of sour milk inside. The house's wood inside is pretty rotten, the roof hangs and it also leaks. The bathroom was quite nice. The cold hit through the floor and we had to go get our own duvet because we got terribly cold. My husband and I are often in the mountains and sleep in caves or tents so we are not full of fiemies at all. This is just not our idea of rustic. Rustic must still be neat and hygienic, it's not an excuse to make things look that way. The owner said: "The Tin Shack is rustic, but not everyone's cup of tea." Maybe it's just not our cup of tea.

Glad nie wat ons verwag het nie. Die eienaar het die sleutel onder die matjie gelos en haar nie kom voorstel nie, alhoewel sy met ons per Whatsapp gekommunikeer het. Toe ons instap by die Tin Shack het dit binne-in na suur melk geruik. Die huisie se hout in binnekant is redelik vrot, die dak hang en hy lek ook. Die badkamer was redelik nice. Die koue het deur die vloer geslaan en ons moes ons eie duvet gaan haal want ons het vreeslik koud gekry. Ek en my man is gereeld in die berge en slaap in grotte of tente so ons is glad nie vol fiemies nie. Dié is net nie ons idee van rustic nie. Rustic moet steeds netjies en higiënies wees, dis nie 'n verskoning om goed so te laat lyk nie. Die eienaar het gesê: "The Tin Shack is rustic, but not everyones cup of tea." Dalk is dit net nie ons cup of tea nie.

Hi Henry, I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us at the Tin Shack. I just feel like I need to clear a few things up for future guests. I am sorry about the Globes, I didn't blame my cleaning lady, I said I would bring it to her attention and at the end of the day it is my responsibility and not the ladies that work for me. The cottage was built before we had electricity on the farm so there are no ceiling lights in the bedroom and the electrics are a little different, but I wouldn't imagine that this could ruin your weekend. I am sorry you only found this out on day two. I had promptly answered all your previous whatsapp and calls, all you need to do was message or call me and I would have helped. I was away the two days prior to your arrival and hadn't checked the cottage but the ladies have in the past done a great job and I haven't had many complaints. Unfortunately I can't always be around all the time to check. I never mentioned Ag Shame, in fact I confirmed that you were unhappy about the shower curtain and globes and asked you if there was anything else to send me a whatsapp with a list that I could help you with, I never heard from you again. I also didn't ask you to fit the globes, I mentioned in my voice note to you that I wasn't sure if you were happy me entering the cottage whilst you were not there and left the globes in a packet. I would have happily come down and helped you should you have asked. My sons have always been complimented on their manners and I doubt any of them were sullen, it might not have even been one of my family members but someone contracted to repair the machinery. And the recommendation from our local Tourism Board is not to mix with your guests unnecessarily due to covid and that is why I never came down to introduce myself and that is why I leave the keys under the mat. I would have happily come down to say Hi if I knew it worried you. We do have amazing views and the bird life is fantastic, I am glad you enjoyed that. I would also like to point out to other potential guests reading this review to please read the previous reviews as well. Thank you

No welcome and very untidy. When we got there we received no welcome, just a message saying the key was under the carpet by the door. The place is very dirty and needs a lot of attention. Sofas in living room are dirty and full of stains. Was supposed to stay there for 2 nights but immediately looked for other accommodation for the 2nd night.

Geen verwelkoming gekry en baie onnet. Toe ons daar kom het ons geen verwelkoming ontvang nie, net 'n boodskap wat se die sleutel is onder die mat by die deur. Die plek is baie onnet en kort baie aandag. Banke in sitkamer is vuil en vol vlekke. Was veronderstel om 2 nagte daar te bly maar het dadelik ander verblyf gesoek vir 2de nag.
