Tiny Timber

Welcome to Tiny Timber! A calm, light-filled hideaway designed for simple living and deep rest. This tiny, open plan eco-cottage offers everything you need for an intentional stay: Off-grid comfort, a sheltered deck for slow mornings and easy access to the river and braai spots. 

🌿 Max 2 Guests

Open-Plan Living: 
A double bed with the covered deck right outside with beautiful mountain view gives you a peaceful night’s sleep.

Small Kitchen: 
The kitchen is fully equipped but has limited cooking space with only a 2-plate stove top (no oven) and bar fridge.

Modern Bathroom: 
Includes a walk-in shower, vanity,
and flushing toilet.

Storage: 
A wardrobe is provided for your belongings.

Your Private Outdoor Oasis:
Step outside onto your covered deck, where the magic truly happens. This is your front-row seat to breathtaking mountain views. Sip your morning coffee as the sun rises, enjoy an al fresco meal at the table and chairs, or simply unwind in the hammock or hanging chair, swaying gently in the breeze. For a classic South African evening, fire up the included braai (BBQ) and grill under the stars.
