McGregor · 整套平房 · 2室3床2.0卫 · 可住2人 · Easy 4 Dayz - The Container House
In McGregor, this is a new construction concept: a hybrid of conventional build which clads a re-purposed shipping container. The two-bedroomed house has a spacious, north facing patio with a built-in braai and splash pool, set in a waterwise garden. The cottage comfortably sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms (one with a double bunk) and has 2 bathrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The hybrid construction of the house is a recycled shipping container that is wrapped with a wall and then plastered and whitewashed. This wall gives the container excellent thermal properties that protects the dwelling from the southeaster in summer and northwester in winter. The hybrid nature of construction creates an inherently thick wall, which allows for deep reveals around small punctured windows and doors, reflecting the vernacular architecture, as well as creating passive screening from harsh sunlight. The outside fireplace and braai area is an important sculptural element in the architecture. On the west façade of the house, the large overhang of the roof protects the deck creates an extension of the living space from large barn-style sliding doors. Steps lead from the deck, which includes a splash pool, to the garden
My partner and I stayed in the property for 2nights and I must say we got a warm welcome from the host. They make provision for everything you might need during your stay(eg:kitchen utensils), there's also a good water heating system in place so you are guaranteed a warm shower. However, on our second night we had a problem with the mosquitoes I guess we were supposed to close all windows and doors by a certain time and we weren't really made aware of it. All in all we had an amazing time, nice place to visit if you trying to get away from the city.
It’s a lovely space! Note, it’s a container home! So if it’s hot, you will die of the heat! You cannot open the windows while you are sleeping as there are no burglars bars! On our last night, our bag was stolen due to one of the bathroom windows being slightly ajar as the heat was unbearable! And a number of stuff that we left to dry on the balcony was stolen too! Petty crime is all over the world! I understand this, I do think that adding see through burglar bars would only be a good investment! It’s a terrible feeling knowing that there were ppl looking at us while we were sleeping! Other than that we had a lovely stay!
Clean and comfortable. The place was somewhat smaller than what it looked like on the pictures. The fact that the house is on a corner with no walls or fencing around it is a problem. We had to keep the blinds closed constantly to avoid passers by looking in and lying by the pool felt a bit exposed. The pool pump was on 24/7 which was slightly disturbing. We did report this and someone came to switch it off, however an hour later it came back on again. The shower water was also hard to regulate. Either scorching hot or cold. The water drained out the shower very slowly. Overall a pleasant stay. We were out in the town mostly so for sleep purposes it was fine. For a relaxing weekend enjoying your accommodation and lounging around, I will probably not choose this option.
