Casetta del Fuoco (Fire Cottage) is a modern, fully equipped converted shipping container "Tiny House". It is situated just 9km outside of the hustle and bustle of Plettenberg Bay and is perfect for a couple or a small family. Surrounded by untouched indigenous fynbos, semi off-grid and green (eco friendly), you can unwind and recharge in the tranquility of the surroundings and use it as a base for exploring both Plettenberg Bay and Knysna (30km away) After we lost our house in the devastating fire of 2017, Casetta del Fuoco was our home for almost 2 years while we rebuilt, hence the name meaning Fire Cottage in Italian. It is quaint and compact, but since we lived there for such a long time, it has everything you need for a fully self catering stay. Experience trendy Tiny House living first hand. Our cottage features 2 bedrooms. The main bedroom has a double bed and wardrobe. The 2nd bedroom has bunk beds and a wardrobe area. There is also a sleeper couch in the lounge area. The small, modern bathroom has a toilet, basin and shower. There is an open plan lounge with a kitchen corner featuring a 2 plate gas hob, microwave, bar fridge and toaster. There is a little deck outside and a braai (BBQ). We have a camp cot available for guests with small babies (please communicate this beforehand so we can set it up for you). We are semi off-grid and we try to live as eco friendly as possible incorporating the following into your rental experience and bringing down our own (and your) carbon footprint: *The container runs on solar panels during the day time and grid supply during the evenings. *It has a solar geyser (with electric backup) *We use only rain water (filtered drinking water is provided) *We provide recycling bins that are easy to use *All lights are LED's *We provide you with eco friendly, biodegradable cleaning products and toiletries *We recycle grey-water *No single use plastics are provided or used (no small bottles or sachets of shampoo, no disposable plastic cups or cutlery etc) *Our cottage itself is made from an up-cycled shipping container!
Jolene's place is amazing. a beautifully converted shipping container, that's off grid. it's been so well done you wouldn't know it's off-grid! The area is stunning surrounded by fynbos. Jolene is a great host upon learning the ages of our two boys delivered a crate of ages appropriate toys. then sent through many details on places to go after considering our needs. I couldn't rate this place highly enough! thanks Alex
Die unterkunft entspricht genau unseren Werten. So wird man sich wieder den Recourrcen bewusst. Super ruhig und garten ist toll für die kinder zum spielen
Jolene was super helpful and friendly. The cabin was exactly as pictured. The kids loved it. So did we. Thank you x
What a pleasant stay, and worth every penny. Loved the view of the ocean a few minutes walk from the container. Compact but has everything one would need, we were mostly in town and needed somewhere affordable to sleep and shower :) Jolene is an amazing host and responds very quick to messages.

自我介绍
I am a South African married to an Italian. We live on a smallholding just outside of Plettenberg Bay with our two boys. Before having kids I travelled extensively and lived and worked on board of a super yacht. I have always preferred staying with private people when traveling instead of in a hotel or resort. I have found it gives one a more personal experience of the place you are visiting as you get a more intimate look at how people live. We live on a 8,5 hectare smallholding and we just love being surrounded by untouched fynbos and the wildlife it attracts. We have gone semi off-grid and we try and live a simple life and to give our children an un-rushed childhood surrounded by nature. We speak English, Afrikaans and Italian.
