The trend of shipping container living continues with this stunning selection of luxury eco cabins in the hills of South Africa. This set of two rentals are the epitome of off-grid living. Both are made from old renovated shipping containers, with their own bathroom, kitchen and fireplace. A wood-fired hot tub sits on the communal deck, and wild animals roam the site.
Each room offers expansive, panoramic views of the Bot River valley. The idea came about three years ago, when founder Lucas Steyn saw an image of a converted shipping container on social media. He wanted to do his bit to help the environment by recycling, and when he sold his own business in 2015, he decided to transform the family farm into something unforgettable and eco-friendly.
The conversions of each container took four months, and Steyn decided to christen the site ‘Copia’ – the name of his father’s first farm.
