Secret paradise. We stumbled across McBains whilst hiking a few weeks ago and I immediately booked a cabin for December - we did not regret it. The cabin itself was perfect - filled with good books, white linen, and mountain views. I actually didn't know about the outdoor shower and bath, but bathing under the stars on the edge of the world and under the shadow of the mountain was probably my favourite part of the stay. Loads of fantastic hikes and rock pools nearby; we spent days hiking, swimming, reading, eating, and napping. The perfect getaway. The type of people that go there are all lovely, friendly, outdoor types, and it was great hearing kids playing ping pong or families cooking dinner, having a chat, or reading on the couch. There's enough space that if you want your own space, you can find a peaceful nook, but if you want to interact, the opportunity is there. It feels like home and everyone felt like family (without the drama haha).

Nice peaceful sleep and the staff were amazing, kind and helpful. It had been breathtaking, even the view and the hot tub.

Nice batteries charged. It was exactly what we needed and so much more than we expected. I was there as a single mom with my little girls (7 & 9) and we enjoyed every moment.

Amazing, would definitely recommend. It was absolutely lovely. A short walk down to amazing rock pools with the most beautiful views. I loved the communal kitchen/chill area, has everything you can think of with a jacuzzi and once again, a beautiful view. Cabins are cute and comfortable.

Brief, beautiful and just what we were looking for. Our stay was brief but very pleasant. We swam in the rock pools, used the communal kitchen for a braai, and enjoyed the hot tub. All very good. Thank you.

Rustic & cozy retreat that immerses you in the mountains. Very enjoyable - the location is insane - no need to leave the venue to enjoy the nature. Definitely 'rustic' but clean and well maintained. Will be returning as soon as possible.
