A Heritage home reborn in 1920s glamour. What began as a whimsical idea quickly became a dream we couldn't ignore. On a quiet afternoon, lounging on our rooftop riad in Marrakech, we found ourselves imagining a place of our own, a bed and breakfast where guests could escape, unwind, and step into a different time.
Little did we know that this search would lead us to something truly magical. We didn't find a Riad, but we did find a charming fixer-upper in the heart of Riebeek Kasteel. From the very first moment, we knew it was meant to be.
Built in the late 1800s, this heritage home became the perfect canvas for our vision: as we peeled back the layers of time, our vision became clear to create a space that celebrates the elegance, charm, and spirit of the 1920s. Countless hours were spent restoring its character while weaving in vintage glamour and modern comfort, a place where the sophistication of Art Deco design could meet the soul of South African history.
Today it stands as a testament to passion, patience and the beauty of a well-loved dream. At The Tin Roof, every corner tells a story, and every guest becomes part of ours.
Welcome to our dream. Welcome to your getaway.
At The Tin Roof, each of our suites is more than a place to stay; it's a chapter in a story celebrating the glamour, artistry, and spirit of the 1920s. Inspired by icons of film, fashion, literature, and history, every space has been thoughtfully curated to reflect a distinct personality and style.
From the quiet elegance of Greta to the lavish sparkle of Charlie's suite, each suite captures a different facet of a bygone era. Antique furnishings, Art Deco accents, and luxurious fabrics create a setting where vintage beauty meets modern comfort.
Whether you're drawn to the literary ambience of The Eleanor Suite, the couture sophistication of The Clara Suite, or the bold vibrance of Josephine Baker's Boudoir, your stay promises to be as unique as the stories that inspired it.
No two suites are the same, yet each promises a blend of period-inspired design, luxurious amenities and a welcoming charm that invites you to relax, unwind, and immerse yourself in the magic of the roaring twenties.
