Daigas Edge is a camp guided by the triple ‘R’ ethos of reduce, reuse and recycle. To reduce their footprint they have stylishly repurposed 20-foot shipping containers into the most disarming of guest rooms. The property is intentionally off grid and is 100 per cent solar-powered. Each of the five en-suite rooms with a verandah and a shade pergola is tucked privately among the evergreen Mediterranean buckthorn.
