Baie rustig en veilig in pragtige natuurskoon.

Baie lekker gebly, dankie. Die verblyf is skoon, gemaklik en met 'n wonderlike uitsig op die see en rotse.

Opwindend.

Vreeslike lekker plek. Mooiste uitsig. Bobbejane is baie gemaklik, glad nie so wild as wat ons al op ander plekke ervaar het nie. Die verwelkomspakkie was great. Ek het lanklaas om 'n vuur gesit en marshmallows gebraai. Elke dag was 'n belewenis om 'n nuwe diertjie te kon sien. Rocklands on Sea is vreeslik lekker ingerig. Ek het die stort geloof wat nie 'n deur op gehad het nie. Wat 'n lekker ervaring om 'n uitsig oor die see te kan hê terwyl jy jou hare afspoel. Die bed was vreeslik gemaklik om in te slaap. Incheck was baie maklik. Die bobbejane het bietjie belemmer dat ons deure oopmaak terwyl ons daar was, nie omdat ons bang was vir hulle nie. Hulle doen letterlik niks behalwe kom haal kos op 'n baie rustige manier. Maar nadat ons ontbyt gevat is, het ons maar besluit om die deure toe te hou selfs al is ons tuis. Hoewel, mens kan vinnig hul tydroetine optel. Defnitief sal ons weer en weer en weer en weer terug gaan. Rocklands on Sea sal defnitief op ons pensioentoer wees. Geen WiFi of TV wat dit nog lekkerder gemaak het, ons kon bietjie boek lees en kontak maak met die hele familie. Amazing plek en 'n moet besoek.

Exciting.

Terribly nice place. Most beautiful view. Baboons are very comfortable, not at all as wild as we have experienced in other places. The welcome pack was great. I haven't sat around a fire roasting marshmallows in a long time. Every day was an experience to be able to see a new animal. Rocklands on Sea is very nicely decorated. I praised the shower that didn't have a door on it. What a nice experience to be able to have a view of the sea while rinsing your hair. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in. Check in was very easy. The baboons prevented us from opening doors a bit while we were there, not because we were afraid of them. They literally do nothing but come and collect food in a very quiet way. But after our breakfast was taken, we just decided to keep the doors closed even if we were at home. Although, one can quickly pick up their time routine. We will definitely be going back again and again and again and again. Rocklands on Sea will definitely be on our retirement tour. No WiFi or TV which made it even more enjoyable, we could read a little book and connect with the whole family. Amazing place and a must visit.

Lovely 4-night breakaway stay in stunning location.

House is very comfortable, well stocked. We loved the indoor fireplace. Absolutely beautiful views from the bedrooms. Both bathrooms could do with a shelf/vanity for toiletry items. Visitors must definitely be very vigilant with the hungry baboons!

Excellent location with the sea on your doorstep.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend for our wedding anniversary. The house was neat and clean. Firewood provided in- and outside. The view of the sea was exceptional. There was a problem with the alarm, but security arrived within 5 minutes. Definitely money well spent.

Perfekte ligging.

Ons het vir 'n naweek in Rocklands gebly en was baie tevrede met die akkomodasie. Die huis is voor teen die rotse en jy kyk uit oor die see na Kaappunt se vuurtoring. Agter die huis is die ongelooflike mooi berge. Die uitsig vanuit die hoofslaapkamer is onverbeterlik. Die huis het alles gehad wat nodig was met 'n oulike braai area. Ek kan die huis sterk aanbeveel.

Perfect location.

We stayed in Rocklands for a weekend and were very satisfied with the accommodation. The house is in front of the rocks and you look out over the sea to Cape Point's lighthouse. Behind the house are the incredibly beautiful mountains. The view from the master bedroom is unbeatable. The house had everything needed with a cute braai area. I can highly recommend the house.

Rustig met pragtige uitsigte.

Rocklands on Sea is 'n ideale wegbreekbestemming as jy wil ontsnap van die geraas en bedrywighede van die stad. Dit het 'n lieflike ligging met pragtige uitsigte uit omtrent elke vertrek. Die kombuis is goed ingerig met alles wat jy nodig het. Gaan beslis weer terug kom!

Quiet with beautiful views.

Rocklands on Sea is an ideal getaway destination if you want to escape the noise and activity of the city. It has a lovely location with beautiful views from almost every room. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Will definitely come back again!

Lovely house, beautiful sea views.

The experience was very good, but the presence of the baboons makes it average, if not unpleasant. The rogue baboon visited us on Saturday morning, turning all the doorknobs, trying all the sliding doors to look for a way in. Quite a scary experience, needless to say, the rest of the weekend we spent with locked doors and closed windows, a little locked in really. The baboon problem is out of control, and it seems as if there's no solution to it.

Stunning location and beautiful surrounds. It was just very overpriced at R2000 per night. Won’t be back because of that.

Shower doesn’t have a door, so the bathroom floor floods with each use. Several broken/aged window frames and some windows don’t close properly. Didn’t feel safe knowing the windows can easily be opened form outside. Wind hisses through all the gaps which is disturbing while sleeping. Lovely fire pit though and kitchen was well set up with everything one needs. Bottle of wine and chocolates was very welcome. The photos definitely look a little more upmarket than in real life. Thank you.

Rocklands on Sea 's response

Hi Janez. This is very disappointing. Indeed you had a R1000 discount on your booking. Further we gave you an early check in and late check out. It may be expensive to you, but we are half the price of the nearest beech front property. In fact it would cost you roughly the same to stay in a group dorm in Cape Town for four people for the same price, sharing a communal bathroom. This accommodation is in a world heritage site, right in the Kogelburg and right on the beach. Its a pity you felt unsafe even with an alarm, and no historical crime in Rooi Els over the past couple of years. You also have armed response with a 2-5minute response time. Best of luck in the future

Pragtig en goed ingerig.

Rocklands on Sea is perfek geleë, naby aan die strand en reg op die rots om te stap of om net te sit en kyk na die see met 'n glas wyn. Die huis was baie goed ingerig met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Die gasheer was vriendelik en altyd beskikbaar om te help. Van ons kant af, definitief, 12 uit 10.

Beautiful and well appointed.

Rocklands on Sea is perfectly located, close to the beach and right on the rock for walking or just sitting and looking at the sea with a glass of wine. The house was very well furnished with everything one needs. The host was friendly and always available to help. From our side, definitely, 12 out of 10.

Good value for money. Peaceful, tranquil atmosphere, breathtaking views from all sea-facing windows. Immaculate and beautiful interior and facilities.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Rocklands on Sea. The house is meters away from the rocky shore and offers beautiful views. Mathew and Jace are warm, friendly and efficient hosts. Their home breathes of the love and care they took with the interior and attention to detail to ensure a comfortable stay. We will most certainly be back.
