Nestled within the serene Steenbras Nature Reserve near Gordon's Bay, Rocky Bay on the View offers a tranquil coastal retreat. Our self-catering holiday home features a master bedroom with a king-sized bed, and an en-suite bathroom offering breathtaking ocean views where dolphins and whales can often be seen. The second bedroom offers two single beds with an adjacent bathroom equipped with a refreshing shower. The enclosed porch, with its sliding and stacking doors, allows the sea breeze to flow through on pleasant days or provides a cosy nook to watch the rain dance upon the ocean—a true embodiment of indoor-outdoor living. The lounge, complete with fireplace and satellite TV, opens onto an enclosed porch that invites the refreshing sea breeze. A fully equipped kitchen and outdoor braai area cater to culinary enthusiasts, while the communal garden often hosts sunbathing dassies, adding to the local charm. Embracing sustainable living, the property operates only on a solar power system, minimising environmental impact. This eco-conscious approach also means guests are unaffected by local load-shedding schedules. Guests can explore nearby hiking trails leading to hidden waterfalls and panoramic vistas, or visit renowned wine farms for tastings. The property's coastal location offers opportunities to observe dolphins, seals, and seasonal whale migrations. While mobile coverage is limited, complimentary Wi-Fi is available to keep guests connected. Rocky Bay on the View provides an ideal setting to disconnect from urban life and immerse oneself in nature's splendour.
Our family fell in love with Rocky Bay on the View in 2008. We decided that we would spend our holidays sipping wine on the front porch watching the natural sea life and sunsets. Slowly realising that we had to share this amazing experience with the rest of the world we decided to start advertising it. Since making this decision, Rocky Bay on the View has been very popular as more and more people experience the wonder and relaxation that sitting watching the waves brings to your life. We only ask one thing of our guests.... that you enjoy Rocky Bay on the View relaxing and unwinding leaving your stresses at home.
