Email Castle Rock Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com

Perched on the sea cliffs in a private conservation area between Simons Town and Cape Point. If you are a true nature lover and dream about getting away from it all, then Castle Rock is for you! On entering this 3-bedroomed Sea Cottage, the overwhelming feeling is of light and space. Sea birds wheel overhead, seals, otters and penguins play around in the rocks and whales and dolphins come to calve in the safe haven of the bay right below the terrace. Best of all, you don't have to sacrifice comfort for nature in this peaceful cottage! Castle Rock’s tranquil, romantic, rejuvenating and inspiring beauty is ideal for seaside holidays, honeymooners, nature and aqua enthusiasts for long or short periods of time.

Though Castle Rock is self-catering and an oasis of privacy, it is maintained at all times by a courteous and professional staff.

Start your day by celebrating the Sunrise on the Sea Terrace, a stone’s throw away from the shimmering blue Indian Ocean set amidst and indigenous garden. Enjoy your breakfast around the 8 seater table while spotting whales, birds, dolphins and seals in the Bay. You may even have an extra guest join you, Eric, the local tame Baboon!

Spend the day hiking, scuba diving, swimming or lounging around on the terrace deck chairs or cozy sofa with a book in the sea facing Living Area, which leads out onto the terrace. Enjoy evening cocktails from the Bar Area and watch the sky change colours at sundown over the Indian Ocean.

For your culinary urges, Castle Rock offers a gourmet kitchen stocked with cutlery and crockery to serve up to 10 people. The open plan Dining Area is a space to share and reflect on the day amongst family and friends. After, dinner how about a game of pool? The upstairs mezzanine Games Room is spacious enough for all to enjoy.
