Rocky Pools

Rocky Pools is a beach house designed with a tasteful aesthetic, featuring unobstructed views and an uncluttered interior suitable for an ideal beach holiday. The property is protected from the ocean by a buffer of jagged rock pools and coastal fynbos vegetation. A short walk in one direction leads to Penguin Point, where a population of quirky birds resides, while a stroll in the opposite direction takes one to Betty's long, moody beach.

The prime setting is enhanced by a shady verandah equipped with lime-washed furniture and a sheltered barbecue area built around the local rock. Upon stepping through the wide glass sliding doors, the interior is immaculately clean, and the fittings and fabrics are tastefully coordinated. Persian rugs, down lighting, DStv, and a dishwasher lend a luxurious touch to the space.

The main bedrooms are en-suite and offer wide ocean views from their queen-size beds, while the open-plan living area is spacious and conducive to a very sociable weekend, combining a lime-washed country kitchen, a long dining table, and comfortable couches set around a massive hearth for those dark and stormy nights.

Activities in the area include the Harold Porter Botanical Garden with its walking trails and tea garden, the Stony Point penguin colony, which is a popular attraction for children, and the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, offering a number of hiking trails and incorporating both coastline and mountain terrain. Additionally, the Palmiet River and lagoon lie at the heart of the Kleinmond Coastal Reserve and provide opportunities for swimming and canoeing. The property is located within walking distance from the beach.
