    This is such a beautiful place! It’s calming, peaceful and has all the facilities you need. I love that it’s solar because there’s no loadshedding. It’s a walk away from the beach and you get to watch the sunset even from your bedroom. My family...

Our family fell in love with Rocky Bay on the View in 2018. 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 and leaving your stresses at home.
