From the moment we first made contact through to our departure, host Noelene could not have made us feel more welcome. She even served a wonderful Christmas lunch for guests and friends. The rooms were beautifully restored and clean and the welcome treat - home made Turkish Delight was irresistable. Starting the day with a home cooked gourmet breakfast was always indulgent. The large gracious rooms provide a space to retreat with a book, daydream whilst taking in the views or enjoy a game of pool. It was so peaceful and we can't wait to return!

We checked online for availability and arrived at their gate at 3pm, phoned the number on the gate and asked for a room. The manager said they had no vacancies and were fully booked. We parked outside, got online and their website and other sites, all showed full availability. We booked and paid online and went off for an hour to allow for processing. We returned, drove in and were met by by the manager. We said we had a reservation. She said we couldn't have. We insisted we did and offered to show her on our laptop. She continued arguing. We got our laptop and booted it up. She then went inside. she then returned and said - yes we did have a reservation. No apology just an excuse about the net. Nothing about the no vacancy untruth. The room was ok, small but clean. The view was good but no chairs to sit and enjoy it. The manager left at 6pm and we were left alone with most of the house in darkness. I have never felt so unwanted as a guest.

What a wonderful job has been done with this building. Every detail has been carefully considered. Attentive and charming hostess Noelene, is also a wonderful chef, and could not have been more helpful. Couldnt ask for more. Pity its so far from our home in the Western Cape, South Africa.

We have stayed at The Rocks a couple of times and loved it every time. The old house is full of character and beautifully restored, the gardens are so meticulously managed and the breakfasts are to die for with all needs catered for including baking a loaf of gluten free bread especially for me. My father-in-law said "this is the place you visit are remember for the rest of your life"....cute.
