Rocklands House  

Nestled near Boulders Beach on the Cape Town coast, this beach-area guesthouse sits close to Middle Beach, Seaforth Beach and Stoney Beach. About 53 km by road from Cape Town International Airport, it’s an easy base for family-friendly beach days and coastal exploring.

Rooms are warmly decorated with straightforward comforts like a TV, DVD player and private shower (amenities vary by room category). The property has a relaxed, communal vibe with shared spaces and kid-friendly touches to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

Dip into both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, soothe sore muscles in the sauna or massage room, and join the on-site diving club for ocean adventures. On the grounds you’ll also find a library, ping-pong, picnic and barbecue areas, a children’s playroom, parking and concierge-style transfer arrangements.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and there’s on-site parking; staff can help arrange transfers and car rental for business or leisure needs.

A shared kitchen lets you cook whatever you want, while picnic and barbecue areas make informal meals social and simple — perfect for self-catering stays near the shore.
