“An elegant grand dame of a hotel boasting a spectacular location, set against a rock, overlooking the coast. Rooms are romantic and traditional with hardwood floors, private balconies, and antiques. The saltwater pool sits within a pretty garden and there's an excellent restaurant too.”

The Rock Hotel

Proudly serving a Who’s Who of guests since 1932, this elegant grand dame uncorks the genie of nostalgia with lashings of 'eau de colonial' charm. Clinging to the Rock’s west face at seagull level, the views of Africa across the action-packed Strait are spellbinding.
