Overview
Rocky Pools is a far cry from some of the face-brick monstrosities along this stretch of the Bettys Bay coast. As far as beach houses go, it sits way near the top of the pile - tasteful design, unobstructed views, and an uncluttered interior befitting the ideal beach holiday.
As the name suggests, Rocky Pools is protected from the Bettys Bay ocean by a buffer of jagged rock pools and coastal fynbos. A short stroll to the left leads to Penguin Point and its population of quirky birds, while an amble to the right lands you on Betty's long moody beach.
The prime setting is exploited with a shady veranda equipped with lime-washed Morris-style furniture, and a sheltered braai area built around the local rock. Stepping through the wide glass sliding doors (again, a sensible choice), the interior is spotless and the fittings and fabrics tastefully coordinated. Kilims, downlighters, DSTV (with a choice of four remote controls) and a dishwasher lend a definite luxurious touch, complemented by screed floors and crete stone walls.
The main bedrooms are ensuite and have 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 limewashed country kitchen, a long dining table and comfy couches set around a massive hearth for those dark and stormy nights. A good choice if you can afford the price tag.

NOTE: If a search was made without stipulating the month of occupation the rate shown on the search results page is for the lowest cost month and the least expensive room. Where pricing is "per unit" the Average Price Per Person based on maximum occupancy is used for the price range comparison. A search made for Homes and Villas however will always be based on the full daily rate of the unit irrespective of the number of people the unit sleeps.
Rates are deemed correct at time of publication and may fluctuate depending on supply and demand. Establishments maintain their rates online and any differences should be referred to the Establishment's staff. Quotations once accepted are binding.

POSITIVE:
The beautiful unobstructed view over the sea and rocks from the lovely shaded stoep.
NEGATIVE:
Dirty plates and glasses in cupboard. Reason: dishwasher needs a service or a cleaning - it does not wash clean.
Warm water geyser not capable of supplying enough warm water for half the guests.
One double bed had a terribly uncomfortably mattress.
