80 guests' feedbackVery nice stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms very neat and clean, we will definitely want to visit here again.
Most beautiful, cleanest and best view place to stay that we have experienced so far. Decor of room is beautiful, sunny and light. Bedding, pillows and towels smell so clean and fresh. Top notch breakfast. Host and hostess are so friendly and helpful. Thank you very much, will stay there again.
The room was very neat and beautiful. We had a very nice stay.
Calm and tranquil environment. Breathtaking scenery. Pleasant environment. Outstanding breakfast.
Magnificent place with superb hosts and exactly what the pictures and description said it would be. Thank you, we will be back.
It is simply a beautiful place. The service is also excellent.
Incredible view. Beautiful room. Host and hostess extremely friendly. We had a wonderful stay at On the Rocks B&B. Will go again for sure.
Beautiful view! Right on the sea. Accommodation is clean and spacious. Nice balcony with a view of the ocean. Friendly owners and very helpful. Will recommend this place and will definitely go back!
Friendly and hospitable reception. Beautiful location.
Thank you Tinus for letting us stay there. It was a great treat!
On the Rocks B&B is a beautiful guesthouse. The room and bathroom were sparkling clean, nicely furnished and equipped with everything needed. The view was incredible. The breakfast was delicious and we were able to indulge a little (a welcome treat), as breakfast wasn't until 09:00. Thank you Sylvia and Tinus, for making us feel so welcome from the first step and booking us a table at a restaurant.
Although half of our stay was without power due to wildfire nearby, our host and wife went out of their way to ensure our stay met our and their standards. All our requests were met with a smile. Many thanks to Tinus and Sylvia for a pleasant weekend.
Clean and comfortable B&B. Unobstructed sea view. Definitely recommend place.
Fabulous stay, will definitely return.
The view is breathtaking and the owners very friendly and helpful. Great chat and visit. Will stop by again when we are in the area again.
Can really recommend it. Very nice visit with a view that is fantastic.
Food for the soul. The location of the guest house is really so special because your view is not obstructed by houses in front of it. Definitely a big plus for someone who likes to hear and see the sea.
Very nice view of the sea. Tinus and Sylvia went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. See us again for sure!
Our walkers couldn't stop talking about the beautiful view and really enjoyed their stay. We will definitely use Sylvia again.
The room we were in has an excellent view of the sea. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would go again just for the view and fresh sea air.
We recommend that the facilities of the accommodation be set out in a pamflet. We were harassed by mosquitoes, blissfully unaware that there was a device somewhere in a drawer to ward off mosquitoes. Breakfast at 9am is also unusually late.
Friendly hostess, delicious breakfast, neat, comfortable rooms, view of the sea was indescribably beautiful. Great to just relax. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
See stars.
The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was also impressive. I will definitely go again.
We will definitely go back again, and recommend On the Rocks to anyone. Friendly hospitable people, breakfast prepared with care, and overall setup gets 100 out of 100.
I was impressed with the service and the facility. The service was friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to all my acquaintances and friends. My friend is from Johannesburg and she is going to recommend it to her family and friends.
Excellent all round service. Pity more establishments aren't as good.
It was a very nice stay. Very friendly owners and the breakfast was wonderful. Will definitely go back.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and tidy and the owner and staff were very friendly. The breakfast was delicious and the location fantastic. We will stay here again.
On the Rocks is a superb B&B with wonderful hosts, safe parking, swimming pool and delicious breakfasts. The family's Jack Russell's appear at your breakfast table. Also look out for Egoli the gorgeous cat!
We would really recommend it, it is safe, tidy and private and reception was very friendly and helpful.
Had a great stay, experienced a lot of hospitality, nice breakfast and good service.
Very nice and peaceful stay. Delicious breakfast. Nice people and friendly reception. Fantastic sea views and beautiful sunset.
Hospitable. I would appreciate it if dinners were available on request - or recommendations can be made for eateries in the area.
Very nice stay. Will stay longer next time, the view and location overlooking the sea was amazing. The breakfast and the service in the dining room were of an excellent quality. Really a place to recommend.
This guesthouse's accommodation is sub-standard. Towels poor quality, as well as linen. Poor layout. Rooms difficult to access with very narrow spiral staircase inside or with side path outside. View nice. Breakfast is not served until 09:00. We left at 08:00 and no person on duty. Had to activate the gate inside and run out through gate that was closing.
Accommodation is comfortable. Thank you very much.
The guest house is very nice with a beautiful view of the sea. Tinus and Sylvia the owners make you feel at home. We really enjoyed the beautiful house, our room, the food and the view. I will recommend it to friends and family.
The beautiful view from our room with its own private stoep was amazing. The room was neat and comfortable. We were received with outstanding hospitality and immediately felt at home. A bonus is the quick walk down to the rocks and Stanford beach. We won't hesitate booking here again!
Lovely place for a stopover. Thank you, Tinus for your hospitality. Will definitely be returning!
Good location, right on the seafront.
Tinus and Sylvia are two professionals who made sure that we felt immediately at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them from the first moment. The guest house and room are located on the fairytale coastline at De Kelders. Every moment of our stay was an experience. When we left it felt like we were leaving friends behind.
It was very enjoyable, would recommend On the Rocks.
Everything was in place and the food was delicious.
Beautiful view. Nice breakfast. Customer service needs a lot of attention.
Beautiful view. Awesome!
See the stars.
A very friendly, well appointed and exceptionally clean B&B right on the rocks. The bedroom was of adequate size, the breakfast was of adequate size, the en suite semi-open shower (with gorgeous view of the breakers as you showered!) was of adequate size, the hosts' readiness to make last minute dinner reservations at the Blue Goose (usually one has to book days in advance!) was the clincher - this establishment is wonderful in so many ways. Thoroughly recommended. We hope to return one day.
Hospitality and service was outstanding.
We had a really nice stay. The guest house has the most beautiful view of the sea. The breakfast was fantastic and the people very friendly. We will definitely visit again.
Nice breakfast, accommodation and wonderful view of the sea from early to late.
Friendly, hospitable reception and service. Neat, clean and comfortable rooms with fantastic location.
Friendly and helpful staff at reception! Excellent location. Highly recommended!
From the very first moment right up until we left we enjoyed it. Tinus was an excellent host. He immediately made us feel welcome. He helped us with a flat tyre - took it off, had it repaired, put it back on and took us to our appointment. Room was cosy. Sea view to die for. Breakfast delicious. Really enjoyed our time there.
Hospitable, peaceful, great view, clean rooms and comfortable beds. Thinus made us feel very welcome from the first moment. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We found what we were looking for, complete rest, energy and friendliness, in a very relaxed atmosphere. It was a home away from home.
It is a pleasure to stay at On the Rocks.
The people of On the Rocks are extremely hospitable. The accommodation is fine. Had two rooms with sea view. Pool billiards was fun for the older children and adults. Extremely beautiful surroundings. Plenty to do in the area.
Rita gave us a warm feeling of hospitality. Room with view on the rocks is unique.
Super friendly people and beautiful location.
A very hospitable owner and a nice, clean large room with a beautiful view in a fantastic setting. What more do you want? Stay longer!
Nice, quiet place by the sea. Friendly people.
We had a great time at De Kelders' "Dripping Caves" and On the Rocks was ideal with a beautiful view and incredible breakfast!
The area may be too quiet for a young couple. The owners were particularly nice and welcomed us and made us feel at home. It's very neat and peaceful.
It was truly like a home away from home. We felt so comfortable and Thinus is a great host. It will definitely be our first choice next time. We had a great time listening to his experiences and simply learned a lot about history. It was incredibly nice to stay in such a clean place and have all the amenities at our disposal. My only problem is that Thinus gained a few kilograms every morning with his delicious breakfast! We will definitely go back if we are ever around again. Not once did we feel threatened or uncomfortable.
We will highly recommend this value for money B&B as well as TravelGround for all the SMS's and emails to keep us on track!!
Tinus and his wife are stunning people and we will definitely visit them again and recommend them to others.
A breathtaking view. Nice walking paths all along the coast. Great hosts. Very clean place to stay.
We enjoyed our stay and they where so helpful and eager to help. These guys are willing to spoil you.
Wonderful by the sea, owners incredibly hospitable and very helpful in terms of advice for places to eat and places of interest.
Hospitable and clean with a nice breakfast every morning. The view is really something special. Will definitely book with On The Rocks again.
An excellent choice. Private and quiet. Unimproved view. Nice breakfast and all the most important amenities. Would recommend to anyone. Tinus very good host. Should have stayed longer.
A personal reception from Tinus with a clear explanation about the B&B and the possibilities in the neighborhood of De Kelders. Nice location, dark room with one small shower and washbasin. Breakfast is meager and not what we are used to in the B&Bs we have visited for years in the Western Cape. Swimming pool is not really inviting, without parasols (no shade) and fine deckchairs.
Me, my husband and four-year-old son decided in December 2013 to take our first holiday as a family! After two weeks of visiting friends and family, we were ready to be on our own for a while. By this time I had already talked to Tinus on the phone, but was pleasantly surprised by the friendly welcome! Extra effort was made to accommodate my little boy, who by then was out like a candle! We were immediately offered a drink, and asked if the arrangements with breakfast would suit us. If not, they will accommodate us as best they can! Never was this couple pushy, in the way, out of the way, or unpleasant in any way! Our room was fantastically furnished, so out of my Grandma's house. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, and falling asleep in the evenings with the sound of the waves in your ears is something we will definitely come back to experience! The breakfast was a delicious treat every morning with scrambled eggs and sausage formulated to make a smiling face, which made my little boy enjoy it down to his little toe! If you fancy a genuine and homely atmosphere, with delicious breakfast and fantastic views, I can just say, On the Rocks B&B is where you go LekkeSlaap!
It had been very quiet... pretty much rested after a long year. Will book again for a holiday, but this time just longer.
A big thank you to Tinus and Sylvia for their hospitality, kindness and of course for the big breakfast in the mornings. All things considered, we would recommend ON THE ROCKS to our friends and family.
We had a wonderful stay. The host went out of his way to make us feel welcome and to make our time special. The food was delicious! We will definitely recommend it to family and friends! We'll be back soon!
Tinus is very hospitable and his attention and support are highly appreciated. The view is fantastic. The mattress of the bed you sleep on is of durable quality and especially people with back problems will sleep very comfortably. The breakfast is so delicious and not greasy. Rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly. It is very safe. This is a guest house where you can relax, sit on the porch with a lovely view.
