Located on the rocky outcrop where the historic Steenbras River Tea Room owned by Robert Quarmby until 1946 once stood, the Monkey Rock self-catering cottage continues to enthrall visitors with crashing surf and stunning views.

Ideally suited for one, two, or three couples or families wishing to sit back and relax with their favorite beverage while enjoying each other's company and the sights and sounds of nature at its best without any outside interference.

Unless they are being battered by one of the Cape's violent storms which are an experience in itself you can fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves gently lapping at the rocks below. 

With deep water close inshore the probability of seeing whales is increased.

Set directly on the river and oceanfront, this property has a landscaped garden, tide pools, and barbecue facilities.
The more agile and adventurous can dive or fish for a fresh seafood dinner or hike up the mountain to the famous Crystal pools and waterfall for a refreshing swim.

The uninterrupted panoramic views of False Bay and the surrounding mountain range extend to Hangklip and even Cape Point on a clear day.

Half an hour to Cape Town International Airport Monkey Rock cottage is well-positioned as a weekend escape from Cape Town or Johannesburg where you can experience some of the best land-based whale watching in the world (June to November).

This solar-powered holiday home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, two flat-screen TVs, free wireless internet, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a covered veranda, and a patio with river and ocean views.

South Africa may be famous for its Big Five, but the marine wildlife is also impressive! Every year whales and dolphins treat visitors to an unforgettable display.
Along with other wild and birdlife Rock Hyrax or Dassie (the closest living relative to the Elephant), Cape Fur Seals, and Clawless Otters are often spotted sunning themselves on the rocks or chasing fish in the river mouth.
