Our room was small, but very well designed and the view was to die for. Sitting outside at night was incredible. They have larger rooms and they all have a great view. Breakfast was very good.

Brenton on the Rocks is, without a doubt, one of the most magnificent guesthouses I have ever experienced. Perched right on the cliffs, the location is breathtaking, but it’s the hospitality and attention to detail that truly set it apart.
What We Loved:
• The Setting: There is a beautiful, hidden private beach accessible via a path directly from the property. It felt like our own secret paradise.
• The Room & Property: Our suite was beautifully appointed and decorated with impeccable taste....

This hotel was incredible. The location is excellent, the hotel itself is quite interesting and there are many places to explore, the food and drink were excellent - as were the staff who provided them, the room was remarkable. This is a must-stay hotel if you are considering staying in the area. I would return in a heartbeat if travels bring me there - and I would bring as many as I could.
