Whale Rock Cottage Whale Rock Cottage is set in Murdoch Valley, and hosts guests from around the world! The modern bathroom has a shower, vanity and toilet.

Whale Rock Cottage is nestled along the slopes of Murdoch Valley in Simons Town. It is set directly behind the imposing Whale Rock also called Spanish Rock, where the legendary dive-spot of A-frame is found. It is here that the Academy award-winning My Octopus Teacher was filmed.

“On The Rocks” is a modern and recently revamped two-bedroomed and self-contained ground-floor unit, with an open-pla

n lounge, dining room and kitchen. A large and inviting braai patio leads onto the decked pool area, with potted olive trees adding to the Mediterranean ambience. The design and layout completely protects guests from the prevailing south-easterly winds. Every window offers breath-taking views of the ocean and mountains of this special location. It is a five-minute walk to Fisherman's Beach, a fifteen-minute walk to the world-renowned Boulders Beach and the popular Wind-Mill Beach dive spot. A ten-minute drive will take you through the centre of beautiful Simons Town, to the Harbour Bay Mall

As I paused after a stunning walk with our rescue dog (Oreo) this morning, I was interested to hear the comments of passing cyclists as they came over the rise from Simons Town at Fisherman’s Beach…
“O wow!”
“Stunning!”
“Look at that!”
“Quite something!”

Living in this area is an amazing blessing, and I’m always happy to share it with our guests! ❤️
