On The Rocks

47 Brook Street, Bakoven, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

On The Rocks is an exquisite two-bedroom beach cottage tucked directly against the rugged shoreline of Bakoven, one of Cape Town’s most exclusive coastal neighbourhoods. With the Atlantic Ocean just metres away, this character-filled retreat combines beach-house charm, exceptional sea views and remarkable privacy.
The lower level centres around a sunken lounge and open-plan dining area, where wooden floors and relaxed coastal interiors create a welcoming atmosphere. Sliding doors open onto a shaded sea-facing deck, while an adjoining sunroom incorporates unique seating formed around the property’s natural boulders.
The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped and includes a walk-in fridge, dishwasher and breakfast table for four. Outside, decks lead towards a small swimming pool nestled amongst the rocks, with ladders providing access down towards the rocky shoreline and beach.
Upstairs are two king-bedded rooms, two bathrooms and an informal TV lounge with a telescope for stargazing. Large windows capture beautiful ocean views throughout.
Peaceful, private and wonderfully distinctive, On The Rocks offers an intimate seaside escape where the sound and scenery of the Atlantic are ever-present.

On The Rocks has the relaxed character of a classic coastal cottage, with clapboard detailing, wooden floors and interiors designed around its extraordinary position on the Bakoven shoreline.
The sunken lounge opens directly onto a shaded wooden deck overlooking the rocks and ocean. Alongside it, a sunny enclosed living area incorporates natural boulders into its seating, creating one of the home’s most unusual spaces.
The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering, while a sea-facing breakfast area opens onto the porch. Outside, multiple decks provide places to relax and dine, with a BBQ area and small swimming pool incorporated into the rocky landscape.
Upstairs, an informal TV lounge opens onto an ocean-view balcony and includes a telescope for evening stargazing. Both bedrooms are comfortably appointed, with the main bedroom featuring a spacious en-suite bathroom.
