Fodor's Expert Review Brenton on the Rocks

276 Steenbras St., Brenton-on-Sea, Western Cape, 6570, South Africa

This understated bed-and-breakfast is perched on a cliff in the quiet coastal hamlet of Brenton-on-Sea, so there are breathtaking ocean views from the suites and spacious public rooms. A steep, twisty path leads to a small beach, but the main beach is some distance away. All the well-equipped accommodations have kitchenettes, and there are also two well-equipped communal kitchens where you can whip up meals and then serve them in the sea-view dining room or on the verandah. It's a bit like having your own beach house. Ask for a honeymoon suite—even if you're not on honeymoon—for the roomy showers and tubs.

PROS

  • pretty heated pool on the terrace
  • on a gorgeous spot over the water
  • restaurant nearby

CONS

  • standard doubles have limited views
  • very busy in season
  • not on the main beach
