Ocean's Roar

So sorry our bookings this month could not proceed because of Covid-19. We look forward to hosting you once this tragedy is over - we do hope you'll book again some time in the future. Meantime, we're here for South Africa's lockdown period. Dressed up tonight to celebrate a birthday; supper including fresh vegetables delivered from a nearby farm. Life could be much worse than trapped at Ocean's Roar for a few weeks! Stay safe, wherever you are - Regards, Steve, Tanya and Isobella

Perfect day at Ocean’s Roar, 28 degrees C and no wind. Awaiting European clients on safari in Namibia - I think they’ll be happy down here at the sea 😄👍

Appreciate this great review of our beach house - "an absolutely amazing secret hideaway". Kind of says it all, really.

Holiday crowds thinning in Scarborough and our 6th or 7th clients this season about to check in - a great time to be here 👏👏 House booked through to March and, based on last year, will be busy to May. Much appreciation 🙏🏾

Guided tour of Cape Point. Explaining the workings of the Great Kiln. This was the main economic enterprise of my forbears, the Smith Family, when living here in the 1800's.

Happy to take an American family on a guided tour of nearby Cape Point today; here's their flattering review. Thanks Smaranda!
If you'd like the same, please request a tour when booking at Ocean's Roar. My tour highlights family history from the days when my forbears owned the Cape Point Farm. I also reference numerous locations mentioned in my two books:

Another beautiful day at Ocean's Roar - but unhappy for some - no one injured, fortunately. Reminder to drive safely when you come down to paradise.

A grey dreich day, as they say in Scotland. Awaiting clients from Switzerland. Pity we can’t control the weather. I think this is the 12th rental since 1 Dec, great reviews and 5 stars on AirBnB. All good at Ocean’s Roar 👍

A cracking December at 'Ocean's Roar' - we're sold out. Been a great launch month for our Scarborough holiday house. We couldn't resist reserving Christmas for ourselves, as a reward... Days are still available after New Year's Eve.
