Guest access
On the Rocks offers two fully private, independently bookable homes (On the Rocks 1 & On the Rocks 2). You are currently viewing the larger house (On the Rocks 1), situated at the top of the property, accessible only by foot due to the steep incline of the private road that separates the two homes. Please note that parking is available at the base of the property, and you'll need to walk up a set of stairs to reach your home.
To view On the Rocks 2 please open this link: On The Rocks 2
If you're interested in renting both homes, feel free to reach out. Thank you!
Other things to note
- Please note that there is a steep incline with a set of stairs you’ll need to walk up to reach the house.
