Rugged Rocks Beach Cottages is situated right on the beach in Port Alfred, heart of South Africa's Sunshine Coast.
Nestled amongst the natural and unspoilt coastal forest of indigenous vegetation, our self-catering accommodation varies from "exquisite" new honeymoon suites to elevated wooden chalets and secluded beach cottages, all nestled amongst Milkwood trees and indigenous sea bush on a ten acre property with a private beach for your enjoyment.
Our charm lies in the tranquility of the surrounding area which is home to a variety of buck, other small animals and abundant birdlife.
We offer excellent fishing, endless beaches, enchanting rock pools and leisurely walks through the indigenous bush. All this, together with the nearby golf course and a host of leisure activities in and around Port Alfred makes this the ideal holiday for the whole family.
