Palm Rock Ocean Retreat: Reconnect with Nature in Simon’s Town
As someone who is passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves through experiences in nature, I've poured my heart into creating a space that reflects this very philosophy: Palm Rock Ocean Retreat.
When I decided to relocate to Cape Town, South Africa, I was immediately drawn to Simon’s Town with its close proximity to stretches of magnificent kelp forests, a colony of endangered African Penguins and the breathtaking Cape of Good Hope National Park. I found a house that I loved but in order for it to become my dream home, Palm Rock needed to be adapted to blend more harmoniously with the natural environment.
After some work, the three-bedroom house is now powered by the sun through rooftop solar panels and the house is plumbed with mountain water that is purified and drinkable. The garden around the house has also been extensively landscaped so that all 600+ plants that grow here are indigenous to the area. Our commitment to sustainability is woven into the fabric of Palm Rock Ocean Retreat and our eco-friendly practices ensure minimal environmental impact.
Features of Palm Rock

An outdoor shower so you can rinse yourself off after exploring the local kelp forests.

Magnificent ocean and mountain views that instil a sense of tranquillity and awe.
