Fodor's Expert Review Bedrock Lodge

Comprising some of the oldest houses in town, some dating from 1855, and made up of three rooms in the main house and a handful of self-catering cottages, Bedrock is delightful, with interiors decorated with Africana and antiques that give it the atmosphere of an old-fashioned inn. Some rooms look out onto the street and offer sheltered areas with a pool to cool off in during summer (October through April). The cottages have fully-equipped kitchens (restaurants, shops, and bank are within walking distance), braai areas, internet, and TVs. Since they were built across the road from the beach more than 100 years ago in the old wood-and-iron mode, each of the houses has its own individual style and history. Meals can be arranged on request.
