Ramsgate Accommodation / Whaleback Cottage Ramsgate Accommodation / Holiday Home in Ramsgate

WhaleBack Cottage - Olde Ramsgate - was built around 1915 and was the first holiday cottage built in Ramsgate, hence the superb position. This quaint rock cottage on the seas edge overlooks "Little Billy Bay" with its lagoon. Numerous changes were made over the years to make it more comfortable for holidays, the latest being the addition of a gas braai and large shadeport over a portion of the pooldeck for outdoor comfort.

The Cottage is named after a huge rock situated in the sea directly in front of "whaleback" - A favourite low tide fishing spot amongst locals.
