About Salt and Beam
A handcrafted coastal retreat in Cannon Rocks, created for guests who appreciate quiet spaces, thoughtful design and the slower rhythm of seaside living.
Introduction
Salt & Beam is a small, design-led self-catering holiday home in Cannon Rocks, Eastern Cape, created for guests who want more than a standard place to stay.
The home was shaped around warmth, texture and atmosphere — exposed beams, natural brick, sealed concrete floors, handcrafted timber details and soft lighting all working together to create a calm and memorable coastal retreat.
It sleeps up to 4 guests and is especially suited to couples, small families and friends looking for a quiet beach escape within walking distance of the sea.
Why We Created Salt & Beam
Salt & Beam was created from a love for simple coastal living, natural materials and spaces that feel personal.
We wanted to create a holiday home that feels warm, grounded and memorable — a place where guests can slow down, enjoy the quiet character of Cannon Rocks and feel at home from the moment they arrive.
Every detail was chosen with intention, from the exposed beams and handcrafted timber features to the warm lighting and relaxed indoor-outdoor flow. The result is a home that feels honest, calm and full of character.
A Home with Character
Crafted details
Handcrafted timber features, custom lighting and natural textures give the home a warm, personal feel.
Natural materials
Exposed brick, sealed concrete floors and timber elements create a grounded coastal atmosphere.
Indoor-outdoor living
The open-plan living area flows easily toward the outdoor space, ideal for relaxed meals, slow mornings and quiet evenings.
Designed for slower stays
Salt & Beam is best suited to guests who want to unwind, reconnect and enjoy Cannon Rocks at an easy pace.
Why Cannon Rocks
Cannon Rocks is one of those coastal villages where life still feels slower. It offers beach walks, fresh air, quiet streets and easy access to nearby Boknes, Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred.
Salt & Beam was created to fit that rhythm — relaxed, unpretentious and close to the natural beauty of the Eastern Cape coast.
