John & Valentina Nutt
John and Valentina Nutt are the owners and hosts of On The Rocks Villa, a luxury self-catering beach house in Eersterivierstrand, Tsitsikamma, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The couple transformed the property into a high-end coastal retreat driven by a shared passion for design, hospitality, and the natural beauty of the Tsitsikamma coastline.
Valentina Nutt serves as the property's interior designer. Every room at On The Rocks Villa reflects her curatorial approach — a considered blend of modern coastal elegance, warm wooden finishes, and original artwork that gives each bedroom a distinct character. John Nutt selected the location for its direct Indian Ocean frontage and proximity to the Tsitsikamma region's natural attractions.
Together, John and Valentina Nutt manage all guest communications and provide arriving guests with a custom home manual — a curated guide to the property, local restaurants, secluded beaches, and recommended activities in the Tsitsikamma area.
As hosts, John and Valentina are available by WhatsApp and phone throughout your stay. Before check-in, guests receive a detailed home manual covering house rules, Wi-Fi details, kitchen instructions, and the hosts' personal recommendations for dining and activities in the surrounding Tsitsikamma region.
On The Rocks Villa has been recognised as a winner of the Booking.com Traveller Review Award 2026, reflecting consistently high guest satisfaction scores (9.5 out of 10) across categories including cleanliness, location, facilities, and host responsiveness.
"Welcome to your home away from home, where the waves whisper and the sunset waits to be admired."
