Rockwood Farm House was designed and built in 2009 by well-known Durban architect, Richard Stretton from Koop Design. The black exterior provides camouflaged in Summer and warmth in Winter. The house was redecorated in 2022 by Douglas and Douglas in a palette that reflects the changing colours of the seasons: from brilliant green in Summer to golden yellow in Winter.

For large gatherings of up to twelve people, Rockwood Farm House can be rented together with Rockwood Farm Cottage as the units are less than 50m apart. The units border the Karkloof Nature Reserve and the closest town is Howick with numerous shopping options and restaurants.
