Rox Villa is situated in Rooi-Els an idyllic beach house location, a mere 45 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and an hour from the Cape Town City Centre. The property lies sleepily under the Klein-Hangklip mountain in the Kogelberg Biosphere and is a sanctuary from hurried city-life where you will experience ocean and mountains, surrounded by waves, rocks, fauna and flora. The space Rox Villa offers privacy, peace and comfort with direct access to mountains and ocean where you have an immediate connection with both. Rox Villa is a place of breath-taking beauty where every room in the house promises a view more astounding than the previous. Whether you are a wine lover, outdoor enthusiast, landscape photographer, or you are simply looking for somewhere magnificent to get away to, Rox Villa Guest Beach House is the place for you! Guest access Rooi Els perches like a child's puzzle piece on the edge of Route 44, the first little seaside village after leaving Gordon's Bay, before the landmark of Hangklip rock face. Rooi-Els is also a registered conservancy in its own right, the beauty of the environment devotedly preserved by its residents. The residential part of town winds along a couple of streets that are set closer to the shore. Homes vary from little seaside cottages to the more opulent beachside manors. Rooi Els does not boast a long strip of sandy beach as its angular nature means that the little town is surrounded on three sides by water. To the east is the Rooi Els River estuary that drains into the sea after flowing under the bridge that carries Route 44 across it. It is a beautiful beach to walk on, swim in and dive and boat from, and sunsets here are notorious. It also functions as an excellent whale watching site during winter. Birders love Rooi Els for the endemic Cape rockjumper, rock thrush and other unusual birds, and residents even claim to have seen the odd leopard on their roads on a moonlit night. On the north bank of the Rooi Els River, roughly a kilometre from the sea, is the Rooiels Cave where Stone Age relics have been uncovered. Whilst holidaying in Rooi Els a car is a must to enable you to visit the many surrounding tourist attractions. Access to beaches, hiking trails, shops and restaurants can be done on foot. There is ample secure parking on the property. Other things to note Refundable damage deposit of R8000 due one week prior to arrival via eft charged by the host.

Apart from a scattering of tiny shops and restaurants in Rooi Els, the area is focused on things to do that are based solely on the beauty of the ocean and surrounding mountains. I am a lover of the active ocean lifestyle and my passion is sharing this knowledge by providing my guests with the most rewarding and personalized experience in an unforgettable location.
