Mountain & Seaside Retreat within a UNESCO Biosphere -

Architectural Masterpiece sitting within the world's most biodiverse eco system, within strolling distance of a quiet and intimate beach. Nature lovers retreat, 50 mins from CPT airport, along the False Bay Coast Line, south side of the Cape Peninsula on the Whale Coast, with the most gorgeous drive amongst fynbos mountains with breathtaking views.

5 km’s north of Pringle Bay, 14km Betty’s Bay, 26km from Kleinmond, and 62km from the side town of Hermanus, known world-wide for its Whale Festival and sightings of Southern Right Whales between Winter and Spring (June to November) the ideal time to view. It’s not unusual to spot these beautiful mammals right in our village.

Sporting activities not far away includes Hiking, Cycling, Kite Surfing, Walking, Kayaking

Leisure activities include seaside walks, Whale watching in season, beautiful wine farms, markets, hand-made crafts, penguin colony, wild horses, all a leisurely drive away. Cape Town central, Stellenbosch, Franschoek are within an hours drive, so this is an excellent base from which to explore all that Cape Town has to offer.

Here you’ll be close to nature, enjoying clear night skies unpolluted by street lights & surrounded by spectacular mountain ranges, with a stunning coastline stretching out to False Bay with beautiful sunsets from Rooiels own intimate beach a short walk away.

The Villa: Ascend the floating staircase to open plan living space accentuated by tinted windows ensuring comfortable temperature. Views towards mountains & village with a wrap around cantilever balcony designed to hinder our resident baboons. Imported Fratelli Onofri oven, separate scullery & easy flow to outdoor patio & jacuzzi.

You’ll appreciate the quality and workmanship throughout this beautiful home, built to international standards, from the moment you ascend the floating concrete staircase to the living space on a single level. European designed fittings and imported Italian granite & marble enhance a modern feel, further accentuated by the high ceilings and well proportioned rooms, many air conditioned. All light fittings are dimmable Led lights and the tinted windows ensure a comfortable inside temperature throughout the year.

All 3 Bedrooms are en-suite with huge modern bathrooms, including rain showers, Bellini waterfall taps and Geberit concealed cisterns. Cupboards in two of the bathrooms have full mirror glass doors. A Study/lounge area leading off the main lounge is the perfect space for someone to work from home, and has sleeper couch which folds down to a double bed for two extra guests.

The Garage has space for your car and an additional space has been converted into a laundry with an extra large washing machine and tumble dryer. Here you'll find the snug/movie room, tucked away with a big screen to snuggle up on those days where chilling is the order of the day. Our cleaning service can be arranged at an additional cost

We believe you'll appreciate the open spaces of this beautifully designed modern villa. We're waiting to welcome you.
