An Architectural Masterpiece 50 mins from CPT airport, on the Whale Coast, with 360° views from a cantilever balcony designed to hinder our resident baboons. Ascend the floating staircase to living space accentuated by tinted windows ensuring comfortable temperature. Open plan with imported Fratelli Onofri oven, separate scullery & easy flow to an ocean facing covered patio & jacuzzi. All Bedrooms en-suite & study leading off with double Sofa Bed. Steps from Rooiels’ own intimate rocky beach.
I am building WITH - a Global Strengths Change Institute using my experience as a Strengths Coach where we measure people's talents and strengths, as well as Interdependence Rules of Engagement - these two elements being mutually inclusive for positive ongoing change. I love thinking up ideas, mobilising people and ideas, communicating, creating a new future, finding the best way forward, chocolate, travel, antiques, quirky art, family, friends, people, countryside, Paris, London, New York, Cape Town - my home city. I'm a person of integrity and good principles and will bend over backwards to accommodate interdependent requests - the operative word being interdependence.
Rooi-Els is a quaint little town situated 23km's from Gordon's Bay, and 25km's from Kleinmond, the closest towns. The picturesque views of the ocean and surrounding mountains, make it the perfect escape from busy city life. Our local village shop provides your basic amenities, but you will have to travel into Gordon's Bay or Kleinmond for bigger shops. The closest petrol station can be found in Betty's Bay, 11km's from the property. Take a 5 min walk down to Rocky Beach, our local beach, or a 10 min drive to Dappat se Gat for a truly breathtaking beach experience. Here you can explore the surrounding caves, after taking a dip in the refreshingly clear ocean, surrounded by small fish. Stony Point Penguin Colony is only 12km's away, or you could go kayaking along the Kleinmond Lagoon and have a look out for the local wild horses that roam along the waters edge.
