Exclusive-use pool overlooking the vlei with deck area for sunbathing and stunning views, plus outdoor showers for rinsing off the beach sand. Comes serviced, with secure parking and free WiFi. The property consists of two separate houses that are joined. The owners live on the one side and, available for lets, is the other side called Red Box. This is the house you are viewing. For a video of the house, please g--gle 'Red Box on Vimeo Kim'. The beautiful and extensive stretch of Robberg beach is a couple of minutes walk away, and Robberg itself is a 30 minute walk away.
