Rooi Els is a hidden gem in the Western Cape, known for its pristine

village, surrounded by waters on three sides, offers exceptional
whale-watching in winter and is loved by birders for sightings of the
rare Cape rockjumper and rock thrush. With no streetlights to disturb
the sky, Rooi Els invites you to gaze at the stars and explore the
local village charm, from the quaint Anemone Street with its cozy café
and eco-center to the narrow, scenic roads winding along the coastline.
Outdoor enthusiasts staying at Rock Jumper Country House can indulge in
nearby activities like fishing, swimming, and guided walks or explore
the beach and river estuary perfect for boating and sunset views. With
wine-tasting spots just a short drive away, guests are positioned to
enjoy both the natural tranquility of Rooi Els and the diverse
experiences of the surrounding Cape Winelands, making it an ideal base
for a memorable holiday escape.
Baboons visit the mountains often. It is important to always keep in

necessary precautions.
