Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rooi-Els

Highly Recommended! We had an great stay at this beautiful home nestled along the scenic coastline of St. James. The views of the ocean were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and being just a short walk from some tidal pools and Muizenberg Beach was a huge bonus. The host was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, offering great recommendations for restaurants, things to do, and hidden gems in the area. We would love to go back!

Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Waking up, opening the curtains and watching the sun rise over the sea, whilst sipping a morning coffee was truly special. He best start to the day. A fantastic base to explore from and it was lovely to come back to and relax at the end of the day, felt very homely.

The Solitude Cottage on Amandalia Farm is a little slice of paradise. We had gorgeous views, comfortable accommodation, and very active wildlife around us. The stars at night were breathtaking! Such a peaceful, rejuvenating, soul-filling place. We cannot wait to go back!

Thank you Bruce for a truly wonderful stay, Whale Huys was an amazing stay. The location is stunning, absolutely everything you could want in terms of kitchen, electric blankets, gym and super luxury bedding! Our kids loved the pool. Had some great food out in Stanford, TJ’s in De Kelders and Cafe on the rocks. Shark diving nearby too was bucket list!

Beautiful cottage with stunning views. We thoroughly switched off and enjoyed the fire heated hot tub. Highly recommend

Perfect location, walkable to the vibe of Kloof and Bree street, A short drive to all the epic beaches, so close to Table mountain hiking or cable car. Beautiful, quirkly victorian, the deck is outstanding with 360 degree views of city and mountains. Kids had a blast in the hot tub. Felt safe and secure. Hosts were responsive and gave us a tour of the house. House a little dark inside but you will want to spend all the time on the roof anyway. Found the kitchen a bit un-user friendly. Not much counter space and fridge far away. But you will want to braai/bbq outisde anyway and spoilt for choice with coffee shops just around the corner. Overall a really wonderful experience!

This place is a hidden gem, wish we stayed longer. Thank you Iris.

Beautiful home – great getaway. Clean, chilled vibe, easy check-in. Had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing wooden cottage, I could see only this one in the area as most other houses around were in modern styles. Makes you feel that you are living in a cabin by the sea away from the world, though you have other houses around, the view of the bay and sea is immense. You can watch the sunrise from there and one morning we saw dolphins! The place is spacious and well equipped, the terrace is amazing to spend hours on watching the ocean. We were there between seasons so it wasn’t cold nor hot, it was perfect!

Fantastic spot. Liebrecht was a great host and extremely helpful with prior communication to our arrival

We really enjoyed staying in this house. There were a few challenges during our stay, but the host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Welcome wine was a nice touch!

I rented the house for my wife, two kids and some friends. We had a very great stay and a good time at the house. Everything was as expected and described by the owners. We had a very good communication with them before and during our stay. They are so lovely and helpful. Restaurants are close, also grocery store and a mall. The beach is just 7 minutes away by car and around 20-35min to downtown depending on traffic. Also once a week the house is cleaned with no extra charge. All together 5 Stars from us! Thank you very much.

Absolutely beautiful home in a gorgeous safe estate. Exceptional walks with breathtaking views. We felt like we’d had a month’s holiday in only a few days.

Lovely and peaceful with interior space even better than in the photographs. The unit had everything we needed and communication was clear an quick. Good location close to town but away from the crowds. As is clear from the pictures these unites are side-by-side, but they are still very private. (I guess you could have bad luck and a noisy neighbour.) Would definitely recommend.

Tanya was thee absolute best ,a perfect host ,very helpful aswell as her helper ,the place was easy to find and I must say the pictures don’t do it any justice it’s a beautiful place clean and the kitchen has everything we needed for our stay ,the pool kept the kids busy as it was so hot ,she even gave us an extra day 🌸I must say she was one of the kindest individuals that have ever hosted me ,I appreciate all she did for myself and my family ..

Wonderful place. Beautiful house, nice interior with a perfect location directly at the beach. We will definitely come back to this place in case we are back in Cape Town.

They are perfects hosts, flexible scheduling. A wonderful and well-maintained home. The house is fully equipped. Great for spending a few days with friends or family.

Great house for a family get together. Large patio with outdoor bbq/braai. Lovely pool. Lots of space to spread out.

We had an awesome time at Daniel’s place. The house is spacious and well apportioned and the location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and all the shops / restaurants in Sea Point. House is very well kitted out especially for kids with loads of toys and books to keep the little ones entertained. Ireen was also a god send - she kept the house spotless and also looked after our little one! We’ll definitely be back!

Superb place with a genuine ‘home’ feel to it. Lots of communal space inside and out and a gorgeous garden to enjoy. Tracy is a super host - responsive and shared loads of advice what to do locally. Hout Bay is a 10 min drive.

We had a wonderful stay at Axel’s place. Very private location, spacious AirBnB, well equipped with everything we could need and a great space for relaxing by the pool. Easy walk to the beach, where there is a range of restaurants and easy drive to nearby supermarkets. Check in was so easy and Theo (the property manager) was super responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. If you want a peaceful, private stay in Cape Town, I would recommend this place

This is my second time booking the home it was to be for my baby's gender reveal the 8th March unfortunately God had other plans and I had to bury my child 7th March Gadija was extremely accommodating and extremely sincere she let me have my family over the Friday and the Saturday for the day and assisting with decor drops and food drop offs she's a lovely person and a great host and I'm very appreciative of her for assisting in my time of grief when it was to be one of the happiest moments of my life 🌸
