Relaxed, beautiful.

The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location is stunning, and the private dune spot is unforgettable. The outside area was also very nice but did need some cleaning up. We had a wonderful time.

Uitstekende Weskus-ervaring in 'n asemrowende, mooi ligging.

Pragtige huisie by die see, wat mens sommer onmiddelik laat ontspan en voel asof mens op vakansie is. Styvol gemeubileer met unieke elemente wat die dekor regtig spesiaal maak. Beskerm deur die sandduine van die seebriesie is die braaiboma ook ideaal geleë vir braai of net sit en kuier.

Excellent West Coast experience in a stunning, beautiful location.

Beautiful house by the sea, which makes you immediately relax and feel as if you are on holiday. Stylishly furnished with unique elements that make the decor really special. Protected by the sand dunes from the sea breeze, the braai boma is also ideally located for braai or just sitting and visiting.

Heerlik gekuier. Die stofie was 'n wenner toe dit begin reën en het die leefarea baie lekker warm gemaak.

Uitstekende akkommodasie, die omgewing is die beste in Yzerfontein en hulle het uit hul pad gegaan om ons te help met inligting oor die omgewing.

Die huis is pragtig, op die strand en goed toegerus. Die pad aan die agterkant met die wonderlikste voëllewe was 'n bonus.

Excellent accommodation, the area is the best in Yzerfontein and they went out of their way to help us with information about the area.

The house is beautiful, on the beach and well equipped. The road at the back with the most amazing bird life was a bonus.

Not your run-of-the-mill place. Quaint, secluded, historic, and with beautiful views, yet protected from the winter winds.

Plainly & beautifully decorated and with everything you'll need, even for a winter breakaway. Friendly & helpful owner & caretaker. Fantastic spot between the sea & the salt lake. Loved the lookout deck & the cosy braai area. Also close to lots of things to do. We'll be back!

Knus en lekker.

Ons het vir 2 dae hier tuis gegaan. Die huis was pragtig skoon en is goed toegerus met als wat jy nodig het. Jy stap net tot op die duin om by die see te wees. Ons het dit baie geniet!

Very peaceful - truly a place to go and recharge. Very cute house and good location

The unique location makes Rooisee a nice getaway-recharge-and-rest place, but it is a bit on the expensive side. If it was more economical I would like to hang out there every other month.

Huis lekker, pad baie sleg.

Huis baie lekker met kaggel. Die pad is baie sleg, skud jou voertuig uitmekaar. Was koud en gasverwarmer gas was klaar. Gasverwarmer verstelling het ook nie gewerk nie. Baie mooi uitsig vanaf die duin agter huis.

House nice, road very bad.

Very nice house with fireplace. The road is very bad, shake your vehicle apart. Was cold and gas heater gas was finished. Gas heater adjustment also did not work. Very nice view from the dune behind the house.

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Die pad na die huisie vanaf die hoofpad is 2 km dubbel wydte munisipale grondpad - een van vele mooi grond strate in yzerfontein dorp. Soms sinkplaat oppervlak - Hierdie aspek is gewoonlik in beter onderhou in somer maande.
Nog geen sekuriteits insidente gehad in laaste 5 jaar.

Lovely.

Rooisee is a comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-equipped cottage. It is well-situated in that it feels separate from Yzerfontein proper, but in reality is only a 5-10 minute walk on the beautiful 16 Mile Beach to the nearest coffee shop. The look-out deck is a highlight, with stunning panoramic views of the pristine coastline. Highly recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a thorough review of our Rooisee cottage. We are delighted to have guests who are able to let the spot charm its way into your stay. Hope to see you back soon.

Asemrowend!

Dit was 'n rustige week by die Rooisee naby aan Yzerfontein maar tog weg van alles. Ons kleuters het die trappe en selfs die koue see geniet. Ons sal beslis weer teruggaan!

It was a peaceful week at Rooisee, close to Yzerfontein but still far enough away from everything. Our toddlers enjoyed the steps and even the cold ocean. We will definitely go again!

Die huisie was alles waarvoor dit geadverteer is en selfs mooier! Amelia en gesin was baie gasvry. Niemand in ons groep het enige negatiewe kommentaar nie. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike vakansie!

10 days of mindless peace, nature and family time.

Rooisee is an absolute haven of peace and tranquility, ideal for bird/nature lovers. We absolutely loved our stay. The house felt like home and the safe surroundings offered endless freedom to our kids. We pray that the sea will spare the dune and that Rooisee will remain.

Fantastic!

Rooisee in Yzerfontein is a small jewel of a place. It is secure and private with amazing views and little treasures to enjoy. The home was to say the least - a home away from home, fully equipped, comfortable, cosy, warm and beautiful! The Rooisee team assisted as from a few days prior to our arrival to right up to our departure, and they are so friendly. We are planning our next visit back already!
