Rooi Else is located beside the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve and is home to wildlife including chacma baboons,rock hyrax, clawless otters, small antelope and Verreaux’s eagles.

Rooi Els neighbours other stunning beach residencies like Pringle Bay, Betty's Bay and Kleinmond. Although the town has narrow roads and no street lights, its beauty is truly unmatched as you stroll down to the shore, soaking up the sun and sea breeze.
