Shawu in Rooi Els is more than just a place to stay. It’s a cosy, welcoming retreat designed to make you feel at home from the moment you step through the door. This unique six-sleeper is perfect for nature lovers who enjoy wandering through the fynbos, exploring quiet gravel lanes and watching colour-streaked sunsets from the comfort of the living room. On a clear day, the views stretch from the back of Table Mountain all the way to Cape Point. Every room is thoughtfully appointed, combining comfort with understated elegance. As evening falls, settle in beside the cosy indoor fireplace or enjoy a meal around the indoor gas grill. The house features electric fencing and additional security at windows and doors, helping guests coexist more peacefully with the local Chacma baboon troop while respecting their natural habitat.
And to complete the experience? A wood-fired hot tub with beautiful sea views – the perfect place to unwind beneath the open sky.

With two carports on site, there’s also ample parking for your convenience. Solar panels and invertor makes sure you are not left in the dark with loadshedding or electricity interruptions.

Shawu is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and feel at home in one of the Overberg’s most beautiful coastal settings.
