    Red Box is a serious gem, the space is amazing could accommodate all 8 of us comfortably. The location of the villa is perfect, 150m from the beach. The place was very safe and secure. The hosts were very hospitable and good housekeeping service.

The house consists of six en-suite bedrooms. There is a fully-equipped kitchen, a 12-seater dining table, downstairs lounge and entertainment areas. In addition, there is an upstairs TV lounge. Guests love the indoor braai (barbecue) and pizza oven. There are fireplaces to keep you warm in winter. Exclusive-use pool overlooking the vlei with deck area for sunbathing and stunning views, plus outdoor showers for rinsing off the beach sand. Comes serviced, with secure parking and free WiFi. The property consists of two separate houses that are joined. The owners live on the one side and, available for lets, is the other side called Red Box. This is the house you are viewing. For a video of the house, please g--gle 'Red Box on Vimeo Kim'. The beautiful and extensive stretch of Robberg beach is a couple of minutes walk away, and Robberg itself is a 30 minute walk away. There are uninterrupted views over the vlei (grassy wetland). Neighbouring house only at the back of the property. The whole of the Red Box House is for guests exclusive use. Shared parking area with Vlei House. No Smoking indoors.
