The Neighborhood:
Kommetjie, a charming coastal village in Cape Town's South Peninsula, is known for its relaxed beach vibe and stunning natural beauty. With its iconic long beach and scenic mountain views, it's a favorite for surfers, nature lovers, and anyone looking to unwind. Dining options range from laid-back to eclectic, with local favorites like The Green Room, and Fisherman's Kommetjie, a casual spot with outdoor seating that's popular for fish and chips and pub-style meals.
Getting Around:
We would suggest getting a rental car for your stay!
Other Things to Note:
Public space: the rocks in front of the property on the ocean edge is public land so expect some passer by's. There is also a walk thoroughfare on the left side of the house through the tree's often used by surfers.
Pets: although the property is pet friendly, the back garden is not enclosed. Pet's will be able to run onto the rocks so it's important that accompanying pets are well trained in recall. Please bring own pet beds - MAX 2 small - medium dogs. NO pets allowed on the furniture and NO wet pets allowed inside the house. Please do not use out bath or beach towel to dry the animals. Please bring a towel for your dog. Pets must be on a lead when you leave the property. Please do not leave pets unattended on the property.
Sandhoppers: At certain times of the year, usually in late winter and spring, all the properties along the beach front in Kommetjie are frequented by sand hoppers. They are little creatures that feed on the kelp washed up on the beach, keeping the beach clean. As such, they are an important part of the ecology. They are completely harmless, but can be something that surprises you if you are not aware. Should it get out of hand, please communicate with Laurette.
Kelp flies: as with the hoppers, the small black kelp flies are also part of the eco-system that is living on the ocean edge. They usually come up around sunset on warmer days. Please keep the bedroom windows and the sliding door closed. We are in the process of getting a fly screen up so you can at least have the fresh ocean breeze on hot summer days without the flies.

Wi-fi: there is wifi in the common area's and we have tried to boost the internet down on the lower bedroom levels however the design of the house does prohibit the signal. This would be a great time to disconnect and get into that book you have been meaning to read or reconnect with loved ones.
Interaction with Guests:
I am available to guests during their stay via phone or Airbnb. I do live about 20 minutes away in case of emergencies.
