The space
Dreaming up a coastal escape but not sure where to start? I’m here to answer any questions you might have so please do feel free to reach out via message.

Step straight from your door onto Kommetjie’s iconic Long Beach: a world-famous surf spot and one of the most breathtaking stretches of coastline in Cape Town (especially at sunset!). This spacious, light-filled pet-friendly home has been thoughtfully prepared for families, friends, and ocean lovers who want a beach house but without the fuss and without compromising on homely comforts.

Four bedrooms offer plenty of space for everyone:
- Primary bedroom: Queen bed with uninterrupted ocean views and ensuite bathroom
- Second bedroom: King bed away from the main living areas
- Third bedroom: Two singles and a bunk bed - a space for kids to make their own.
- Fourth bedroom: bunk beds and En-suite, perfect for teens wanting their own corner.

All the bathrooms have undergone extensive renovations. We now have 4 bathrooms:
- ensuite to primary bedroom with shower and toilet
- a bathroom with shower and bath
- another separate toilet / shower bathroom
- ensuite to the room with the bunk bed with shower & toilet

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge are designed for laid-back living, with an indoor fireplace for cooler nights. Large sliding doors lead to the patio where you can enjoy a braai while watching the waves roll in. The kitchen is fully equipped with a washing machine and dishwasher and the garage has space for surfboards so your gear stays secure and ready for the next session.

Whether it’s morning beach walks with the dogs, teaching the kids to surf, or simply enjoying the salty breeze from the patio, this is a place to slow down and savour life by the ocean.

Room Access:
To keep things cozy and cost-effective, we’ll only open the number of bedrooms needed based on your group size. If you're booking for two, you'll have access to one main bedroom; additional rooms will be unlocked as your group size increases (up to 10 guests in total). We will contact you to confirm room usage.

Admin is boring so we are sorry about this but to remain compliant, we do require that guests complete a pre-checkin which includes uploading your Identity document / passport, verify with a selfie and sign our terms and conditions. This information is stored in compliance with POPIA and is done through Truvi. They will contact you separately. Thank you for your understanding.

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.

External Cameras: due to the remoteness of the property and the open access to the beach, we have had to put up external cameras linked to our alarm system. We had some people think it fine to come onto the property and use our water and resources. These cameras are external and there is one that is at the back of the property facing the terrace / beach due to the open access. We do not spend our free time spying on guests so your privacy is respected. We only monitor in the event of trespassers.

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. There are throws for the couches (although they are not encouraged to be on our furniture please) and spare towels available for your pets however please do bring along their beds, toys, bowls etc.

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. You will notice their arrival allowing you to keep doors and windows closed for a little.

I have no words for this place. It’s hands down the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The view is absolutely breathtaking! I’d live here for the rest of my life is I could! Thank you so much!
