The house is very spacious, beautifully set up and in an amazing location right on the beach. It had everything one could want and more. The views of the beach and ocean from upstairs are priceless. Unfortunately, from the downstairs level the ocean can’t be seen due to the dunes in front of the house. So, unfortunately, the meals at the dining table downstairs cannot be accompanied with an ocean view. For a surfer it’s paradise as one of the best waves in the country is literally in front of the house. But even if you don’t surf it’s awesome watching those guys get on their boards from morning to evening. The beach is not for swimming as the water is very cold. It’s also not a beach for lounging as there are many dogs being walked all day long, which can be a bit tricky if you want to enjoy a beach holiday with small children. We enjoyed the beautiful view mostly from the terrace. The house has a very nice pool which is also suitable for children as half of it is not very deep. Our daughter enjoyed it a lot despite the fact that it was quite cold at times. As we stayed at Potters place (Pam’s other house) before our daughter was used to having a solar heated pool ;-) At times there was a strange smell of moldy water around the house which we are not sure where it came from. It might have been some old ocean water which collected itself somewhere. We felt very safe at the house. There is only a small fence but due to the alarm system and the very responsive security company we felt at no point at danger. However, the alarm did go off at night a couple of times (which is very loud and a bit frightening). This happened once due to a dog which had come into the garden and twice for no apparent reason. Those incidents were a bit of a concern for some of the family members as we were not sure what was going on. But all in all we felt very comfortable at the house. This was also due to our fantastic hosts Pam and Wayne who took super good care of us. If there was anything we needed it was there for us in an instant. They were very responsive to all our inquiries, of which i can assure you there were many ;-) For a family holiday the host is just as important as the house, it’s surroundings and amenities. So if you are looking to have a holiday were you can be completely at ease we would highly recommend Pam and her two places. From Kommetje it’s a hop, skip and a jump to get to Simonstown and Boulders beach. Even the Cape is not that far. However, to get around you do need a car and to go to town will take you at least an hour. So...
