We stayed at the Romantic, Rustic, Cottage in Kommetjie at the start of the year with our two small children and loved it. The cottage is as shown on the photos. In fact, it is better! It is clean, modern, homely and larger than it looks on the photos. Heidi and Philip have decorated it beautifully and there are lots of homely touches such as tea, coffee, rusks, candles, fresh fruit and flowers.
The cottage has a large deck and garden with a big tree in the centre that always provides shade. It is located close to an village centre where there is an art gallery, coffee shop, a small but well stocked supermarket and a pizzeria that makes delicious pizzas. We opted to have take-away pizzas so that we could have more time enjoying the garden of the cottage.
The cottage is close to the beach, so close that we could walk there with our children (2 and 4 years old) and we loved being able to do so every day, even if it was only for a short while after dinner, because we had been out on daytrips during the day.
Heidi and Philip were very prompt in their replies when I made my first enquiry and got in touch again closer to our arrival date. They offered us the use of a baby cot and always kept us informed of what was happening, even letting us know on the morning of our departure that we could leave later if we wished as the next guests, had just been in touch to postpone. Unfortunately, we had a long way to travel and could not take them up on this offer.
I highly recommend staying at the cottage.
