I was so pleased and honored to be the first AirBnb guest at Rich & Laura's house (Surfsong - many of the houses in the area have been given specific names). Just one row back from Long Beach in Kommetjie, the house has the advantage of being elevated slightly above beach level, and therefore enjoys spectacular 180°+ views from Kommetjie town, down Long Beach to Noordhoek and all the way to Haut Bay and Table Mountain. I chose the place on the basis of the views, and it really is spectacular, in the most very peaceful, tranquil and beautiful way.

The house itself is very well appointed, certainly above average for a rental property, and it reflects the fact that it was their family home for many years. Beautiful furniture, custom built-in kitchen, all appliances, great design throughout, and even a swimming pool on the deck!

The house was perfectly prepared when I arrived, with coffee, tea, milk, and various other sundries as well as wifi, towels and security/alarm. I wish that I could have stayed longer; as it was I had three days here and absolutely fell in love with the place. If you are coming to the Cape Town area and are interested in pure nature, surf, hiking, cycling, horse riding, visiting the Cape, and also in good food and coffee, you cannot go wrong staying here!
