Glen Cottage

Glen Cottage has been aptly described as “one of the cutest little self-catering cottage in the Cape Peninsula”. It’s a delightful, immaculate Kommetjie cottage situated less than two minutes drive (or 5 minutes walk) from the wonderful Kommetjie Long Beach, a world famous surfing venue.

The 3-star (TGCSA) self-catering accommodation is simple and sweet, offering value for money.  Sleeping 6 guests altogether, the cottage features two bedrooms (one with bunk beds), two bathrooms, and two further single beds on the enclosed verandah.

The living area comprises of comfortable lounge and dining room open-plan to well equipped kitchen.  Facilities include washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, TV with DSTV and a radio/CD/tape player.

The small enclosed and private garden is charming and has a sparkling pool and optional safety net, shady gazebo with table and benches for outside dining, sun-loungers, sun umbrella, and built-in barbeque. There is also a remote-operated single garage.

We love this little cottage and everybody who has stayed here loves it, too. By day it’s a sheltered, restful haven in a beautiful and mellow setting, and at night the sea is sometimes so loud it’s as if you’re sleeping in the dunes.

Kommetjie is a magical place with all necessary facilities close at hand, just 40 mins from Cape Town and the Waterfront and 50 mins from Cape Town International Airport. You can watch the fishing boats come and go at Die Kom, take a walk to picturesque Slangkop lighthouse or visit the crayfish factory beyond. You can surf world famous waves, take endless wild beach walks and ride horses in the breakers.

And you can stock up with all you need at Kommetjie Superette before going kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, hiking, or just down to the beach. Serious shopping, at Long Beach Mall, is just 10 minutes down the road, including movies and internet café, whilst Clovelly Golf Club, Cape Point Nature Reserve, Constantia Wine Route and numerous characterful and delicious Kalk Bay and Simonstown restaurants are all about 20 mins away.
