Renowned for the quality of its crayfish, surfing and birdlife, Kommetjie is a quiet and rustic seaside village nestling between the Slangkop Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.

The beautiful Catholic Church on the hill is worth a visit and you could visit the tallest cast-iron lighthouse on the South African Coastline. Tours can be arranged. The climb to the top of the lighthouse is a steep one but the views are magnificent.

In Erica Road, you could visit Rene at the post office and catch up with your email at the Internet desk. There are several shops and eateries where you can relax, and you can even get your hair done, or have a massage at Dash-It.

There is an ABSA machine in the café if you need to get some cash to enjoy an evenings entertainment at one of several restaurants or grab takeways. Perhaps you would prefer to hire a video and just chill at home in your slippers!
