Glen Cottage has been aptly described “the cutest little self-catering cottage in the Cape Peninsula – EVER!” – and with some justification. It’s a really delightful, fully renovated and immaculate fisherman-style, self-catering cottage, sleeping 6, less than a minutes’ drive from wild and wonderful Kommetjie Longbeach, a world famous surfing venue, and also close to a small river that you can walk down to get there.
Three star accommodation comprises comfortable sitting and dining room areas open-plan to a well equipped, fully fitted kitchen; two double bedrooms (one with bunks), two bathrooms, and two further single beds behind private timber and wrought-iron screens on the enclosed verandah. The cottage sleeps six, but the kitchen caters for eight. 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 with safety net if required, 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. Beach chairs and an umbrella are provided for those lazy, hazy, sunshine, surf-side sessions.
Everybody who has stayed here loves this little cottage. 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 lies just 10 minutes from Cape Point Nature Reserve, 45 minutes south of Cape Town and the Waterfront and 60 mins from Cape Town International Airport. Local activities include the beach, surfing and boarding, kayaking, scuba diving, bird watching, deep-sea fishing, hiking, whale watching, and scrumptious seafood sampling. Picturesque Clovelly and Steenberg golf courses, the Constantia Wine Route and numerous characterful and delicious Kalk Bay and Simonstown restaurants are all under 20 mins away. Table Mountain, World of Birds, Kirstenbosch Gardens and the Waterfront are just a little further.
