Our stay at Storyhouse

The location of Storyhouse was fantastic, a short walk away from a beautiful beach. It was also near my auntie who we were visiting. We enjoyed the outdoor space overlooking the pool.Antoinette and Charl were wonderful hosts. It felt like home away from home. Thank you.

Kommetjie braai haven

Nice cottage overlooking the street. It was great to braai on the balcony. Loved our walks on the beach which was only 2 blocks away. Conveniently located so we could visit Robben Island and Hout Bay.

A singular experience

The unit is an idiosyncratic space, comprised of a bedroom, bathroom and glass/timber conservatory/kitchen area. It feels very much "home made" by the hosts, who were most welcoming and kind. Our unit's balcony was a great space to relax, while we could have made more use of the garden and pool at street level.

A beautiful view from the comfort of the bed. We felt like staying there all day, but too much to see in the area.

The hosts are warm and caring people. They made us feel welcome with special attention to detail. A beautiful view from the comfort of the bed. We felt like staying there all day, but too much to see in the area.

Lovely spot to stay when visiting friends / family in Kommetjie.

The hosts Antoinette and Charl are wonderful people and made us feel entirely at home. We had a great stay and will gladly book the property again next time we come to Kommetjie.

Overall we had a wonderful time.

Memorable stay in Kommetjie

Storyhouse was in a great location with a beautiful view. The apartment was the perfect size for my fiancé and I. We loved the big windows that allowed us to see the gorgeous view and bird life that was attracted by the flowers in bloom. The complimentary coffee and rusks were absolutely delicious! Thank you for a memorable stay 🤗🌸

Storehouse will forever have a special place in our hearts thanks to Charl & Antoinette!

Lovely hosts who were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I proposed to my girlfriend while visiting Kommetjie and Antoinette & Charl helped me to arrange it with a picnic basket. It was amazing! I'd definitely recommend Storehouse to anyone wanting to visit the Cape Peninsula.

Peaceful stay with the kindest hosts!

We loved our stay at Storyhouse. The room and the whole outdoor areas are decorated very cutely and we felt right at home. The hosts (Antoinette and Charl) are very kind and helpful with all our questions and check-in and -out processes. The house is just a few minutes from a beautiful beach as well as a few cute cafes and restaurants.
