    We had the most amazing stay at the House of Braganza. Henobi is the sweetest host, we enjoyed every minute spent at her house. The beach is just a minute away, and the town of Kommetjie is so charming that you wanna stay there forever.

The House of Braganza offers a home away from home. Parking is available on the property, behind a security gate. Our guests have their own private entrance. We offer a small selection of cold beverages, included in the quote. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and home baked rusks are always available. On request we serve a Full English/Continental Breakfast, a small lunch as well as a cooked supper can be ordered, should you wish to relax at home. You can order a picnic basket from me to enjoy on the beach or take with you on exploring our Valley and surrounding areas. Guests can cater for themselves as well and we have a private outside braai area. The interior of the guest unit is warm, homely and comfortable. Beautiful views all around. Relax in a spa bath after a day out or enjoy a shower with a sea view. We've got two bicycles to explore Kommetjie, while exercising. Our wi fi was improved recently. We've got a small library with a nice selection of books. Kommetjie is a surfers paradise all year around, the surfing beach a quick run from our house. We've got an outside shower with hot/cold water. Our winter season also very beautiful. We look forward to accommodate you!
I always try to be at home to welcome guests on arrival. Although not everyone orders breakfast, I love serving it as it gives me the opportunity to connect with guests. Through our guests, I feel as if I've travelled the whole world. I am passionate about South Africa and happily share my knowledge. If I am unsure of anything, I do research with much joy. It makes me excited if guests can experience our beautiful country and its rich culture. I spend many happy hours planning our family holidays in South Africa. As a family we spend quite a bit of time exploring Cape Town, The Peninsula and the Wine Lands through doing day trips. I am willing to show guests around and to introduce them to our favourite spots. I've got an amazing group of friends and one way for us to connect is walking the different routes in our Valley and enjoying a steaming cup of coffee after. Another enjoyment of mine is cooking and baking for family and friends and spending quality time around a dining room table. I am excited for life and what it offers and tend to always rather focus on the positive. I look forward to offer warm South African hospitality to my guests, which always leaves me energised.
We've got a warm and very friendly neighbourhood. Kommetjie hosts a few nice restaurants a quick 15 minutes walk from The House of Braganza. The restaurants are Fisherman s, The Lighthouse, Espresso, Kommetjie Pizzeria, the Green Room and Good Riddance, a coffee shop. For self catering purposes we've got Kommetjie Superette, Kommetjie Primary School Neighbourhoodmarket and Just Foods Deli and Wine Shop. Far Out Kites in Kommetjie is the home of Custom made kites, windsocks and aerial sculptures. Kommetjie Surf Shop offers lessons as well as board and wet suit rentals. Guided Tours are offered at the Slangkop Lighthouse on weekdays from 10 am to 3 pm. Please do not miss walking our beautiful beach. 5 minutes travel per car from The House of Braganza is Imhoff Farm a farmstead offering animal encounters, horseback beachrides, shops and restaurants, paintball as well as laser tag. There is a few options of scenic drives and hikes from and around Kommetjie, coastal travel towards Scharborough and Cape Point, Noordhoek and Chapman s Peak, Ou Kaaps Mountain Pass towards Silvermine, Fish Hoek to Kalk Bay or Glen Cairn to Simonstown. I've got a guest file with more detailed information.
