Storyhouse and Kommetjie stole our hearts. What a wonderful holiday! Storyhouse is beautiful, neat and clean. It's perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood walking distance from the sea. Antoinette and Charl are very hospitable and happy to help where they can. We will miss our morning coffee on the veranda in the picture-perfect garden. We will definitely go again!

Storyhouse en Kommetjie het ons harte gesteel. Wat 'n heerlike vakansie! Storyhouse is pragtig, netjies en skoon. Dis perfek geleë in 'n rustige woonbuurt stap afstand van die see. Antoinette en Charl is baie gasvry en help graag waar hulle kan. Ons gaan ons oggendkoffie op die stoepie in die prentjiemooi tuin baie mis. Ons gaan vir seker weer!

Not up to my standard. Very well received and owners very hospitable. Meals can be recommended. Misfortune doesn't make it up for service. My room was not serviced. The bed was not made and the towels were not hung out to dry. Clearly not wiped or vacuumed. Access to the room is impractical with stairs, very narrow and steep. Will not work for people with a problem. Access to the stairs is through the kitchen and pantry. No television in the room.

Nie aan my standaard voldoen nie. Baie goed ontvang en eienaars baie gasvry. Etes kan aanbeveel word. Ongelukking maak dit nie op vir diens nie. My kamer is nie gediens nie. Die bed is nie opgemaak nie en die handdoeke nie uitgehang om droog te word nie. Duidelik nie uitgevee of gestofsuig nie. Toegang na die kamer is onprakties met trappe, baie nou en steil. Sal nie werk vir mense met 'n probleem nie. Toegang tot die trappe is deur die kombuis en spens. Geen televisie in die kamer nie.

Dear Rene, Thank you very much for your comment. We are grateful that you feel positive about our meals and hospitality. However, we are a bit caught off guard by the rest of your comments regarding the stairs, pantry, TV, towels and cleanliness. Are we really only worth a 2 out of 5, or 40%? When you asked on arrival if you could view the room first, we were under the impression that you were satisfied because you accepted the room. I made the double bed myself with a spotlessly ironed duvet set, and the en-suite bathroom, bar fridge and tea and coffee tray were cleaned perfectly by ourselves so we don't understand the 1 out of 5 rating. Regarding vacuuming: Before your arrival, my husband and I vacuumed the room ourselves and washed the floors with a fragrant solution. Unfortunately we did not repeat this after your first night's sleep and I apologize for that. Regarding the stairs: There is a photo on the web that shows the stairs, but it is on our agenda to make the stairs less steep. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about the width of the stairs, but thank you for your comment as it may help other guests with their choice. As for the "pantry": We maintain a cozy open-plan policy where guests can see how we cook, and the French open shelving section usually elicits positive comments. Regarding the TV: We do not advertise any TV to match our peaceful seaside atmosphere. However, most guests use our free Wi-Fi for media entertainment. To respect your privacy, I left two sets of towels in your room for the possible 2 nights you would stay. As for the making of the bed, the confusion may be due to the fact that you doubted whether you would stay the second night. However, usually we ask if guests want room service, which unfortunately I omitted this time - sorry about that.

Beste Rene, Baie dankie vir jou kommentaar. Ons is dankbaar dat jy positief voel oor ons etes en gasvryheid. Tog is ons effe onkant gevang deur die res van jou kommentaar rakende die trappe, spens, TV, handdoeke en netheid. Is ons regtig net 'n 2 uit 5, oftewel 40% werd? Toe jy met aankoms vra of jy eers die kamer kan beskou, was ons onder die indruk dat jy tevrede was omdat jy die kamer aanvaar het. Ekself het die dubbelbed opgemaak met 'n silwerskoon gestrykte duvetstel, en die en-suite badkamer, kroegyskas en tee- en koffie skinkbord was perfek deur onsself skoongemaak dus verstaan ons nie die 1 uit 5 gradering nie. Wat stofsuig aanbetref: My man en ek het voor jou aankoms self die kamer gestofsuig en die vloere met 'n welriekende middel gewas. Ons het dit ongelukkig nie na jou eerste nag se slaap herhaal nie en ek vra om verskoning daarvoor. Wat die trappe aanbetref: Daar is 'n foto op die web wat die trap aantoon, maar dit is op ons agenda om die trap minder steil te maak. Ongelukkig kan ons niks aan die wydte van die trap doen nie, maar dankie vir jou kommentaar want dit kan ander gaste help met hul keuse. Wat die "spens" aanbetref: Ons handhaaf 'n gesellige oopplan beleid waar gaste kan sien hoe ons kosmaak, en die Franse ooprak gedeelte wek gewoonlik positiewe kommentaar. Wat die TV aanbetref: Ons adverteer geen TV nie om te pas by ons rustige see-atmosfeer. Die meeste gaste gebruik egter ons gratis WiFi vir media-vermaak. Om jou privaatheid te respekteer, het ek twee stelle handdoeke in jou kamer gelaat vir die moontlik 2 aande wat jy sou oorbly. Wat die bed se opmaak aanbetref, is die verwarring dalk toe te skryf aan die feit dat jy getwyfel het of jy die tweede aand gaan oorbly. Nietemin, gewoonlik vra ons of gaste kamerdiens wil hê, wat ek ongelukkig hierdie keer nagelaat het - jammer daaroor.

Fantastic holiday experience. Charl and Antoinette did an outstanding job with this gem called "Storyhouse", we had an absolutely wonderful time staying in the "Gysbertus" apartment. It was very neat and clean with stunning view out of the huge wooden framed windows over Chapman's Peak, and the lights of Houtbay at night is just magnetic. It is close to the beach and truly a very friendly neighborhood. But it was all the little things that Charl and Antoinette did extra that really made this holiday/experience stand out as the "complete package" for us (worth every Star). Needless to say we fell in love with "Storyhouse" and Kommetjie. A big thanks again, we'll be back.

Fantastiese vakansie-ervaring. Charl en Antoinette het goeie werk gedien met die juweel "Storyhouse", ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad in die "Gysbertus" woonstel. Dit was baie netjies an skoon met pragtige uitsigte vanuit die groot houtraam-vensters oor Chapman's Peak, en die ligte van Houtbaai in de aand is net asemrowend. Dit is naby die strand en regtig 'n baie vriendelike buurt. Maar dit was al ie klein dingetjies wat Charl en Antoinette gedoen het wat die vakansie/ervaring as die "complete package" laat uitstaan het (verdien elke ster). Onnodig om te sê: ons het verlief geraak op "Storyhouse" en Kommetjie. Nog 'n groot danke, en ons sal weer kom kuier.

Restful. My husband and I had a wonderful time at Storyhouse. We had a wonderful welcome by Charl and Antoinette. Chocolate on our pillow as a welcome. Strawberries, yogurt and juice in the fridge when we got there. We went for a walk on the beach and although there were dogs on the beach, they were all so friendly that I didn't even need to be scared, (when I was younger I was attacked by a dog). We had our own kitchen and a separate entrance and it was great. I would definitely recommend it.

Rustig. Ek en my eggenoot het 'n wonderlike tyd deurgebring by Storyhouse. Ons het 'n wonderlike verwelkoming gehad deur Charl en Antoinette. Sjokolade op ons kussing as 'n verwelkoming. Aarbeie, jogurt en sap in die yskas toe ons daar aankom. Ons het op die strand gaan loop en alhoewel daar honde op die strand was, was hulle almal so vriendelik dat ek nie eers hoef bang te gewees het nie, (toe ek jonger was, is ek deur 'n hond aangeval). Ons het ons eie kombuis gehad en 'n aparte ingang en dit was wonderlik. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

For the summer months it is perfect. There is a lovely braai outside with a large veranda where the children can play. In winter it may get cramped with children. The owners are very nice and helpful. The area is very safe. It's walking distance from the sea.

Vir die somermaande is dit perfek. Daar is 'n lieflike braai buite met 'n groot stoep waar die kinders kan speel. In die winter mag dit dalk beknop raak met kinders. Die eienaars is baie gaaf en behulpsaam. Die area is baie veilig. Dis stapafstand van die see.
