“Pleasant romantic get-away. Breakfast was good with genuine coffee. Parking safe. Pleasant peaceful surroundings. Nice and private.” – Russell Booking.com.
“My husband and I took our massive dog along for an impromptu mini break to Kommetjie. What a relaxed town with the great Long Beach for endless walks. We found the Jack & Jasper on AirBnB as a last minute booking. The owner, Linette was instant in her responses, very hands-on at the B&B and also served a great hearty breakfast. She was kind enough to set up our breakfast on the patio next to the pool rather than in the breakfast room as we didn’t want our dog bothering other guests at their tables. The pool is sparkling, there is ample shade, sunbeds and great mountain views from some rooms. It’s a quiet area and spitting distance to the beach. You can walk to nearby pet friendly restaurants with decent food at reasonable prices.” – TripAdvisor.
