The name “Kommetjie” is derived from the Afrikaans word “kom”, meaning “basin”, which aptly describes the town’s location around a small natural cove that resembles a basin. In the early days, Kommetjie was primarily a picnic and holiday destination, with families from nearby areas like Wynberg, Noordhoek and Fish Hoek camping among the milkwood trees for weeks during the Christmas season.
