Painting Tips for Kommetjie and Noordhoek
By Fish Hoek Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
Kommetjie and Noordhoek are two of the most dramatically beautiful communities on the Cape Peninsula - both facing the open Atlantic with wide beaches and a more informal, nature-oriented lifestyle than the urban False Bay villages. Painting homes in these areas requires understanding their specific exposure and the relaxed but high-quality aesthetic their owners prefer.
Kommetjie's Ocean Exposure
Kommetjie faces the open ocean directly - the Long Beach swell that makes it a legendary surf spot also means consistent onshore wind and salt spray. Properties near the beach face Atlantic-level salt air exposure and need coastal-grade exterior paint systems. Annual inspection and maintenance of metalwork is particularly important. See our guide to salt air and coastal painting.
Noordhoek's Valley Setting
Noordhoek sits in a broad valley behind the mountain range, which provides some shelter from direct ocean spray but creates its own humidity conditions. The large smallholdings and country homes that characterise Noordhoek often have extensive timber features - decks, pergolas, stables - that require regular wood staining and maintenance in the damp valley microclimate.
