Kommetjie is fully exposed coastal, with a mix of permanent homes and holiday properties that stand closed for long periods.
Supplier distance is the other practical factor. Full detail sits under Kitchen Renovations Cape Town.

Get a Kommetjie Kitchen QuoteCoastal Air and Hardware
Salt-laden air corrodes cabinet hardware. Hinges stiffen and drawer runners seize years earlier than they would inland, and exposure here is direct and constant, with no sheltering ridge between the houses and the sea.
Ask for hardware to be specified by name. Marine-grade or nickel-plated hinges and runners cost more per door and are the upgrade most worth paying for this close to the sea. Standard zinc-plated hardware here is a warranty argument waiting to happen.
Supplier Distance and Delivery
The far South Peninsula is a long run from most Cape Town suppliers. A stone countertop needs two trips out: one to template once the cupboards are installed, and one to install the cut slab. Some companies absorb that and some itemise it.
Ask whether travel and delivery are inside the quoted figure. It is a common reason a local quote and a Cape Town quote look further apart than they are.

These are indicative market ranges, not a quotation. They are compiled from published South African kitchen pricing to give you a starting point for budgeting. They are not the rate card of any company on this platform.
Expect a travel line on most quotes here, and expect it twice if you are specifying stone. Asking for it up front is better than assuming it is included and finding it added at invoice stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Kommetjie?
Most Kommetjie kitchens land between R45,000 and R150,000 depending on size and finish, with large kitchens running from R150,000 upward.
The table above breaks that down by kitchen size and lists the local factors that move it.
Is coastal air really a problem for kitchen cupboards?
For hardware, yes. Salt air stiffens hinges and seizes drawer runners years earlier than inland, particularly where windows are left open.
Marine-grade or nickel-plated hardware costs R150 to R400 more per door and is the upgrade most worth paying for near the sea.
Will I pay extra for delivery from Cape Town?
Often, and it is worth asking directly. Most stone yards and cabinetry workshops are in Cape Town, and a stone countertop needs two trips out.
Some companies build it into the rate and some itemise it, which is a common reason two quotes look further apart than they are.
Can I keep my existing cupboards?
Often. If the carcasses are square, dry and firmly fixed, new doors or a respray changes the whole kitchen for about a third of a full replacement.
Swollen board under the sink is the usual sign they have reached the end.
How do I get quotes for a kitchen in Kommetjie?
