About Us

Welcome to Metelerkamps, Knysna’s premier kitchen shop! Founded by John Metelerkamp in 2005 as a small gas appliance business, the store has undergone significant transformations under his guidance and vision.
 
The game-changer came when John brought on board his wife, Avril, whose impeccable taste for beautiful, designer, and branded goods catapulted the business into the destination shop it is today. John’s trust in Avril’s instincts has paid off, and the store now boasts an impressive range of household items.
 
But that’s not all – Metelerkamps also specializes in selling and installing closed combustion wood burners, a service that has become a cornerstone of the business. The team’s passion for this aspect of their work shines through in every installation.
 
Step into Metelerkamps’ stunning store in Knysna and discover a world of kitchen and home essentials that will elevate your space.
