PATERNOSTER’S FIRST ECO-CONSCIOUS COLLECTION

Set on an idyllic West Coast beach you’ll find Paternoster’s first sustainable Guesthouse and self-catering properties overlooking a setting of unbroken sunsets, dreamy corners and flourishing nature. This is a place where warm-hearted people, unspoiled white sandy beaches and enchanting restaurants welcome you to a beach holiday just two hours from Cape Town.

  • Fabulous stay, definitely worth a good few days, within metres of the beach.

    Private, beautifully restored and tastefully furnished. Everything you could need for a good few days stay, definitely worth more than a stopover. Scrupulously clean.
