Our stay was a warm, welcoming escape by the sea—full of comfort, charm, and heartfelt hospitality

10.0

Tucked just a few steps from Bekbaai beach in Paternoster, with sweeping views of Tietiesbaai, this place feels like a coastal haven. A lovely natural garden greets you right at your doorstep, setting the tone for a stay that blends comfort with charm. Inside, the bed is wonderfully comfortable, dressed in quality linen and mohair blankets, with an electric blanket ready for those chilly West Coast evenings. The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, and the breakfast is nothing short of exceptional. The living area is beautifully decorated, with a fireplace that invites you to linger. Unlimited coffee and tea, an honesty pub, tasty snacks, good reads, and a cosy dining space all add to the homely ambience. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease—warm, inviting, and full of character.

I loved every bit of this beautiful place!

The location is beautiful, friendly staff, delicious breakfast.

We were only there for 1 night but a double/ queen bed would have been preferable to 2 single beds
