Very Cosy place to stay in paternoster. Just a stone throw away from the beach. Restaurants within walking distance. Very comfortable beds with electric blankets. we went in winter off season, so during the nights it gets a little chilly. Unfortunately we only did stay for one night. We would have liked to stay longer.

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.

Gonana Guesthouse was the perfect place to stay for 3 nights; comfortable, private & stylish, it was a haven to base ourselves and from which to explore the area. The staff prepared wonderful breakfasts for us and were always friendly and attentive. We hope to be back soon.

Had a wonderful overnight with the best service possible. Sunset was to die for. Reservation for supper made by our most capable great hostess. Breakfast was. Scrumptious, all round great stay.

• The Apartment

The studio is beautifully decorated, spacious and spotlessly clean - just across the road from Bek Baai beach. We enjoyed our stay.

• Scallop Studio

We had a great stay here with the Ganana family. Epic spot, great attention to detail. Beautiful right on the beach. Amazing breakfast. Loved every moment there, what a treat :)
