The stay at Gonana was perfect. The breakfast, the people, the room…. everything!! The ocean is just a few steps away that you could have a swim or do sport. We really recommend this place. We will come back. You can really relax at this place

We spent two nights at Gonana Guesthouse with our three teenagers. The location is lovely right on the beach. Very calm and cozy atmosphere and beautiful interior. The breakfast view is stunning and the village Paternoster very genuine. We got help to book a horse riding trip with the kids that was greatly appreciated. We love to come back SOON!

What a beautiful location on the beach, we enjoyed the sunrise and in the evening sunset with drinks on the balcony.
Every detail in the rooms was so thoughtfully decorated — it felt cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. The warm ambiance made it easy to relax and unwind. We loved spending time by the pool, and the scrumptious breakfasts each morning — such a treat! We felt absolutely spoilt from start to finish.

Private, beautifully restored and tastefully furnished. Everything you could need for a good few days stay, definitely worth more than a stopover. Scrupulously clean. The site manager was brilliant, arranged dinner for us to be taken back to the cottage, and ensured every detail was perfect otherwise. Best nights sleep I had in ages!

• Oyster Studio

We were blown away by the stunning location and beautifully decorated interior. The amazing breakfast was the perfect cherry on top. Our stay was truly unforgettable - highly recommend!

Our stay at Gonana Collection Villas was nothing short of exceptional. The accommodation was stunning—beautifully styled with a refined yet relaxed coastal charm. Every space felt thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean, and wonderfully spacious, offering both comfort and luxury.
We felt completely at ease throughout our stay, with the peaceful surroundings and secure setting adding to the overall sense of tranquility.
Gonana is the perfect blend of sophistication and serenity, and we left feeling refreshed and inspired. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly special experience in Paternoster!

• Coral Villa

This was my second visit to Gonana Guesthouse, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. I will definitely be coming back!

Paternoster, and especially this guest house, has become one of my favorite places to unwind and slow down. Whether it’s horseback riding on the beach, taking a guided tour to learn more about the unique local fauna, or spotting seals and even whales – there’s always something special to experience here.

If you get the chance, don’t hesitate to go! And if it’s available, ask for Room 3 – it has a beautiful sea view and its own little private patio.

Highly recommended – five stars all the way!

We spent the most wonderful weekend at the Coral Villa. From the very warm welcome form all the staff, to the beautiful views from our home for the weekend, we couldn't have asked for more. The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need. With the beach only a 2 minute walk from the unit , you can literally hear the ocean as you fall asleep at night. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend away for my family. The Coral Villa is 100% pet friendly sp my 2 little dogs got to experience the weekend away with us.
