This charming thatched guesthouse is situated 200m from the beach in the quaint West Coast fishing village of Paternoster, an easy 90 minute drive from Cape Town. Uninterrupted views of the ocean can be enjoyed from two of the intimate guest suites and from the superbly positioned dining area. The third suite is on the ground floor and does NOT have a view of the sea. Relax and unwind in the private spacious airy rooms and enjoy a leisurely scrumptious breakfast which includes but not limited to homemade bread, cakes and scones. Sit on your private balcony, sip some locally produced wine or beer and soak in the picture-perfect sunsets. We provide safe parking in our private cul-de-sac. Paternoster has become such a popular holiday preference not only for Capetonians but also for many international tourists. The combination of quirky artsy shops, amazing restaurants, white washed cottages and beautiful beaches make for an amazing little getaway! Time and time again I hear our guests arrive and say “ this place is absolutely stunning” and when they leave “if only I had one more day!” A few ideas to make your stay even better; • Go Kayaking and visit the local penguin colony • Try Horse riding on the beach • Visit our local artists in the Art Shed at the Harbor • Bring your binoculars and look out for whales, dolphins and seals • Visit the Cape Columbine Lighthouse – climb to the top, check out the view • Hike in the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve and see how many species of birds you can spot • Treat yourself to a luxurious spa day • Visit our local brewery and taste some amazing beers • Walk along the beautiful white beaches and try swimming if you’re brave! • Bring your kite – it’s often windy on the beach • Golf in Saldana Bay or St Helena Bay. Golf clubs can be hired if required. • For those with discerning tastes and a yearning for delicious seafood try our world acclaimed local restaurant – Wolfgat. Gilcrest Place is one of the best-rated locations in Paternoster! Couples particularly like the location — it is rated at 9.8 on trip advisor for a two-person trip.
