If you are looking for an amazing get-away with your partner, or even if you want to go with friends or family, then when you go to Paternoster, this should be the place to stay! Myself and my girlfriend stayed at the Seaside Cottage Unit 2 and we didn't want to leave! It is walking distance to everything and there... More

We stayed at Pasella for a long weekend. Its such a beautiful house and is adjoining Abalone house which hosts the guests of all the seaside cottages. The rooms are large and well appointed and there are three full bathrooms. Up to 8 people can stay there between the bedrooms and comfy couches. There's sufficient tea and coffee for a... More

A weekend, which we had been looking forward to, was completely ruined by the disappointment we experienced on arrival at Kliphuisie, our s/c cottage. First impressions are always the best, but there was nothing about this cottage which made me feel I wanted to stay for an hour, let alone for 2 nights ( we only managed to suffer it... More

Dear Guest. Thank you for your post. We value your feedback and take your comments seriously. The Kliphuisie experience may not be to everybody’s liking as this is a very unique unit that is part of our portfolio, and offers guests a traditional Paternoster experience, with the unit being situated in the heart of this fisherman’s village. During your stay,... More

We stayed at Seaside Cottage A in November 2012, for a long weekend. I was a bit apprehensive about staying there, as there were not many photos posted of the inside, and I can be a bit picky!! When we arrived I was TOTALLY blown away by this gorgeous little beach cottage, with spectacular views, a very well appointed kitchen... More

My husband and I were at Seaside Cottage 2 over the weekend and it's really quite a nice place, however there are several things that management could have worked on to make it even better: * They asked us to phone them when we go to Vredenburg so they could know when we were coming. When we phoned twice no... More

We had a similar experience as Sammy who was robbed. This time it was at another cottage owned by ABALONE HOUSE, Oppiedraai We arrived during a power failure - no electricity, no alarm. We were greeted, and immediately asked to sign an indemnity form, from which the ABALONE HOUSE had no responsibility for any loss due to theft, break-in's etc.... More

Dear Howard, thank you for your feedback. Allow us the opportunity to answer your above mentioned comments. The power failure upon your arrival was due to severe weather conditions that affected the whole of Paternoster, which was out of our control. Most of the West Coast was without power for two consecutive days. Our accommodatin staff purchased not only a... More

We stayed at Seaside cottages at the end of February 2012, It was a great experience, the view was good and the unit was very nicely kitted out. Keathlen and Lindsey really went out of their way to make us feel at home and comfortable.

We were originally very concerned about staying at this property given the review that was done back in May last year. Having liaised with the owners through a villa-booking agency, we were comfortable with the measures taken, and can happily report that the Seaside Cottages was a fantastic villa to stay in. Although not directly on the beach, the elevated... More
