    Always a pleasure to return to Mosselbank. Glen is a great host and contactable if any issues. Solar power ensures a loadshedding free experience which is such a bonus. Always love to sit on the Balcony which is very well sheltered from the wind...

Rustic charm meets contemporary beach house living at this one bedroomed apartment offering laidback West Coast living at its best. With its white washed walls and bright blue window frames and doors, just 15 metres from Voorstrand Beach, Mosselbank Beach Retreat is the perfect place for a romantic weekend away. The apartment sleeps two in a spacious master bedroom with queen-size bed and en-suite. Camp cot and high chair available on request for baby. The apartment features a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, spacious lounge with jetmaster and a balcony with sun tanning, braai facilities and awesome sea views - perfect for sunset drinks. The maximum number of guests for the apartment is TWO (baby in camp cot stays for free). Only guests booked allowed on the property - no exceptions unless with prior written permission. The endless stretch of pristine white sandy beach is a mere hop, skip and jump from the apartment.
An endless coastline of white-sand beaches, rows of white-washed fishing cottages, a daily flotilla of weather worn fishing boats lugging hauls of fresh seafood, dolphin and whale watching, bird watcher's paradise, a nature reserve with fynbos and succulents and campsite on water's edge, notable heritage sites including the country's only manually controlled lighthouse at Cape Columbine and an ever expanding array of restaurants featuring the 2019 World Best Restaurant - Wolfgat - it is no wonder that Paternoster is a sought after tourist destination. Less than two hours drive from Cape Town, Paternoster is surrounded by fields of wheat in winter and glorious carpets of wildflowers in late winter and spring. Paternoster is a relaxing destination for snorkelers, divers, kite surfers, hikers, bikers and kayakers, and foodies are spoilt for choice - the little town boasts excellent restaurants, some right on the beach. Endless stretches of white sand, azure waters, mysterious sunrises with the mist swirling in from the ocean, vivid sunsets together with the many excellent eating establishments in the area makes it a getaway that will linger in the memory forever.
