    Only instant coffee in the rooms . Although there was a Nespresso upstairs in the bar/lounge, I would expected to have one in the room at the price.

    The position was beautiful, perched on the dunes overlooking the beach. A special touch was the host booking restaurants for us prior to arrival as a courtesy. Breakfast was amazing.

    This gem of a hotel was so perfect for our 2 night stay on Paternoster. Perfect location. Direct access to the beach. Very comfortable king size bed and lovely soft linen. Breakfast was amazing!

    Our stay was delightful. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Our room was elegantly decorated with direct access to the beach, offering a magnificent view of the sea right from our doorstep. The shower and bath is not a private from the room area, just something to note if you are traveling with someone you are not that comfortable with. Breakfast was a highlight, beautifully prepared each morning, with Jurgens providing outstanding hospitality. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully presented. An unexpected treat was the afternoon coffee and tea—both delicious and considerate. Upon checking out, we were pleasantly surprised with a little 'padkos pakkie'. The service was truly excellent, making our stay wonderful.

    If I had to pick a fault then it would be the size of the pool but all the hotels in the area have similar size pools - so it’s not a dealbreaker. You also have the sea on your doorstep.

    Loved it all. Staff were so friendly. Views were amazing. The food was fantastic. Couldn’t fault it.

    We did not know upfront that this location also has a spa / beauty treatments available. We would have loved to know that upfront so that we could have booked.

    Perfect location, from our room on the ground floor we could walk right onto the beach. Lovely view, comfortable room, friendly staff, great breakfast.

    I didn’t like that I had only booked 2 nights,big mistake,we will return next year for at least 4 nights !!

    We just had the best of times.Our room Salt was beautiful with amazing facilities and the most stunning views and location.Breakfast was exceptional with high quality local ingredients presented to such a high standard.The host made restaurant reservations for us ahead of time which was invaluable as the restaurants are very busy.There is an amazing honesty bar with wines beers spirits mixers and so much more.

    It would be perfect if there was a water cooler (or similar) to fill up our water bottles but this is just a tiny suggestion.

    This is an excellent place to stay. The staff are kind and helpful and booked us tables for dinner each night. We had a room on the ground floor (Breeze) so you could walk straight out onto the beach - absolutely lovely! It is on the smaller beach in Paternoster, which we really liked. We loved Paternoster, would have been great to stay longer.

    I would have liked to see a non-diary milk option at the coffee/tea station.

    Being right on the beach was both stunning and tranquil. The room was spacious and luxurious, high end finishes throughout. The dining area with self serve bar and coffee and cake was perfect, looking over the beach for sunset from there was one of my favourite things! All the staff were lovely, the coffee was delicious, breakfast was divine!

    A choice of breakfast options would be nice.

    Beautiful guesthouse on the beach, with incredible sea views from the breakfast room & honesty bar area. The upstairs area is lovely to sit & sip on something, read a book & watch the waves. The accommodation had pre booked our dinners, which is a lovely gesture. However, no one told us beforehand. So we had already made reservations.
