    Absolutely nothing

    This was our third visit to Strandloper as it is such a lovely hotel in a stunning location. I booked too late and could only get an ‘internal’ room with no view but it had a lovely outdoor area with a plunge pool including a waterfall and a table and comfortable chairs, it was also very private so I loved it. The outdoor swimming pool was just across from our room and had nice loungers and sun shades. The restaurant is really exceptional and has a lovely ambiance, I would have stayed at least a week but they were fully booked, so make sure you book early if you want to stay in this lovely hotel.

    Nothing to disapprove of.

    In desperate need to make our wedding anniversary special and wanting to visit the west Coast of South Africa agin after many years, I decided to book a couple of nice at this very good Boutique hotel. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I made in a while. This place was very well placed and the restaurant and rooms very stylishly decorated. We were also greeted with some MCC and flowers in the room because I mentioned that it was a special occasion. The food was absolutely amazing! Breakfast was very well served with lots of fresh options and another bottle of MCC on our first mornings' breakfast. For dinner I had hake the first evening and the seafood linguini the last evening.....both extremely tasty and can recommend to all. My wige had the Chalmar steak and she could not stop smiling. The staff was probably the best part of the stay. They were all very friendly and attentive to our needs, from managers to bartender to waitresses. Well done Strandloper. We will be back.

    There is no clear information in the room on what is complimentary and what is charged as minibar And in fact there is no price list for the minibar and goodies.

    I loved the location and the beachfront bungalow The service is excellent I loved the fire in the room at night, the hot water bottle in the bed, the milk in the fridge. Plus the restaurant is outstanding (both for breakfast and for dinner)

    The only issues we found were that the WiFi was very weak and the restaurant menu was the same at lunch and dinner so became a bit “samey”.

    Absolutely fabulous location— amazing views, bikes for rent that you can cycle endlessly on the hard-packed beach, excellent restaurant with brilliant staff. Our oceanview suite was also a good size and had ample outdoor space.

    We loved the room and It didn't matter that we had no sea view. Breakfast was a delight each day with great food overlooking the ocean. We also had dinner on the first night and it was excellent and reasonably priced. Lastly, all of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Its definitely on the list of place to go back to.

    For above reasons

    Very comfortable room . Eaten for my birthday for last 4 years at lunchtime excellent views ,this time decided to stay at hotel same table but no view as no outside lighting. We were finishing our dessert and lights turned off in restaurant, music also and tables cleared around us it was only 21:30. Not romantic at night better at lunchtime. This is not 5 * but still a nice hotel and my favourite restaurant for view and ambience at lunchtime but the evening meal spoiled my birthday meal . There was definitely no recognition of my special occasion.

    Pool was a bit characterless, but we didn’t use it. Shame about the incessant wind, but that’s the location, not the property.

    This place is a little haven in a remote small town. The staff were a delight from start to finish. We had the best room in the house for the first two nights (king ocean suite, room 1, top floor) and it was fantastic. Amazing views, great design, exceptionally comfortable. We moved to the worst room in the house ( courtyard room, no view) for our final night but it had the same level of comfort and was very private. The food was delicious, every meal was exceptional. We stayed over Christmas and there were lots of nice touches to make it extra special. It’s not cheap, but we’d just got engaged and was so worth it. Not sure I’d return to paternoster, but if I did, I’d stay here.
