Liked that there were all the appliances and kitchen necessities for making food and braaing. The dishwasher and dishwasher tablets supplied made cleaning up hassel free. It felt like home. Another plus was the close proximity to the beach.

The location was absolutely fantastic. Everything I needed was either in the house or a short walk to the shops. Whatever I couldn't find in Paternoster was a short drive to Vredenburg away. The equipment was classy, and we felt like living at...

Rustic charm meets contemporary beach house living at this three bedroom house / one bedroom cottage offering laidback West Coast living at its best. With its white washed walls and bright blue window frames and doors, just 50 metres from Voorstrand Beach, Pondok is the perfect place for a romantic or family weekend away. The house sleeps SIX in three en-suite bedrooms - spacious master bedroom with king bed, 2nd bedroom with queen bed, 3rd bedroom with two single beds or king bed upon request. The house features a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, two spacious lounges with indoor fireplaces, an enclosed garden/courtyard with braai facilities and deck with sea views - perfect for sunset drinks. The cottage sleeps TWO in bedroom with king bed, bathroom, fully equipped open-plan kitchen, lounge with jetmaster, dining area and enclosed courtyard with braai facilities. Both house and cottage have separate entrances and neither share any facilities. Cottage can be booked together with house in order to sleep eight. The maximum number of guests for the house is SIX and for the cottage TWO. Only guests booked allowed on the property.
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.
