Paternoster Reviews

What People are Saying

I really enjoyed our trip to Paternoster. There are loads of restaurants to choose from and there's a lot of accommodation available, mostly in the form of self catering cottages straddling the beach, and what a beach it is.

Stefani (Cape Town)

Coming to Paternoster we were somewhat anxious but SO glad we did. It is Paradise. Great restaurants. Great accommodation. Easy connections by car. Spectacular scenery.

Graham (Windsor, UK)

Ive been to Paternoster a number of times and each visit is just as good as the last. I love the wide expanse of beach, the colourful fishing boats racing back with the catch of the day, the wonderfully laid back locals,
