Gonana Guest House

Set on an idyllic West Coast beach you’ll find Paternoster’s first sustainable guesthouse overlooking a setting of unbroken sunsets, dreamy corners and flourishing nature. This is a place where warm-hearted people, unspoiled white sandy beaches and enchanting restaurants welcome you to a beach holiday just two hours from Cape Town.

Each of the8 rooms at Gonana Guesthouse promotes a sense of calm with décor inspired by the natural surroundings of sea, sky and sand giving a decidedly Scandi-African feel. The art pieces in the guesthouse are made locally from recycled materials and the chairs from handmade Malawian cane.

High ceilings, skylights and huge sash windows let in light and views of the ocean, the mountain or the pool. Seven of the eight rooms have their own private terrace or balcony, for quiet evenings with a glass of wine.
