Barefoot-luxury on the Atlantic edge of Paternoster: white-washed, design-forward spaces that open to dunes, fynbos and a sweep of beach where fishing boats still pull in the day’s catch. 16 rooms & suites blur indoors and outdoors with handmade stone baths, outdoor showers and warm, earthy textures. Days drift from bicycle explorations and coastal hikes to long lunches and sunset horse rides, then slow into firelit evenings at Leeto and treatments in the Elements Wellness Suite.

Our Favorite Rooms

Ocean King Suite for the fullest Atlantic sweep and contemporary finishes. Expect a generous lounge flowing to a private sea-facing terrace, a deep stone bath and indoor–outdoor showering that makes sunrise and stargazing part of your routine. Value play: Courtyard Lux gives a fireplace and private outdoor shower without losing the hotel’s refined, natural palette.

Dining

All meals served at Leeto Restaurant: organic-inspired, West Coast produce with refined, contemporary execution; leisurely breakfasts, light/healthy lunches and plated dinners by Chef Garth Almazan with ocean-line views.

Packing Tips

Wind-proof layer year-round, warm knit for cool evenings, light rain shell, beachwear, walking shoes for coastal paths, and a camera strap for salty breezes.

Insider Tips

Book a coastal horseback ride for sunset, ask for a beach picnic on calmer days, and slot a couples’ Kalahari treatment in the Elements Wellness Suite late afternoon before dinner at Leeto (chef Garth Almazan). Bicycles are on hand for an easy loop through the village.
