What travellers are saying
- Rick WSevenoaks, UK2,133 contributionsPaternoster beach is a large broad curve of sand and it is beautiful. But the water (in February) was SO COLD! I don't mind cold water swimming but even I could not stay in for more than a few minutes. It must have been about 7 degrees Celsius! Don't let that stop you jogging, strolling and enjoying the beach. But think twice before you take a plunge!Written 18 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rick WSevenoaks, UK2,133 contributionsI took a 90 minute bike tour of the park with WOW-E bikes from Paternoster. It was a fun experience riding bikes that took all the hard work out of cycling and I had two excellent guides who pointed out many features of this deserted and quite barren area. We saw a whale carcass on the rocks too...a bit sad.Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kalkan WhiteKalkan, Türkiye7,472 contributionsThis is a beautiful & quiet beach in Paternoster, which unusually has no building development. Great for a long walk, as it goes on for miles.Written 13 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Pamela JBedfordview, South Africa11 contributionsWe explored the village one our hotel bikes and stopped at the Church for a quick visit. Managed to coincide with Sunday Service which was the cherry on top. Loved the church and atmosphere - arrived a little late and no seats available so be sure to get their early if you want a full service.Written 24 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wwil2016Cape Town, South Africa144 contributionsIf I could, I would go there every day, just for the special feeling I left the shop with. Calm, serene zone filled with beautiful treasures. The staff treats visitors with respect and kindness. Love it.Written 4 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- david oCape Town Central, South Africa338 contributionsThis lovely shopping area is now home to a really nice coffee shop with lovely snacks. The view is amazing and the service was very good. Excellent place for coffee and a bite if you are at the waterfront.Written 9 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bonnie v293 contributionsCute shop but totally over priced. Found similar decorations in st. Helena Bay for half the price. Definitely aimed at overseas touristsWritten 10 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Leane BCape Town, South Africa173 contributionsI love the nostalgia as well as some really interesting original pieces of art/jewellery. I found a stained glass window obviously from an old window....and took it home. Great priced items.Written 29 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kerstin NMunich, Germany258 contributionsThe restaurant at Paternoster Hotel is centrally located at the main road of Paternoster. So if you don't mind hustle and bustle and cars driving past, you might feel comfortable on the veranda.
The food was ok - nothing fancy but the hake and calamari were tasty.
Service is average, the tables could have been wiped as they were not the cleanest. It's ok for a quick lunch stop but don't expect excellent cuisine.Written 10 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Inside we were super surprised by their quality and variety.
Highlight was the Deluxe coffee sold inside the shop, at a very reasonable price. We went back the next day for more coffee.Written 31 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
