Travellers' Choice
Set against the panoramic seascapes of the West Coast, Paternoster Manor nestles in Bek Bay, a picturesque cove within the stretch of coastline between Great Paternoster Point and Cape Columbine. It’s an exciting place for travellers. For over 80 years, countless mariners have been guided safely around the rocky outcrops of this coastline by the steadfast, sweeping lamps of the Columbine Lighthouse, the last manned tower built on the South African coast. Whether you choose to stay in one of our stately superior rooms, relax in our luxurious family suite, or bask in the warmth of our double room, you are assured of a refuge where opulent comfort is blended with care that is attentive yet unobtrusive. We've enhanced our connectivity and communication and guests can now enjoy full use of all the lights and the Wi-Fi throughout the guesthouse during frequent bouts of load-shedding.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

On arrival Eddie was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to help us by attending to a last-minute late check in. The room and building are spotless; very well presented with magnificent decor. We all had the best night's sleep with the lighthouse's foghorn sounding its therapeutic hum in the background. The breakfast was delicious and served in a peaceful and charming dining room. We were very well looked after during our stay and would recommend Paternoster Manor to everyone vising this magical town.

Very good service and lovely place to stay. Very high end and comfortable furnishings and high quality. Eddie was a fantastic host. Breakfast was more than expected and far too much to eat but a great choice. We had the room with a sea view. It's a shame we was not closer to the sea but the entrance to the beach is just over the road. Then beach is stunning and pure sand. We loved our stay and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay here again and have recommended to friends already. We are at The Noisy Oyster. It was perfect and the food and service was amazing. Not a place to be out in the evening. You need a car.

This is really a small boutique hotel rather than Guest House, perfectly located, great value, super breakfast, great beds and pillows, lovely lounge, but most of all the most congenial hosts you could hope for.
