Description

Gonana Collection comprises a guesthouse and 6 self-catering properties, all set on the quieter side of Paternoster, known as Bekbay. The Collection is the first ever sustainable Guesthouse and self-catering properties in Paternoster with all 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.

Gonana Guesthouse is located directly on the beachfront boasting unrestricted views of the ocean, Columbine Nature Reserve’s coastline and Cape Columbine Lighthouse. The property has a solar-heated saltwater pool and every morning guests enjoy local organic produce served around a communal breakfast table with views over the Atlantic.

Each of the eight Guesthouse rooms promote 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 are made locally from recycled materials and the chairs from handmade Malawian cane. The heart of the guesthouse is upstairs in the enormous lounge overlooking the sea.

These units are furnished with comfortable extra-long orthopaedic beds, an en-suite bathroom with a shower and toilet and Barrydale Handweaver towels. Regrettably, the guesthouse cannot accommodate children below the ages of 12. However, all of the self-catering properties are child- and pet-friendly.

The self-catering properties are located between 50- to 100-metres from Bekbay beach and they are styled and designed in a similar fashion to the Guesthouse. They are serviced daily and come complete with everything one would need for a comfortable stay.

Standard amenities include: extra-length orthopaedic beds, en-suite showers (baths are standard at Coral Villa), tea and coffee making facilities, fridges, stoves, microwaves, day beds to accommodate a plus one or childcovered private braai / BBQ facilities, enclosed gardens, WiFi and some units have fireplaces.

Gonana Collection's self-catering properties comprise:
1. Acacia House (2-bedroom semi-detached property)
2. Aloe House (1-bedroom semi-detached property)
3. Coral Villa (3-bedroomed renovated and restored fisherman's cottage)
4. Gonana Studios (Oyster, Scallop and Mussel Studio each 1-bed units located behind Coral Villa with a separate entrance).
