Lovely, relaxing stay!

Some areas around the house need some attention, especially the entry door and the door in the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen utensil could also be added. Other a good stay and nice proximity to the beach.

Charming place with a vintage look.

Didn't like the smell of the place. Only half of the electric blanket was working, the other part didn't even go on. Had no water since Friday night up until Saturday morning. And not even one courtesy call from the office.

Lekker stil en rustig. Vuurmaakplek is 'n wenner.

Dit het meeste van die naweek gereën, maar ons het lekker gerus. Die vuur het heel naweek gebrand. Volle DStv-pakket is 'n bonus, die huis het alles wat nodig is. Dierevriendlik en gemaklik.

It rained most of the weekend, but we had a good rest. The fire burned all weekend. Full DStv package is a bonus, the house has everything needed. Pet friendly and comfortable.

Lekker gebly, was lekker om die see te hoor deur die aand!

Was ideaal geleë t.o.v. afstand van die see af. Perfekte plek om as basis te gebruik om Paternoster se restaurante, strande en stilte te beleef.

Dit is 'n baie mooi plekkie en dit was lekker om elektriese kombers op die bed te kry want die naweek was maar lekker koud.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Maar wel, dit is 'n selfsorgeenheid en die kombuis se toebehore laat veels te wense. Daar word vermis: braaibakke, braaitange, groenteskillertjie, 'n pot wat vir 4 mense kan kos maak (dit is 'n eenheid vir 4 gste) en skerp messe. Ek was so opgewonde oor die kaggel (juis die eenheid daarvoor bespreek, want dit was koud) maar as jy nie 'n massiewe vuur daarin maak nie, dan stoot al die rook in die huis in. Ons moes die deur oophou want ons het versmoor van die rook en dit was so koud. So ons was nie te beïndruk daarmee nie. Ek moet sê, die water was heerlik warm in die eenheid, geen klagte daar. Dankie.

It is a very nice place and it was nice to have an electric blanket on the bed because the weekend was really cold.

We had a great time. But hey, it's a self-catering unit and the kitchen's fittings leave a lot to be desired. Missing are: braai bowls, braai tongs, vegetable peeler, a pot that can cook for 4 people (it's a unit for 4 guests) and sharp knives. I was so excited about the fireplace (actually booked the unit for it because it was cold) but if you don't make a massive fire in it, then all the smoke pushes into the house. We had to keep the door open because we were suffocating from the smoke and it was so cold. So we weren't too impressed with that. I have to say, the water was deliciously hot in the unit, no complaints there. Thank you.

Baie lekker gekuier, sal wel 'n paar verbeteringe aanbeveel in die winter.

Huis was baie koud met sementvloere. Sal aanraai om miskien 'n gasverwarmer in te sit of 'n paneelverwarmer. Die onderste kamer het nie 'n elektriese kombers gehad nie dus was dit baie koud, miskien sou 'n vere-duvet 'n verskil maak. Daar was darem warmwatersakke vir die onderste kamer. Andersins het ons baie lekker gekuier, oulike plekkie.

Had a great time, would recommend some improvements in the winter though.

House was very cold with cement floors. Would advise maybe putting in a gas heater or a panel heater. The downstairs room didn't have an electric blanket so it was very cold, maybe a feather duvet would make a difference. At least there were hot water bags for the lower room. Otherwise we had a great time, cute little place.

We really enjoyed Milky Way and would definitely come back.

Not so happy with service from Stay in Paternoster. Not the most friendly or helpfull (also, this is the first establishment, ever, that we had to pay 100% before even arriving and seeing what we have - this should be addressed). Our unit was not serviced per the 7 day or more agreement, until we mentioned this to Stay in Paternoster. I have not received our R500 breakage fee yet. I have not followed up, but this should have been returned now (2 weeks since we checked out and nothing was broken!). A Little bit of maintenance required (Weber braai on its last legs), weeds to be removed, otherwise nothing major.

Baie aangenaam. Heerlike weer en die kothuis het aan ons verwagtinge voldoen.

Die kothuis is lekker naby die strand. Dit is skoon, luuks en netjies! Kan moontlik die Weber ruil vir 'n kleiner braai (dit isonprakties). 'n Sambreel en so paar stoele vir die stoep sal ook 'n pluspunt wees. Bed bo kort aandag. Baie dankie. Ons en woef het dit baie geniet!

Very pleasant. Great weather and the cottage lived up to our expectations.

The cottage is nice and close to the beach. It is clean, luxurious and tidy! Could possibly swap the Weber for a smaller braai (this is impractical). An umbrella and some chairs for the veranda would also be a plus. Bed upstairs needs attention. Thank you very much. We and woof really enjoyed it!

Just some maintenance notes.

Light switch upstairs needs repair. Rubber on upstairs door needs repair. Shower head rusted and leaking into wall. Mold upstairs on walls. There is no sea view, advert slightly misleading but still private and close enough to sea not to be an issue.

Goeie ligging baie naby die strand.

Milky Way is 'n pragtige huisie en 4 mense kan gemaklik daarin bly. Die dekor is pragtig en dis baie goed geleë aangesien dit stapafstand is vanaf die strand. Die enigste “negatiewe” kritiek is dat daar nie 'n oond of 'n wasmasjien is nie en dat die kombuiswasbak baie onprakties is. Dit is pragtig maar in hierdie geval het hulle nie gedink aan die praktiese aspek daarvan nie. Dis slegs een porseleinwasbak met 'n kraan wat óf reg bo-oor spuit óf baie stadig moet intap. Dit is dus moeilik om skottelgoed te was en af te spoel.

Good location very close to the beach.

Milky Way is a beautiful house and 4 people can stay comfortably in it. The decor is beautiful and it is very well located as it is walking distance from the beach. The only "negative" criticism is that there is no oven or washing machine and that the kitchen sink is very impractical. It's beautiful but in this case they didn't think about the practical aspect of it. It's just one porcelain sink with a faucet that either sprays right over the top or has to tap in very slowly. So it is difficult to wash and rinse dishes.

Fantastiese wegbreek, stukkie geluk van 'n plekkie. Dis naby die see geleë met jou eie voetpaadjie af strand toe, dit laat jou voel asof jy oorsee is in 'n droomdorpie soos Santorini met die wit huisies naby mekaar en skoon strand. Die DStv en WiFi is beslis 'n bonus gewees.

Heerlijk verblijf op het strand van Paternoster!

Milky Way is een heerlijk guesthouse in Paternoster, vrijwel op het strand. Het guesthouse is sfeervol ingericht, ruimtelijk (2 badkamers!) en goed geëquipeerd (wifi, satelliettv)in een schattig dorpje vol met witte huisjes. Bij slecht weer (mist/regen) heeft Paternoster niet heel veel te bieden.

Milky Way is a wonderful guesthouse in Paternoster, almost on the beach. The guesthouse is attractively furnished, spacious (2 bathrooms!) and well equipped (wifi, satellite TV) in a cute little town full of white houses. In bad weather (fog/rain) Paternoster does not have much to offer.
