This charming thatched guest house is situated 200m from the beach in the quaint West Coast village of Paternoster, an easy 90 minute drive from Cape Town. Uninterrupted views of the ocean can be enjoyed from two of the intimate guest suites and from the superbly positioned breakfast dining area. The third suite has a delightful garden view and is priced accordingly.
Gilcrest Place has one of the best rated locations in paternoster! Couples particularly like the location, they rated it 9.7 on Trip Advisor for a two person trip.
Some of the attractions are as follows;
The Cape Columbine Nature Reserve, with the only manually controlled lighthouse in SA and a desirable camping and fishing spot, Tieties Bay.
Whales and Dolphins can frequently be seen beyond the breakers from the breakfast room. Seals and Penguins are regular visitors to the large boulders along the coastline.
Prolific bird life makes this a bird watchers paradise. We even have a few beauties come to feed in our garden.
Wine tasting at many wineries in the area.
Beer tasting at the local brewery
The Art Shed at the Paternoster Harbour is filled to the brim with lovely oil paintings leather work, pottery and jewellery. Our village residents are very talented.
Fine local restaurants – are a foodies delight. Rock lobster is a local delicacy as well as bokkoms and our very own World acclaimed restaurant – Wolfgat. Many of their clientele stay at Gilcrest Place.
Sporting activities on offer include kite surfing, snorkelling, kayaking, horse riding and guided nature walks.
Namaqualand – see the barren landscape transform during spring (Aug/Sept) into a carpet of colourful flowers stretching as far as the eye can see.
Last must not least enjoy a leisurely walk on the many tranquil beaches and if you’re brave enough dip in the ocean on a hot summer’s day!
