Picturesque fishing village of Paternoster
The sleepy fishing village of Paternoster is north of Cape Town, about a two-hour drive away. The white beaches are beautiful, as are the striking, white fishermen's houses. A picturesque setting, where brightly colored boats provide cheerful color accents. Not much happens in the small village, which is precisely Paternoster's charm. It invites you to relax, read, swim, stroll along the beach and enjoy fresh lobster or a fish dish accompanied by a cool white wine. With the sounds of the waves lapping, the salty smell of the sea, dreaming away looking at the horizon. Where the world can't find you...
Elegant, contemporary and decadent
Abalone Boutique Hotel & Spa blends perfectly into these surroundings. The white rooms, suites and villas are organic, with small variations and always with great attention to guests' privacy. The interiors are elegant, contemporary and decadent. Some rooms and all suites and villas have balconies, verandas or roof terraces that overlook the ocean and village, because that is the core of what Paternoster is all about. The sea looks attractive, but beware: the water is cold due to the cold gulf stream coming from the Arctic. That's why most suites and all villas have private pools or plunge pools, and they're even heated by solar energy. The hotel also has communal pools, sauna and jacuzzi. Then all the ingredients for a wonderful vacation by the sea are present. Feel the sun on your skin and relax....
