Abalone House

Boutique
West and Northern Cape, South Africa

Abalone House is a boutique guesthouse situated in picturesque Paternoster on the west coast; set in the tranquil south side of the village, this property is merely 200 metres from stretches of white sand beaches, with direct access.

Bright, airy guest rooms are set around a beautiful courtyard, with garden or sea views, most with a private patio or balcony. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, family holiday or solo adventure, Abalone House has whatever you need.

Why we like Abalone House

Abalone House’s restaurant is fantastic and focuses on local ingredients and West Coast specialties. Arrange for a picnic to take down to the beach and spend the day relaxing to the sound of the waves lapping against white sand beaches. Venture into Paternoster and dine at a local restaurant, many of which are renowned for their high quality cuisine, namely seafood.
