Ideally situated on the beach two minutes South of the picturesque fishing village of Paternoster with uninterrupted views over the unique rock formations of the Columbine Nature Reserve's coastline and the Cape Columbine Lighthouse. The stylish interior; a combination of old world elegance and modern necessities; in all 4 rooms offers splendid sea views from all corners. The communal living area opens onto a large verandah and unheated plunge pool - the perfect setting to enjoy magnificent sunsets. The lounge has a large fireplace to sit around in Winter, sip wine and enjoy the sound of the wild stormy sea.

Welcome to Oystercatchers' Haven. I relocated to Paternoster 3 weeks before our country went into lockdown and have loved living in this small Westcoast village from the beginning. My passions include cooking, floral arrangements and my two cats. I enjoy meeting new people and it brings me much pleasure to ensure our guests have a relaxing and resting time while staying with us. Our team of hard-working ladies are dedicated to providing spotlessly clean accommodation and delicious breakfasts. We truly hope that you will have a wonderful stay with us.

Only 2 hours from Cape Town International, the quaint fishing village of Paternoster has various activities on offer. From long, romantic walks on the beach, kayaking among penguins, meander around the village and browse the art galleries and shops and delicious meals from award winning restaurants makes Paternoster the ideal romantic getaway.
