We were disappointed as the property (klein gelukkie) was cold and a little damp. Living off grid plus load shedding has its drawbacks ultimately. We were there in early October so perhaps a little early in season mind you. The main area of the property seems better maintained than this actual apartment where the outdoor space was not really useable for us. Also we had hoped that we could walk to town or the beach from the apartment but we did not feel safe in this area to do so. This is probably an SA problem in general as well as in some parts of Paternoster. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming and the property is generally peaceful despite some dog barking at times during our stay. We cut short our stay for reasons given and found very nice place on the beach for same price.…

Although not on the beach this turned out to be the perfect location. Quiet, peaceful and away from the cool evening breezes but 2 minutes from everything in Paternoster. Our cottage was absolutely stunning. The interior decor and the layout is wonderful. The outside is not forgotten and has outdoor furniture and an amazing swinging daybed which was such wonderful place to relax and snooze! The indoor fireplace was perfect for the cool evenings and the outside braai area was well placed along with comfortable outdoor cane chairs. Our hosts were wonderful. Very friendly and knowledgeable but also gave us our privacy. A wonderful find! We will most certainly be back.

One of the most aesthetically pleasing places we've ever seen. Styled to perfection with incredible spaciousness and the best braai nook! Also enjoyed the fact that it is on a farm just 2mins drive from town so you get the best of both worlds. Loved every last detail.

The rustic-chic look belies the tangible luxury and hand chosen quality. This all in a spacious and pristine environment. With owls in the trees, guinea-fowl scratching beneath the bushes and even a turtle or two ambling about, one is treated with the views the only the rough and hard West Coast can bring. Outside, the fenced in garden protects from the sniping winds and one can lay the day away on the sun bed, have a fire roaring in the fire pit, sear some Namakwa lamb on the built in braai, or even just warm up with a glass of wine in front of the spacious indoor fire place. This is the peace for the soul that anyone can appreciate. Gelukkie is nestled just a stone throw outside town which makes it a quieter place during holiday season. The Paternoster Brewery, for delectable food and craft beer, is just up the road, and the Express Shop, for groceries, wood and fuel is just around the corner. All in all, this is a gem of a place and going through the visitors book will tell you that it is a very special haven to all who visit. Go visit, you might even find out that the town of Paternoster is close by...…
