Welcome to Paternoster

Paternoster is situated about 145 kilometers north of Cape Town on the R27... 15 km from Vredenburg.

This picturesque little fishing village is one of the oldest towns on the South African West Coast with a very strong fisherman architecture.

Spoil yourself and stroll along this 8 km stretch of unspoiled white sandy beach and feel, see and smell the gem of the ocean and quaint white cottages offering a tranquil haven for visitors from all over the world.

Paternoster is a crayfish (lobster) paradise with Local Fishermen selling them next to the road during season. One of the most enjoyable Local Customs is KREEF BRAAI which means Crayfish Barbeque and entails lots of fine white wine, crayfish fresh from the sea and an open fire.

Fresh fish straight from the sea is also a great delicacy and is enjoyed by one and all, specially if it is done on an open fire with a glass crisp white wine from one of the local cellars and the company of good friends. There is nothing in the world to beat this Gemutlickheid. So come on over and join us soon.
