Cape Town Accommodation

Cape Town Accommodation With A Difference


Cape Town accommodation has been a favourite amongst holiday-goers for ages; and if one considers all the wonderful things this city and its surroundings has to offer, it is definitely no wonder. One of the biggest attractions of the region is without a doubt the ocean. There is just something about the sea that feels like vacation.

 

While many of the Cape Town accommodation options take advantage of this fact and offer great beach locations, many of these are heavily over-priced and extremely crowded during the holidays. And they all tend to feel the same – once you have visited the one, you've visited them all. So how about doing things differently for a change and choosing Cape Town accommodation that will provide you with a memorable getaway?

 

Paternoster is a quaint town found along the West Coast, approximately 150 kilometres from Cape Town. This fisherman's village has managed to escape the soulless commercial development that has stolen the charm from so many other previously undiscovered destinations in South Africa. Cape Town accommodation in this town north of Cape Town can be found in a number of friendly guest houses and self-catering units, such as the spacious and comfortable Limestone House. Here you can book the house, the apartment, or even both if you are a larger group. Everything you need for self-catering is provided, while the house is situated less than 50 metres from Paternoster's most beautiful beach.

 

In addition to bathing in the sun on the beach, this region is popular amongst those who enjoy kite-surfing, kayaking and fishing. Those who would rather prefer an adventure on land, you can explore the landscape on horseback. Adjacent to the little village is the Columbine Nature Reserve, and a few minutes' drive you will get to the West Coast Fossil Park where you can see a large collection of rare fossils.

 

Paternoster might be a quiet, idyllic fisherman's village, but it clearly has no shortage of wonder and adventure. Contact us at the Limestone House to find out more about the area, activities and how to book your unique Cape Town accommodation. You're in for a getaway to remember!
