Gilcrest Place Guest House  

On South Africa’s west coast in Paternoster, this seaside guest house and bed & breakfast sits a short walk from Paternoster Beach and the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a coastal base for beach days and lighthouse walks.

Three individually decorated guestrooms feature minibars, flat-screen TVs and pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets. Private bathrooms come with designer toiletries and hair dryers. Terrace and garden spaces invite simple sea-scented moments, and an elevator makes the property accessible.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a relaxed beach bar for sunset drinks. An arcade/game room, kids’ playrooms and barbecue grills keep the vibe playful. Practical perks include complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on-site parking, laundry services, private check-in/out and even on-call medical/wellness support — wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Eight meeting rooms are available for events, with express check-in/out and luggage storage. Complimentary wireless internet helps keep small meetings and remote work connected.

Stop by the on-site restaurant for meals and start the day with breakfast as part of the bed & breakfast offering. Finish evenings at the beach bar or gather around the barbecue grills for a casual, coastal meal.
