Oystercatcher Lodge  

On St. Helena Bay’s beachfront in the Shelley Point dunes, this intimate oceanfront lodge sits near Paternoster on South Africa’s West Coast. About 6 minutes by car from Shelley Point Country Club & Golf Course and roughly 15–19 km from Paternoster Beach and Cape Columbine Lighthouse, it’s a frontline spot for Atlantic views and Southern Right Whale watching.

A deluxe 4-star lodge with just six guest rooms, each facing the sea from a private balcony or veranda. Rooms come with refrigerators and private bathrooms with hair dryers and bathrobes; the lounge features a fireplace for chilly evenings and the property is tucked into the dunes for dramatic sunrises and sunsets. Staff speak English, German and French.

Outdoor pool, terrace and garden for lazy afternoons, plus a comfortable lounge area and a TV in a common space. Free on-site self-parking and sea-breeze mornings make it easy to unwind after a West Coast day of whale watching.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and free on-site parking; elevator access is available.

On-site restaurant and a relaxed bar/lounge; a complimentary full breakfast is served daily and you can enjoy local wines and sherry by the fireplace after a day exploring the coast.
