This was my first visit to Paternoster. It was a dellightful surprise - unspoilt and beautiful and closer to Cape Town than I thought. The guesthouse is situated at the furthest end of Paternoster, where you can walk right onto the beach, deserted except for a cavalry of American standard bred horses being taken through their paces in the shallow...

Friends recommended Ah! to us and we were pleasantly surprised that is was even more impressive than they said. The hosts make you feel welcome, the accommodation itself is excellent with great views over the ocean and the food is simply fabulous. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the reasons to visit Paternoster was Arnold and his Guesthouse. After a long walk at the beautiful beach, we were invited for a glass of wine by Arnold - a kind of "Starter" for the great evening we were going to spend there. Arnold and his wife prepared a mouth watering 5 course menu... Extremely delicious! So was... More

This was our fifth visit back to Ah! Guesthouse which should say it all. Arnold and Annalise is still there running arguably the best guesthouse in the country. Ah! has become our first choice destination to breakaway from the city and just relax carefree. Arnold and Annalise are amazing hosts that spends the right amount of time with their guests.... More

We visited a few short days after getting married and needed a place where we could relax in peace and quiet (and of course comfort) and boy did we get this plus more! This guesthouse is located just above the beach and 2 minutes along a paved driveway and your toes hit the sand. We stayed in the blue room... More

We enjoy good food, so planning our trip to Cape Town and surrounds we had to incorporate a stay at AH!....well frankly we had to experience the food! Make no mistake - it's stellar! Just wish Arnold would get on with writing and publishing a cookbook, and not because we wouldn't need to return - because we would! It's so... More

We returned once again to stay with Arnold and Annelise and were not disappointed. Once again - superb. New bedrooms have been added and if anything have improved the place. Lovely sitting out deck upstairs to enjoy the sun or the sunset. Food as usual excellent - both breakfasts and dinner. We stayed in the Orange room which has a... More

What a fantastic find! Whatever you do, don't miss the food! Both dinner and breakfast were incredible. Arnold is most definitely a world class cook, with such brilliant recipes and presentation. A lovely guest house, in a beautiful setting. Nothing was too much trouble, and such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Be warned - we will be back!

Clean rooms, good location and amazing food. Also, the hosts went above and beyond to make us comfortable and were pro-active to make our stay in Paternoster very enjoyable. Would definitely stay there again.
