Good Day to you, I really did not want to write this but after getting a sms today that the rate for April is R495pp per night i felt i needed to. My husband and i stayed at Abalone House from the 24th Dec to 26th leaving on the morning of the 27th. We paid over R11000 for a stay... More

After a holiday of a few disappointments with regards to accommodation, it was truely a welcome experience and such a relief to finally hang our hats at an establishment that was worth every penny paid. We hadn't made any prior bookings and were welcomed so warmly when we enquired about a room for two for a couple of days. And... More

This past weekend I took my girlfriend on a surprise trip to paternoster on the west coast. Abalone house, runs the self-catering seaside cottages, where we stayed. We stayed for one night only which was a huge mistake, not because of the level of the accommodation but because we should have stayed for longer. To say that this place is... More

As a treat we spent one night in Abalone. The decor in this Guest house is very interesting The room we stayed in was quite small with possibly too much furniture (room 11 , I believe). who needs 2 armchairs in the middle of the room when there is not a flat surface to place a suitcase? The restaurant was... More

This is a gem among a number of other establishments offering accomodation in Paternoster. It is furnished in a quirky but tasteful fashion. Undoubtedly the rooms on the upper floor are lighter etc but if one has a ground floor room, one can always go up to the ample sundeck on the open sundeck of the floor above - sea... More

The restaurant had absolutely fantastic food: the staff was willing to accommodate our varying culinary requests to ensure a great experience. This newly... More

On the 30th of November 2012 we arrived being welcomed by some of the most pleasant people we have ever met. A private romantically set up dinner was arranged in our suite were we got engaged. Days before we ate at 2 five star restuarants in the Cape Winelands area but nothing could compare to the food of Abalone house... More

Very nice hotel, decoration special, sometimes too much but it gos all very well together. Very personally. Rooms are in good taste, we missed the view. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They should be better trained in service at the table. Also check your tabel linen, it is old with wholes. We got an excellent dinner at the restaurant.... More

We arrived to be greeted by a rat! Secondly our rooms were dark in keeping with a closet. I could not see to even put make up on. High tea was stale bought in cakes. The chef had walked out so the food was terrible. All and all a overpriced terrible place. Do not recommend , Paternoster has far more... More
