44 guests' feedbackWe had a wonderful stay. The hosts are lovely and we enjoyed the amazing breakfast and views!
Spectacular setting being on the quieter side of Paternoster. Sitting out on the terrace for dinner and breakfast was a real special highlight.
Clean, tidy, great location.
A beautiful guesthouse, easy to find, and well-located. Very friendly and helpful staff, they are truly amazing. Beautiful views, stunning breakfast.
Great service and friendly staff. The location is perfect and breakfast was delicious!
Beautiful beach and very comfortable accommodation. The location is absolutely stunning.
Beautiful house in a prime position overlooking the pristine beach. Our room was ground floor with a beach view, which was ideal for watching the stunning sunset. All very pleasant. I'd recommend this B&B.
Highly recommended.
We loved our stay! Beautifully decorated and such a warm, inviting atmosphere created by the staff. Highly recommend.
Was very nice and comfortable.
See stars.
I would recommend a mini fridge. The rooms are a bit small for the price.
Geyser wasn't working so we downgraded to another room with no sea view. The room above us had wooden floors and the guests kept pacing the room meaning we only got to sleep at 3am. Wasn't the best stay.
Perfect service and great hospitality from Thandi and her team, we couldn't have asked for a better stay and we even saw whales!
Much more beautiful than photos. Sea view and wonderful people who welcome you and make sure everything goes smoothly. Breakfast was top notch. Will definitely go there again.
Expected Gonana Guesthouse to be fantastic, but it was much more. We were a group of 10. The reception from Thandi was very professional with humanity. She immediately sorted us into rooms and informed us where our breakfast was going to be helpful. The rooms are wow. The upper part with sitting area and large table with sea view is awesome. I recommend Gonana Guesthouse to anyone looking for only the best accommodation in Paternoster.
Personeel het uit hul pad gegaan om verblyf aangenaam te maak.
Can definitely recommend. Right on the sea, nice pool and friendly staff. They also have a bar fridge with an honesty system in the lounge area.
We were received very kindly. The place is beautifully furnished and very tidy. The breakfast was delicious and peaceful, because you look out over the sea. The correspondence with us beforehand was extremely professional and very helpful. This accommodation is highly recommended.
Had a great stay, you couldn't be closer to the beach. Lovely sea view.
Gonana's greatest asset is its location right by the sea. We missed coffee in our room a bit, but everything was neat and comfortable. Thanks also for friendly staff.
Fantastic service received from the ladies at Gonana. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs rest for their soul.
Thandi is the best hostess ever. She arranged massages for us, booked restaurants and her breakfast is top notch.
The guest house is located by the beach - we really relaxed and had a lovely weekend.
We had the best stay (5 star) with breathtaking views, excellent amenities and the warmest, friendliest staff. Thank you so much for a soul reviving holiday.
Very neat, unique and peaceful guest house where we could relax and enjoy the area.
I had to leave at 6 o'clock. The owner got up early and baked a loaf of bread to put in my sandwiches. Never served such a good server. My dogs were welcome and safe.
Fantastic accommodation, warm hospitality, the most beautiful view and the most delicious breakfast. Couldn't ask for anything more. Definitely want to visit again. Thank you very much.
Gonana is die beste plek om te bly in Paternoster! Die gasvryheid van Joy en Thandi was uit die boonste rakke. Joy was so gaaf om vir ons plek te bespreek by die Noisy Oyster vir aandete, beste kos! Joy hulle was so oulik om ons Yorkie, Boesman, te akkommodeer met 'n bedjie, en hondebeskuitjies in ons kamer. En julle honesty bar laat 'n mens voel of jy in Namibië is. Daar is soveel wat ek wil sê van Gonana, hulle akkommodeer elke ding waaraan jy kan dink! Ek en my man reis baie gereeld en julle is definitief ons nuwe gunsteling! Love julle!
Great service. Best views.
Excellent location, clean, tidy and very friendly staff. As mentioned in a previous reference, the towels are no longer usable and must be replaced. The fact that there is no handrail at the stairs is also of concern.
Only criticism is they should get better bath towels, give them a 1 out of 5 for that, then because our room was in the courtyard the blinds are not sufficient, you can see through, even more so in the evening when there is a light is on and you are in the shower. Unfortunately there is no alternative for lighting during load shedding other than solar panels on their roof.
Very friendly staff and pet friendly.
This is the loveliest guesthouse I've ever stayed in. Thandi is the best! Location of the guesthouse is excellent, our room was fantastic! We will definitely stay at Gonana again.
A beautiful, extremely luxurious guest house with direct access from your room to the beach. Thandi and her staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The view is breathtaking, breakfast is delicious and everything you could need is there. Hope to go again soon!
Wonderlike gastehuis. Alles tot die fynste detail uiteengesit, tot die bedjie en koekies vir ons hondjie! Die dames het ons baie tuis laat voel. Ons het baie gemaklik geslaap en die ligging is lieflik op die rand van die dorp.
I wish I could stay longer. Thandi was so friendly and helpful, it feels like you are visiting friends. Great experience.
We enjoyed the tranquility, good food and surrounding. Beach walks are the best.
Sien sterre.
Warm reception and hospitality. Clean rooms and most amenities included, except a microwave in the guesthouse's kitchen, should you had wished to warm up a takeaway to enjoy on the balcony, but all the more reason to try out many of Paternoster's lovely restaurants. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the beautiful beach view from the balcony. Gonana Guesthouse will see us again soon!
The reception was friendly and helpful at all times. The guest house is on the beach which makes it nice to go for a walk. We were also within walking distance of the town which makes the accommodation a good central point. We will visit Gonana again.
Unfortunately, Gonana is not child-friendly. Pool does not have a gate or net and the stairs to the living area are very narrow and high. There are also no arrangements to hold on to climb the stairs. Other than that, Thandi is fantastically friendly.
Very nice visit, beautiful sea view and nice breakfast place is very quiet and nice to enjoy in the pool
