103 guests' feedbackHad a great time, would recommend to any couple. Would have liked to stay longer, but have already spread the word among friends that it really is a place you can book.
The stay was great!
We had a great time staying in Marlyn! Everything is neat and clean and very nicely decorated.
We had a wonderful time and the experience was great. Would recommend.
We had a lovely stay in Marlyn and Dolfyn. Delfs regret that we only stayed one night. We would love to stay there again.
Definitely yes. Will come again.
The reception was friendly, everything was explained. The hostess provided her details and made sure everything was right and as desired. The annex meets everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The view is great.
The place is beautiful. We went to see a show at Die Koelkamers and slept over afterwards.
Only problem is the bed is already slept through on one side, so if you sleep two people on it, the other person rolls to the side. But it's a really cute place.
Yes, and it was not a first visit. Will return again in the future.
Absolutely lovely but just too short.
Beautiful place. Has everything needed. 5 minutes walking distance to the sea. Pet friendly. Nice and big bath.
We enjoyed it very much.
Our landlord was welcoming. We had privacy, and the stay was an absolute pleasure. Sitting on the stoep overlooking the ocean, even the crayfish tasted better. Would definitely go again… soon!
What can i say The most fantastic place to stay. The location, the view, just about everything. I will go there again and again.
Fantastic place. The host is excellent.
Location is excellent. The apartment has everything you need. The linen is very nice and neat.
The host is very friendly, the room is nice and well equipped. The house is well located and very safe.
The facilities were of high quality and a pleasure to stay and sleep there.
The stay was worth every penny. Thanks At for the wonderful place.
The place is very neat and clean, will definitely book again. Thank you At for your kind reception.
Wonderful stay, would definitely recommend.
We were kindly welcomed. The room was beautiful. Everything neat and clean. We will definitely visit again. Thank you At.
Marlyn had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had a lovely stay at Marlyn and Dolphin Self-catering. The place was very clean and tidy and we really enjoyed it, especially our barbecue on the veranda overlooking the sea, after 2 weeks on the pleasure boat. It was truly a pleasant experience. Thank you, At. The painting is beautiful, especially the one we talked about. We will definitely use your accommodation again.
We were received with open arms, did not expect this type of hospitality. Paternoster people are nice people. The view from Marlyn's balcony was absolutely stunning and worth doing it over and over again, we will definitely stay there again, on our next visit to Paternoster.
Very well equipped self-care accommodation. Clean, tidy and lots of space. Everything is certainly not crammed into a small room and bath and shower facilities make it very special. Beautiful and comfortable.
Very nice, neat and clean. Would recommend to anyone anytime. Absolutely value for money.
Quiet, beautiful, homey and worth it.
Lovely view of the beach from the balcony.
It was a wonderful experience, nice porch with barbecue area and a beautiful view of the sea. Will definitely book there again.
Close to the beach and quiet.
We had the most amazing stay. The upstairs unit had a great view and a braai outside. I have to say it was very well equipped, and the bath in the room was amazing, with a big shower as well. The kitchen is a bit tight, but hey, you are on holiday so it isn't too much of a problem, especially with all the restaurants around. The host is a great host and attended to anything we asked for.
At is very pleasant and helpful. Nice view from the porch over the sea.
We had a wonderful stay here and will definitely use Marlyn and Dolfyn again. Lovely large shower and bath. Comfortable bed with clean linen. The towels were clean and smelled good, many other guest houses, timeshare can come and find out a bit from you about how to keep towels tidy. I was especially pleased to see that there is a wall plug by the mirror cabinet, this is important for a woman. Furthermore, we had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer.
Will definitely use it again. Beautiful apartment for two people located in a quiet area. Delicious barbecue every evening on the stoep. Could switch off and rest!
Everything you need with the added bonus of a beautiful large bath, braai area that is sheltered from the wind and a peaceful neighbourhood.
The entrance to the car park very narrow and extremely difficult to drive in, we damaged our car in the process. Too many "house rules". We were told to park on the street which we found very unpleasant. The place is neat, but very cramped.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful room. Surrounded by the most beautiful works of art from the host (At Botha) and other artists. Excellent location with a beautiful view of the sea from the balcony.
Relaxed atmosphere gives you tranquility and makes you feel at home. Love the animals friendly place. Owner friendly and easy to talk to.
At Botha was an amazing host.
The place to stay with friends or family. The place is well located, clean and tidy. Will definitely stay there again.
Marlyn and Dolfyn have a beautiful view of the ocean with the most beautiful sunset. These are self-catering units with a bath and shower, At's personal collection of artworks can be viewed in each room. Tasteful decor with its own braai in front of each unit and a kitchen that has everything available for dining with a patio in front of each room. At is a fantastic host. I go back every year for another great visit in Paternoster. Feel free to visit At's gallery. At Marlyn and Dolfyn, guests are received, but leave as friends.
The beaches are beautiful and you can walk a long way. The host is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Very very nice! The bathtub in the room makes it terribly romantic. The decor is classic and one simply feels spoiled with all the beauty. We stayed in Marlyn, the top unit. The view is incredibly beautiful! The stoepie with braai makes it very cosy. We felt very special and had a really good time. We will definitely want to come and stay here every time.
We stayed in Marlyn, and the unit offered everything we wanted - all necessary amenities, tasteful decor and a braai with a fantastic view! At, our host was very helpful and communicated well. I would highly recommend the destination for a getaway for 2 people, it's top value for money.
What a sweet little gem. The top floor, Marlyn, was perfect - a view is breathtaking! Indoor braai facilities and the room had it all - a massive bath, shower, separate toilet, comfortable bed. Equipped with everything you need. The paintings on the walls are beautiful and exceptional. Our JR really enjoyed it because it was walking distance from the beach where she could run and we could go for nice long walks. We would definitely recommend it.
Beautiful studio apartment with little balcony and braai - sea views. We were on the top story. It's perfect for 2 people - has all you need, a really lovely ambiance - my husband and I thought it very tastefully decorated - stunning artworks by local SA artist At Botha. The bed is very comfortable with plush white linen and towels not always the case when renting away. The apartment is well positioned - close to the beach, just a short walk along a pretty bottled path and restaurants. The waterfront etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others.
Told all my colleagues about the place. Thank you very much.
We were looking for a break from the city's busy routine and found it in Paternoster. The property was very tidy with the most beautiful sea view with sunrise and sunset. Just what we needed to recharge for the new year.
Plek is baie nice! Ons het met ons troeteldiere gegaan en het baie gemaklik gebly. Baie naby aan die see met 'n amazing uitsig van die see! Sal die plek definitief aanbeveel! Foto's kan nie beskryf hoe mooi dit is nie, 'n mens moet self gaan. At was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.
Parking extremely clever and a challenge.
Safe location and room is nicely decorated with paintings. Lovely bath.
Only two nights stay but thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and feeling of "simple luxury". Definitely worth the visit and will return again.
Walking distance from the sea and from the restaurants. Definitely a winner.
Nice calm sea atmosphere!
Excellent location, hospitable, warm, value for money. Will definitely stay there again!
Lovely accommodation with a nice view and "cool" art on the walls.
Comfortable and the people are nice.
Good location, clean and tidy! Beautiful unit, will definitely go back!
Fantastic view and place to stay. Kitchen just a bit small. New fabric would be valuable. TV can also have more channels please.
What a lovely little gem. The top floor, Marlyn was perfect - a view to die for, undercover braai and the room have everything - massive bath, shower, separate toilet, comfortable bed, and even a little sitting-room corner with TV and a small kitchen but it got everything you need. We loved the stay and will definitely be back!
Was the perfect romantic getaway weekend. Marlyn is fully equipped, neat and cozy. Amazing view from the balcony.
Beautiful place and more. Definitely going again.
Parking is challenging.
Full of character, neat and clean. Nice views. Private and close to everything. Strongly recommended to friends and will visit again.
The room was great, with a cool bathtub and loads of lavender for lavender oil baths. The host was very friendly and helpful, it's also pet friendly and our dogs loved it.
We found the accommodation very good. The unit is equipped with good crockery, decent glasses, good knives and forks, quality corkscrew, large towels. We really enjoyed it and will stay there again.
The trash can was broken and to small for kitchen rubbish (no big bin available) No recycle bin either. Room very tight - no separate bathroom (thank goodness for a separate toilet).
The best for a couple to break away and find each other and relax - can't wait to visit again. Very hospitable and made us feel very much at home.
The unit was clean and pleasantly furnished, with all the necessary crockery. A few light bulbs didn't work. The roofing on the verandah made a noise in the strong wind on the first night.
Dis reg vir ’n blote oorslaap gerief.
It's perfect for the long weekend. Will not be able to stay in the one room any longer.
Unit is well equipped, luxurious and very comfortable. Contributed to making our time in Paternoster very special!
Dit is beslis een vir die boeke. Die uitsig was perfek gewees. Die rustigheid is dit wat ons wou hê. Baie dankie vir lieflike woontyd. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier.
A little awkward with dishwashing but everything else very pleasant.
Suggestion: on the balcony, a wind breaker on the ramp to the parking side would make a difference. Very windy but at least the view makes up for it. A short walk to the beach.
The place offers everything one needs for a quick getaway. The large bath is a bonus. The view is also beautiful. There is undercover parking, but the driveway is very narrow. I would not recommend that someone with a wide vehicle tackle this, the chance of bumping the vehicle is high. The location is good and safe. Would definitely recommend, we had a lovely stay.
Very friendly and helpful.
Nice and cozy, sea seen from the porch.
Unfortunately I forgot something there and didn't get it back nor was I compensated for it. All negative feedback.
Lounge furniture insufficient for more than overnight and more than one person. Sea view not as indicated and sunset blocked by next door building. Insufficient and unusable braai tools.
Uncle At is a friendly host. He and his kids went out of their way to say hello to the geyser, although it didn't bother us at all. Vehicle is safely parked, if you can drive.
We will go again.
We had a wonderful 3 days of rest, long walks on the beach and trying to decide where to eat next! Thank you to the owner, Mr At, for the accommodation that we found exactly as advertised. Your friendliness is appreciated and we enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back one day!
Lovely stay, beautiful view. Will definitely stay here again.
The place is neat and well equipped.
Really enjoyed it. Beautiful view. Definitely a place to relax.
What a wonderful experience and privilege it was to be able to stay with At Botha the actor and painter in Dolfyn. The sunset, the room's layout was all perfect and what one needs, his hospitality was outstanding. I would recommend anyone to stay here.
We stayed in the Marlyn upstairs unit. Photos can't do justice to the amazing sea views you will have and hearing the sound of the waves. The unit is perfect for a couple and the location is nice and quiet, yet close enough to walk to the surrounding restaurants. Absolute value for money. You might sometimes here the people from the main house talking or playing piano but it really didn't bother us. Parking is a little bit tricky up a narrow driveway but again not enough to take away from the great place that this is to stay at. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. A must stay if you are in Paternoster!
Lovely studio apartment will everything needed for a self-catering stay. Beautiful sea views from the patio and braai area. We will definitely be back.
Our stay at Marlyn was a wonderful experience! At is a wonderful host and his artworks make the unit unique! Marlyn's layout is well planned and equipped. What a lovely bath and a large shower, plus 2 sinks! It's location makes it nice to go for a walk and gives it a nice view of the sea. Would love to stay there again!
Everything was very neat and clean! Bed very, very comfortable. Bed linen and towels smell nice and are nice and soft. Incredible view and even though you are not right on the sea you can still hear the waves breaking. Nice quiet environment but walking distance from restaurants. Everything you need in the kitchen. Would definitely recommend Marlyn and Dolfyn and would definitely stay there again!
Dolfyn was comfortable and had everything available that you'd need for your stay.
Exceptional unit, beautiful paintings, could just relax and enjoy. Thank you for the hospitality.
Will go again. The room was very nice, the kitchen a bit small, but it's a good excuse to eat out every night. The view from the porch makes you want to just sit there and look at the sea.
Thank you, we had a very nice stay.
Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad in die pragtige area.
My husband and I were very impressed with our stay and the view we could have of the sea when sitting on the veranda. The house was well equipped inside, neat and beautiful. We really enjoyed our holiday and could be on the beach with just a short walk.
Best place to stay for a weekend. I would recommend this place to anyone. Very neat and very hospitable.
The breaking waves lull you to sleep. Helpful accommodation management.
We enjoyed it very much. The place is really very nice. All I would say is take a pair of tongs, but otherwise everything you could need is there.
