Sundowners by the sea, long walks on the beach and superb seafood dinners…sound like the perfect December holiday? It is! Whether it’s a romantic holiday for two, a family getaway or a beach vacay with friends, The Gonana Collection in Paternoster is just the spot for you!
The flagship property of the Gonana Collection is Gonana Guesthouse – Paternoster’s first sustainable and environmentally conscious guesthouse. The brainchild of Swedish entrepreneur and interior designer Jonas Sandström, Gonana reflects everything Sandström is known for – beautiful spaces that are rich in detail, exquisite in taste, and above all else, considerate to the environment.
The oldest fisherman villa at the Bekbaai side of Paternoster has been re-imagined and completely renovated and refurbished into Gonana Collection’s Coral Villa. This three en-suite bedroomed Villa has a spacious communal lounge with an open fireplace and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with gas hob and bathrooms that feature walk-in showers and solar geysers. Its garden, with a braai area and an outside breakfast area faces the beautiful fynbos garden and allows glimpses of the Bekbaai beach just 50 metres away.
Gonana Guesthouse, the two Houses and now the Coral Villa and three Studios are all – to all intents and purposes – off the grid and fully environmentally ethical. Derived from the isiZulu word ‘embrace,’ Gonana embraces and welcomes with open arms all those who enjoy and appreciate nature and who are environmentally conscious.
