Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel

My fiancé and I spent 3 nights at the Strandloper as part of our engagement celebrations. We had been before, so knew it is the most wonderfully peaceful hotel, but continued to be surprised and delighted by their attention to detail and outstanding service. The staff went out of their way to make our stay special. The location, the setting, the food and the rooms are perfect. We stayed in a courtyard room (no view), but the room was so comfortable and beautiful wit its private garden that we honestly could not complain. We will be back!

Our welcome was one of the best of any hotels. Very friendly, with immediate glasses of sparkling wine and a hand towel. Despite being late for lunch they arranged for us to eat in the restaurant |The food was good but not amazing. The service excellent and the front desk was so helpful. Breakfasts were fabulous. The vibe throughout the hotel was fantastic, and nothing is too much trouble. ||What was most special were the views, with the ability to walk down the beach either way and amazing views to the beach. If you want to walk down to the main town there are some excellent restaurants. We had lunch at a small cafe and had delicious fish and prawns. ||The turn down service is great, with hand made chocolates left in the room. Lovely bath and shower and a great terrace, although the sun wasn’t on ours much. ||It’s important to point out that this isn’t a 5 star hotel, and the sheets/ duvets/ sun loungers, state of the pool (needs repainting and cleaning more often) reminds you of that. But the position and the service makes up for that. I would recommend some improvements to make it a must go destination, but we plan to go back.

Top rated. Everything was amazing. The best breakfasts and the lunches and dinners were exceptional, with lots of variety especially for pescatarians. You won't be disappointed.||The staff was always so nice and attentive to our needs. You also get hot water bottles in your bed when it is cold out. Never have seen that before!

We had the good fortune to stay in Solis Cottage. It was fabulous. Beautifully decorated and well equipped. Just 5 minute walk from the beach. There are also lovely restaurants in Paternoster. The staff looking after the cottage collection were also very welcoming and helpful, particularly Reagan. We hope to go back next year!

Our second stop of our holiday we were delighted to check in to The Strandloper at one end of Paternoster. The whole town is low rise and has that 'Greek' look to it with all buildings painted in white. The Strandloper is the same low rise white washed look and was a very relaxing environment to stay in. We chose one of the courtyard rooms and it was delighful with views over the fynbos and onto the beach but so private because no one could walk past your room. The room itself wasnt huge but it had a great indoor and outdoor shower with a waterfall feature that you could listen to when sat in the courtyard. The pool area wasnt the best if I am honest and could do with improving. But the food in the restaurant was absolutley superb and this and the kind and attentive staff are the standout highlights for us.

We stayed for 3 nights in a Nature suite and had a fantastic time looked after by Nossie and her wonderful team . Upon arrival we were greeted like old friends by the Strandloper team and offered canapés and a glass of fizz. The room was immaculately clean, furnished beautifully and the views to the nature reserve were outstanding . The sunrise was spectacular and the standard of food in the restaurant was exceptional. We will definitely be returning next year but for longer !

Superb service, food and luxurious beach getaway! Compliments to the lovely staff and the owners. We loved all the special attention to details like hot-water bottles being placed in the beds while you are at dinner, the service by the pool, the outstanding food and the splendid and very welcoming atmosphere beginning by the gardeners, room-maids, waiters and all people who make this place what it is. Hospitality is a hard business and the staff really deserve every bit of recognition for their outstanding moral and work…each and every one of you!

A beautiful location right set on the beach with no other houses close by, right on a very unspoilt beach, beautiful walks, lots to see and do. The hotel restaurant ‘Leeto’ serves very good food and the staff are very helpful and friendly. There are great seafood restaurants nearby in Paternoster, a pretty fishing village.
