Read my recent review of yet another fantastic stay at Gonana Guesthouse and the fun activities we enjoyed in this charming and quaint West Coast fishing village.
Gonana Guesthouse, owned by Swedish entrepreneur and interior designer Jonas Sandström, is Paternoster’s first sustainable and environmentally conscious guest house. Located on the Bekbaai beach alongside a greenbelt, it is effectively off the grid and completely environmentally ethical. Water is recycled, power is solar generated, plastic usage is minimal, chemicals are taboo, the gardens are indigenous and water-wise, and with the ethos of ‘buy local, think global,’ the décor is all-natural and locally sourced.
Gonana’s eight en-suite guest rooms are a study of calm and tranquillity. Seven of the rooms have private terraces/balconies, three of which lead directly to the beach, and the upstairs three-sleeper ‘triple’ room has its own private balcony. One of the rooms, The Studio is designed as a small apartment with an upstairs bedroom with a balcony (with a partial sea view), a lounge area, a small kitchenette and a bathroom downstairs which can be rented as a self-catering option. Upstairs is the dining area where guests can enjoy breakfast and a stunning sea view, and the adjacent lounge area, with comfortable classic leather couches, is the perfect place to curl up with a book, a cup of coffee or tea and simply exhale.
The recent addition of two self-catering cottages offers the perfect option for guests seeking total privacy. There is the two-bedroom, four-sleeper Acacia Cottage, and the one-bedroom three-sleeper Aloe Cottage. Both have fully equipped kitchens, a dining area, patios/balconies with sea views and braai facilities. Power is solar-generated, so as with the Guest House, the cottages are not affected by loadshedding. The cottages are pet-friendly – small to medium breeds of socialised/well-behaved dogs are welcome. There is Wi-Fi and nighttime security. The name Gonana is derived from the isiZulu word ‘embrace’ and all who enjoy and appreciate nature and are environmentally conscious are welcomed with open arms at Gonana Guesthouse.
