There are a handful of places on earth where you have to pinch yourself just to be sure that what you’re seeing is real.  The quaint fisherman’s village of Paternoster, along the Cape West Coast, is one of these places.  The Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel proudly honours these ancient indigenous travellers of this coastline, while welcoming modern-day discerning guests inspired by its serenity and surreal natural beauty.

The award winning Strandloper Ocean is a fusion of beach style and contemporary luxury; with organic lines, hues and textures with an overall feeling of simplicity. Interiors are silent - they do not compete with what is outside, but instead showcase the natural splendour of this unique coastline.  All rooms are appointed in organic furnishings that reflect the surrounding natural environment of wood, stone and washed colours. The barefoot luxury is understated with clean lines, pure linens and a neutral palette of textures that are uncluttered and soothing.  It is a place of wild beauty and wide white beaches washed by an ocean that’s cool and enigmatic where past and present meet.

Paternoster is a seafood mecca and the plentiful fruits of the sea remain in vast quantities of fresh fish, huge black mussels and other delicious treasures from the Atlantic Ocean.

Here you can leave the world behind. Strandloper is a retreat, a place of calm that is completely private and secluded. It is so much more than a hotel; Strandloper is a philosophy of being in harmony with nature and blending in with the delicate beauty of the surroundings. Here, heaven meets earth on the shores of the Atlantic. It is not another place, it is another world.
