What a wonderful experience! Friendly and extremely helpful staff who went out of their way to assist with every part of my stay (including a really late arrival due to a delayed flight). Five star service, wonderful food, peaceful and breath-taking setting - I will definitely come back to your beautiful guest house. I met some lovely people and felt... More

We were unfortunate with regards to weather during our stay at the beautiful, cozy Abalone Boutique, but were overwhelmed by the hospitality and presentation of room and treats. A definite recommendation is the saFFron restaurant which is on the premises, serving professional chef-class dishes, and once again service with a smile. Even though it was raining most of the time,... More

I stayed one night at this wonderful guesthouse in Paternoster and was so impressed with everything, from the superb service from arrival to departure, to the lush and comfy bedroom with all modcons - coffee pod machine, sherry, fruit, bath salts, incence, candles and ultraluxuriuos linen and pillows. The afternoon high tea was a delight, the breakfast excellent and included... More

Took a chance on a discounted break and it was well worth it. Drove up from Cape Town for a night and had an absolutely brilliant stay. The service was exceptional and everybody exceeded expectations in making our stay peaceful and relaxing. The restaurant was outstanding and the setting exceptional.

What a wonderful place to stay! 5* Attention to detail and service. So many small touches go into making a big impression at Abalone. The staff are friendly and efficient. Breakfasts superb and the afternoon teas a tasty treat and a definite must! Rooms comfortable and amazingly decorated. A sea-view room would have just made our trip so perhaps this... More

We stayed at Abalone Guesthouse for 2 nights in April of 2012 as a weekend getaway from Cape Town. From the very beginning the very friendly staff tried their best to make us feel as comfortable as possible. Our room had its own private terrace with sea view. It was spacious and the bed and bedding were absolutely fantastic. The... More

This was my second visit to Abalone House. It was every bit as enjoyable as my first stay. The staff were friendly and efficient without being over-bearing. It's a bed and breakfast, but I had an excellent dinner at the in-house restaurant. To me the communal lounge / bar area is an absolute treat with an array of interesting artifacts... More

Frendly helpfully starf, in not the best location. If you don't get a sea facing room you are overlooking the back street or the trash bins as we were, ( athough requesting one) There were sea facing room available but we were told they were all taken. As we were paying $350.00 per night with breakfast and afternoon tea included... More

Thank you for your feedback. We only have a limited number of sea facing rooms, and despite the fantastic sea views offered on deck, we offer a variety of comforts and luxuries in our suites to spoil our guests. More
