Emily Main Cottage

Paternoster – Western Cape

offers homely self-catering accommodation for up to 4 people sharing, featuring a wonderful blend of indoor fireside comfort and outdoor relaxation in a garden setting with views to the sea.

Who could resist the allure of the front stoep at Emily Main Cottage? It is as inviting as any porch or patio could be; it begs you to sit and watch the world go by, or catch the sunsets across Bekbaai (Bek Bay), and it holds the promise of a warm welcome within!

Follow the path through the garden to the front door, enter a holiday home designed in the style of a fisherman’s cottage … and the warmth of the welcome will be complete! This is a place for holidays, fun and relaxation with families and friends!

The open plan living area is amply furnished with a comfortable seating area, classically decorated and perfect for quiet contemplation or lively conversation. Ideally positioned as a hub between lounge, fireplace and adjoining kitchen, a langtafel (long table) draws people together for memorable mealtimes or fun and games by the fire. Watch your appointed braai-master at the indoor braai (barbecue) or cook in the fully-equipped kitchen; this cottage offers you the essence of holidays and leisure, South Africa style!

Emily’s Main Cottage

Two bedrooms with double beds complete the picture. The main bedroom on the ground floor has direct access to the stoep, and access to an adjacent bathroom equipped with bathtub and shower. Up the stairs, the charming loft area feels like another world; the bed is screened for privacy, along with a quaint bathroom complete with Victorian bathtub. Skylights bring the light in, and a window peers across the greenery to the sea and the lighthouse beyond. A secluded area provides another space for reading, conversation or games.

While Emily Main Cottage invites you to enter a world of seclusion and relaxation, you can still stay connected; complimentary WiFi is available throughout the house. No TV’s, so brilliant opportunity to connect with nature and your surroundings.

While you may be enjoying this private space in a self-catering mode, rest assured that your hosts at Paternoster Manor are right next door! If you opt for a lazy morning without cooking, you can walk around to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast in the Manor Dining Area – just make advance arrangements with our team.

If you choose to join us for breakfast, this is a sensory experience at in a 4-star guest house; an extensive continental buffet is accompanied by a hot breakfast. This meal is served in the newly refurbished Manor Dining area. Weather permitting, seating can be “al fresco” – in the courtyard area. Breakfast at the Manor could be a hearty start to your day of relaxation in Paternoster!
