Die woonstel was 'n heerlike verrassing want dit was baie netjies en die uitsig was asemrowend. Dit was rêrig die moeite werd om die naweek daar deur te bring. Ek sal dit vir almal aanbeveel wat bietjie wil wegbreek van al die geraas. Baie dankie.

Dit is die mooiste plekkie. Ek love die decor van die plek. Perfek vir 2 mense. Die stoep het 'n lekker gerieflike braaiplek.

Die netheid van die verblyf kry 'n 5/5. Baie netjies en pragtig. 'n Lekker bed is 'n noodsaaklikheid as mens 'n plekkie huur en ons het heerlik geslaap. Die water was net nie so lekker warm nie. Dit is die enigste negatiewe punt wat ek kan uitlig.

Seker een van die bestes wat ons nog gehad het.

Colin en sy vrou is wonderlike mense, hulle het ons regtig laat tuis voel. Die "loft" het alles in wat jy nodig het vir jou verblyf daar, nie te praat van die heerlike buitebraai nie. Ons het saans heerlik gaan stap langs die see en die buitelug geniet.

Probably one of the best we've had.

Colin and his wife are wonderful people, they really made us feel at home. The "loft" has everything you need for your stay there, not to mention the delicious outdoor barbecue. In the evening we went for a lovely walk along the sea and enjoyed the outdoors.

Heerlike, rustige naweek.

Die moderne, knus eenheid is in 'n stil area met min straatverkeer. Mens kan maklik stap na die strand, winkels en restaurante. Omdat dit 'n dakwoonstel is, was dit heerlik privaat en het ek nooit onveilig gevoel nie. Die trappe na die eenheid het ook 'n toesluithek aan die onderpunt. Ek kon snags met die venters wyd oop slaap en kon die see ruik en hoor. Milk Thistle is ordentlik toegerus en die eienaars het moeite gedoen met klein ekstras. Dit is sekerlik die skoonste, netjieste eenheid waarin ek nog gebly het in Paternoster. Welgedaan aan die eienaars!

Lovely, peaceful weekend.

The modern, cozy unit is in a quiet area with little street traffic. One can easily walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Being a penthouse, it was wonderfully private and I never felt unsafe. The stairs to the unit also have a locking gate at the bottom. I could sleep at night with the venters wide open and could smell and hear the sea. Milk Thistle is decently equipped and the owners have made an effort with little extras. This is certainly the cleanest, neatest unit I have ever stayed in in Paternoster. Well done to the owners!

Wat 'n wonderlike plek in die hartjie van Paternoster. Die gashere was gasvry en vriendelik en die verblyf absoluut pragtig.

Milk Thistle het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Die kombuisie is uitstekend toegerus met die nodige, die plek is netjies en skoon en selfs die braaiplek word voorsien van 'n rooster. Die dekor is perfek en mooi gedoen vir die see-huisie. Ons kon nou wel nie die see sien nie, maar dit is binne stapafstand van die strand en die dorpie se hoofstraat met lekkerny-winkels en eetplekke. Ons het die verblyf baie geniet en sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir toekomstige reisigers.

What a great place in the heart of Paternoster. The hosts were hospitable and friendly and the accommodation absolutely beautiful.

Milk Thistle exceeded all our expectations. The kitchen is excellently equipped with the necessary, the place is neat and clean and even the braai area is provided with a grill. The decor is perfect and beautifully done for the seaside cottage. We couldn't see the sea, but it is within walking distance of the beach and the village's main street with sweet shops and eateries. We really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend it to future travelers.
