Two New Reasons to Escape to Paternoster This Season

Abalone Hotel & Villas has just released two exclusive midweek promotions — a Stay 3 Pay 2 coastal escape and a fully curated all-inclusive Seaside Reset. Here’s everything you need to know before you book.

There’s something about Paternoster that makes the rest of the world feel very far away. The whitewashed cottages, the fishing boats pulled up on the sand, the sound of the Atlantic from every direction — it’s the kind of place that slows you down the moment you arrive.

And now, Abalone Hotel & Villas is giving you two very good reasons to make the trip. Whether you’re after a longer, slower break or a fully curated coastal experience with fine dining, wine, and spa included, these new midweek promotions have you covered.

Both offers are available Sunday through Thursday, which means quieter beaches, unhurried mornings, and the village at its most peaceful. If you’ve been looking for a West Coast getaway that goes beyond the ordinary, this is it.

The concept is simple: book three nights of luxury accommodation in Paternoster and only pay for two. That third night is on the house — an invitation to extend your stay, settle deeper into the rhythm of the coast, and actually switch off.

This is the kind of offer that suits couples looking for a longer midweek break, remote workers who want to swap their home office for an ocean view, or anyone who’s been saying they need a proper rest for months. Three nights gives you the space to go beyond sightseeing. You can take a morning walk along Gaatjies beach, linger over a late breakfast, explore the village at your own pace, and still have time to do absolutely nothing.

And Paternoster is only about 90 minutes from Cape Town — close enough for a spontaneous getaway, but far enough to feel like a world apart. It’s one of the most sought-after weekend escapes from Cape Town, and even more rewarding during the quiet midweek window.

If you’d rather have everything taken care of from the moment you arrive, The Seaside Reset is designed for exactly that. This is a two-night, all-inclusive package that wraps accommodation, dining, wine, and wellness into one seamless coastal experience.

Here’s what’s included:

•   Two nights’ luxury accommodation at Abalone Hotel & Villas
•   Daily breakfast each morning
•   A three-course set menu dinner at Blues Restaurant — Abalone’s acclaimed on-site restaurant
•   A bottle of Fryer’s Cove wine with dinner, from one of the West Coast’s most celebrated cellars
•   An R400 spa voucher per room to use at the Abalone Wellness Suite
•   A welcome drink on arrival to set the tone

The Blues Restaurant is worth a visit in its own right. Known for marrying local West Coast ingredients with refined technique, it’s the kind of dining experience that stays with you long after the last course. Add a bottle of Fryer’s Cove — wine made just kilometres from the hotel — and you’ve got a pairing that captures the spirit of the region.

The Wellness Suite adds another dimension to the stay. Your R400 spa voucher can go towards massages, body treatments, or the innovative Welnamis therapy — a sound and vibration-based relaxation treatment that guests consistently describe as transformative. You’ll also have access to the heated pools, jacuzzi, and sauna throughout your stay.

Not sure which promotion suits you best? Here’s a side-by-side look:

Both offers are available Sunday through Thursday. Pricing depends on room type and dates — contact the hotel or book directly for the best rates.

Abalone Hotel & Villas offers several accommodation options, from boutique hotel rooms with rain showers and Nespresso machines to the brand-new Oyster Villa Seaview Suites with panoramic ocean views and direct pool access. For families or groups, there are also self-catering Ocean View Beach Villas right on Gaatjies beach, and a spacious two-bedroom Penthouse apartment.

Every room comes with daily housekeeping, turndown service, Charlotte Rhys amenities, smart TVs with Netflix, air conditioning, and fibre internet. Welcome sherry is waiting when you arrive. It’s boutique luxury with genuine West Coast hospitality.

There’s a reason both promotions are designed for the Sunday–Thursday window. Paternoster in the middle of the week is a completely different experience from the weekend. The village is quieter, the beaches are emptier, and the pace drops to something that actually resembles rest.

It’s also when you’ll find the best availability and the most relaxed service. Whether you’re sipping oysters at the Oyster Lounge, enjoying a spa treatment without rushing, or taking a long, uninterrupted walk along the coast, midweek is when Paternoster is at its most inviting.

Both the Stay 3 Pay 2 Coastal Escape and The Seaside Reset are available now for midweek stays. To check availability, get pricing, or secure your dates, visit the Abalone Hotel offers page or get in touch directly.

And remember, when you book direct, you’ll unlock exclusive perks including a R100 spa voucher per person, a welcome drink, priority early check-in from 1pm, and Abalone’s best rate guarantee. It’s always worth going straight to the source.

Paternoster is waiting. The only question is whether you want the extra night or the full reset.
