Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel

The Nature King Suites are spacious and filled with bright, natural light. A calming cream and white colour palette flows throughout the room, which works to focus guests’ view on the vivid nature outside the suite. These suites come with a comfortable lounge area which sits adjacent to a large bedroom area, with a comfortable king-size bed that is covered in crisp white bed linens. A loft space sits above the bedroom which offers the working guest a suitable place to work and space for children over the age of 12 to sleep.

These suites both come complete with ensuite bathrooms which include a spacious walk-in rainfall style shower and a large egg bathtub, perfect for a relaxing soak. At the end of a long day, guests can unwind on their private terrace, staring endlessly over the thickly vegetated brush.

The Ocean Suites are spacious and bright, with a white and blue colour palette which is reminiscent of Mediterranean interior styles and echoes the beach below, with bursts of colour in artwork and plants. A cosy king-size bed is covered in crisp white bed linen, and a comfortable lounge area offers guests a perfect place to relax. The ensuite bathrooms include a spacious walk-in shower and feature edge bathtub.

Each suite comes complete with a private terrace that overlooks the sandy beach and sparkling sea, with comfortable deck chairs where guests can unwind and get lost in gazing at the endless horizon over the ocean.

These suites are slightly smaller than the Ocean Suites, but no less luxurious. The suites are bright, filled with natural light through wide sliding glass doors which let in fresh air and sunshine which reflects off the white walls. A cosy bed sits in the centre of the suite, covered in crisp white bed linen and plush pillows. All suites come with an open plan en-suite bathroom which comes complete with a spacious walk-in shower, and an outdoor shower can be found just outside the suite. The private and sheltered courtyard offers guests the perfect place to unwind after a long day spent on the beach.

Food at Leeto is cooked by a talented and professional chef who is from the local area, and has a deep understanding of the local flavours and ingredients. The restaurant is modern and chic, with sweeping panoramic views of the white sandy beach and glistening turquoise ocean. Delectable meals will showcase fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients and guests can enjoy dining on these delectable dishes while the sun sets over the sparkling ocean.

With the glistening ocean on your doorstep, you can spend the whole day enjoying some ocean activities. Guests who enjoy the peace and solitude of fishing can grab a line and spend an afternoon catch and release fishing. Spend an afternoon swimming in the warm waters of the sea or paddling in the shallows, or book a boat cruise to explore the coastline of Paternoster and beyond. Kayaking is available from some of the beaches, where you can explore the waters at your own pace, and maybe even get to see the penguin colonies nearby. Whale and dolphin watching is also exceptional here from July to December.

As the sun is setting, stroll gently along the sandy beach, feeling the sand between your toes as you enjoy the sun setting over the glistening horizon, bathing the beach in golden and warm tones. For the adventure seeker, beach buggy trips can be arranged where you can whiz across the sand, exploring the beach.

There are many activities which guests can enjoy in Paternoster. Spend a day meandering through the village, meeting the locals, browsing the art gallery and curio shops, and buying some souvenirs from the local craft market. Many hiking trails start in the village, and will take you exploring around the West Coast, or guests can arrange a mountain biking trip or even a day spent horse riding. With two national parks close by, West Coast National Park and West Coast Fossil Park, there are no ends to what you can explore.

Guests can relax and indulge in some self-care while staying at Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel. With their very own Elements Wellness Suite, guests can spend an afternoon here enjoying a stress-relieving massage or facial treatment which will all be customised to the needs of the individual. After your indulgent massage, make your way to the 20m swimming pool for a refreshing dip to escape the heat of the afternoon.

Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel has partnered with West Coast Kids, which is an organisation which helps disadvantaged children out of poverty. With unemployment high in rural fishing villages, West Coast Kids help the local children gain an education to help better their future employment opportunities in a way which empowers them. Being a local and small operation, West Coast Kids know all the children on an individual level and therefore can tailor the help they provide to offer the most useful help to each individual child. They partake in education projects, environmental projects, and health projects to empower and educate, and to create a better future for the local children.

Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel understands the importance of protecting the beautiful environment which surrounds them and so takes active measures to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Some such measures include having and managing their own vegetable garden, not using pesticides, having energy-efficient appliances, and providing bath products that are handmade and use natural ingredients with African origins. The gardens which are planted around the hotel are indigenous, allowing watering to be kept to a minimum. Solar panels provide all the hot water to the hotel, and they have their own owl hotel, which attracts owls and bats to the area which in turn manages rodents and insects in a natural way.
