Gonana Studio

Known for white sand and “red gold” (as the West Coast Rock Lobster is locally known), Paternoster is an authentic seaside town with oodles of character and charm. Once the site of the old ocean factories, the Paternoster Waterfront has been transformed into a creative hub filled with fine art, theatre, restaurants and more – and this is where you’ll find Gonana Studios. Each of the three self-catering Afro-Scandi units (Scallop, Mussel and Oyster Studios) boasts a queen or twin beds and a day bed, as well as a private patio with a built-in covered braai area.

Good to know
All three Studios are child-friendly, although there are stairs leading up to Scallop and Oyster Studios. Mussel Studio is on the ground floor, with direct access to the shared indigenous garden.
