Zula Beach Cottage

Paternoster is one of the West Coast’s oldest fishing villages, known for sandy beaches, deep blue skies, whitewashed cottages and red rock lobsters – or “red gold”, as they’re locally called, thanks to their high value. With quiet streets, quaint shops and quirky restaurants (including Wolfgat, which was recognised as the Best Restaurant in the World in February 2019), it’s the ideal weekend getaway – and where better to stay than right on the beach?

That’s where you’ll find Zula Beach Cottage, a self-contained, studio-style beach cottage for two on Langstrand Beach. It’s got everything you need from a seaside escape, from a private enclosed garden (yes, it’s pet-friendly) to a cosy indoor fireplace, a fully equipped kitchenette with Smeg appliances, a gas braai on the patio and a little blue gate that leads to the beach. There’s also WiFi and satellite TV – but who needs those when you’ve got soft, white sand and the sparkling sea right on your doorstep?
