Load shedding in the country occurs unpredictably and is caused predominantly by multiple-generation failures of ageing coal plants.

– Stove top whistling kettle.
– Rechargeable portable light in each room & kitchen.
– Intelligent rechargeable light bulbs for bedside lamps in both rooms.

Security –
As much as we would like to think our fishing village is a safe and friendly paradise, the reality is that this is South Africa and sadly crime happens everywhere.  I would be failing in my duty to you, my valued guests, not to point out that petty theft does happen when given the opportunity.  Die Kom Body Corporate is doing their best to secure your safety.  The crime, which targets small high value items like wallets, cell phones,
iPods, laptops, cameras, and binoculars, is generally not violent.  We strongly advise that all windows and doors are shut and locked, and alarms armed when you leave the unit unoccupied.  Please also ensure that doors & windows are closed and locked at ground level and all vulnerable areas. The cottage has a stay/sleep function, please take care to activate these at night.  Also take valuables from your car into the house or lock in your car boot.

Vendors –
Often the property may be assessed by the door-to-door vendors, particularly those selling kreef/crayfish/shells, during the day.  PLEASE do not allow them close to the cottage!!!!
If you do want to purchase crayfish, rather do so at the fish market or on the beach where no one gets close to your property. Remember that purchasing and being in possession of crayfish outside season is illegal and carries a severe fine.

These simple measures should go a long way to safeguarding your personal belongings and possessions.

Max of 4 guests allowed.  Only 4 beds are in the unit.
I would appreciate if you don’t have any meals on the lounge suite.
NO smoking inside the cottage.
Unfortunately, no pets nor parties are allowed.
No loud music, discharging of fireworks or crackers allowed.
Please use the laundry rack for all wet clothing and NOT the balcony nor the table.
The boats in Die Kom are for decorative purposes only.
NO playing in or around the boats nor on the rock areas.

Quiet times:
Strictly between 21:00 to 08:00 daily.
Non-compliance with the above rules will be considered as a breach of TC’s of the rental agreement.  The Body Corp reserve the right to terminate your booking with immediate effect and without a refund.
Guests will also be liable for any other costs incurred by neighbours or owners.
Please report any of the above to me should the surrounding neighbours not adhere to these rules.

Bolla-Bokkie – Fisherman Boat:

This boat is my private property and holds special sentimental value to me. It was named after my first grandchild, a little girl who was born on April 25, 2022. The shells were hand-collected, and the garden was planted by myself for the enjoyment of my guests.

Please take care of this area as if it were your own. If you see any children playing around the boat, in the garden, and breaking the shells, please kindly ask them not to do so. Taking photos at the boat is absolutely allowed!

Garbage bags:
Place do not leave any trash bags on the patio but rather in the waste room at the boom gate.

Woodstove/Fireplace:
It is important not to overload the stove, as this may lead to a cracked glass door. If this happens, the cost of replacing the door will be your responsibility.

Why Paternoster?
Paternoster the oldest fishing village along this pristine coastline, embodies the heart and soul of the West Coast. It is a wonderful & special place filled with contrasts and seasonal colours.
The stark beauty of the place – the pristine white sandy beaches that beautifully contrasts with the deep blue ocean makes it a great place for children to collect mussel shells on the beach.
Festooned with dancing daisies in Spring, surrounded by waving green wheat carpets in Winter, and often dusted in heat in Summer, Paternoster is an enchanting blend of old and new worlds.

When to visit Paternoster?
Paternoster is a great village to visit all year-round.
In the springtime, late August to September, the weather starts to heat up, and wildflowers burst out all over town.
During summer the town bustles with tourists seeking laidback beach vibes and sunny weather.
In fall and winter, Paternoster is cold, and the weather can be rather unpleasant with strong winds. If you do visit during winter, prepare to snuggle up next to the fireplace with a book.
Peak season runs between December to January, April, and late August. The weather is much more pleasant during these months.
