Welcome

There are kilometres of deserted sandy beaches and rocky coves waiting to be explored. Delight in the beauty of dune fynbos and the annual riot of spring flowers. Be awed by sightings of dolphins and whales. Enjoy the rich diversity of bird life.

Visit the Columbine Nature Reserve or the fascinating fossil museum. Get up close to the whales. Hike, kayak on the ocean or just sit back and enjoy the beautiful African sunsets.

Explore this fascinating region from the central point of Paternoster, a historic fishing village. And where better to stay over than the Blue Dolphin complex. We offer a choice of accommodation, either in a bed and breakfast home (Blue Dolphin) or in a cottage (Baby Dolphin) on a self-catering basis. Both homes are situated on the dunes and offer uninterrupted views of the sea.
