Ah! Guest House: Paternoster

Ah! ha Ah!ha I like it...  "You see! you must always be nice to children, for the simple reason; they grow up and then they're nice to you (especially useful when you're getting on). Our nephew and niece invited us to celebrate their 23rd (I think) wedding anniversary with them in Paternoster at the most beautiful, AH!some Guesthouse AH! First impressions are always lasting and my first glimpse of the establishment with it's tangerine shutters, windowsills and doorframes spoke volumes, in Paternoster you do white with a blue trim. I loved the art, the furnishings, the acid washed kitchen cupboards, the long table in the dining room just spoke to my heart! Our room was the new extension, I think it's the ""orange room"" and I loved it. The attention to detail is evident throughout the house and even the smallest item has been lovingly sourced, carefully placed to please the eye and the guest.I can't imagine one guest not raving about the food, breakfasts are a three course feast, so delicious it makes one's day. Rather than eat out on Saturday evening we joined our fellow guests and enjoyed the now famous ""long table"" dinner party, a 5 star meal was served by our fabulous host and hostess Arnold (chef extraordinaire) and Annalise his gorgeous wife. We were enthralled by our ecclectic fellow diners and I'm sure no other eatery would've served a more perfect anniversary dinner. Sadly we had to pack up on Sunday evening but left with fond memories, renewed friendships and a couple of extra kilo's, no! I didn't nick the fabulous paintings, the luxurious matress cover or the Mexican Chimerea on the deck, neither did I borrow a DVD nor a book, and I promise I left the vintage cutlery on the table. Eish! the weight is on my waistline! We'll be back I promise and I have special friends whom I'd like to bring along. AH!men. Stayed September 2012, travelled as a couple"
