The eco-conscious Gonana Collection situated on Bekbaai beach in the calm and tranquil village of Paternoster on the West Coast of South Africa, is always a great place for a holiday getaway no matter what the season.
At Gonana, which means ‘to embrace’ in isiZulu, winter is welcomed as the ‘secret’ season – this is a time to turn inwards… a time to reflect… a time to enjoy long, lingering ‘embraces’ with Mother Nature and to keep the winter chill at bay in the warm and comforting ‘embrace’ of Gonana.
Here are five good reasons to book a stay at Gonana Collection this winter:
- Winter Warmer ‘Stay for Three Pay for Two’ Special for all the properties – valid from 1 June to 31 August 2023
- Dinners (must be pre-booked) and cheese platters will be served at the Guesthouse during the winter months (June – August 2023)
- Guests at the Houses (Aloe and Acacia) will receive a complimentary breakfast (served at the Guesthouse from 09:30) during the winter months (June – August 2023)
- Electric blankets and heaters have been added to all rooms
- The KolKol is available for use by Studio and Villa guests during the winter months for an additional R450, as Gonana provides the wood
