Company information

ah! guest house is owner run by husband and wife team Arnold & Annalise. Arnold was an actor for a short period of time before his true calling, cooking, lured him into the food- and cheffing industry some 27+ years ago. He hails from the Swartland area whereas Annalise, a well known Afrikaans actress, is originally from Gauteng. After living in Johannesburg for 17 years we decided on the slow life in the picturesque Paternoster.

Property information

Good food, good wine and good conversation around the communal kitchen table is an essential part of the ah! guest house experience. Quirky, fun, artistic and lived in...just like being at home without all the responsibility. A set 3 -course breakfast is served daily at 09h00. Our Chef's Table Dinner is mainly available on Tuesday & Friday to in-house guests only. Let us take care of you.
