Jaloersbaai Guest Cottage and Nes
A pet-friendly cottage near the working harbour
About this stay
Jaloersbaai Guest Cottage and Nes sits on the working harbour side of St Helena Bay, the fishing-town half of the coast rather than the Paternoster boutique strip further south. The kitchen makes it a natural self-catering base, and the pet-friendly policy widens the field for travellers who would otherwise struggle to find a welcoming stay along this coast. Harbour View Restaurant sits two minutes away by taxi for the nights cooking is not on the agenda, and the Vasco da Gama Monument makes an easy six-minute detour. Free Wi-Fi and free parking come standard, and the smoke-free policy keeps the cottage comfortable throughout for families and couples alike, with the working harbour itself a short stroll for anyone curious about the local fishing fleet.

Our take
This suits self-caterers and pet owners who want a quiet, working-harbour base rather than a boutique beachfront stay. The kitchen and pet-friendly policy together make it a practical choice for longer stays. Travellers chasing sea views or a resort pool should look toward the Paternoster side instead, since this cottage keeps things functional and local rather than polished.
- Cook at home using the kitchen and save Harbour View Restaurant for one or two nights out
- Bring pet documentation just in case, even though the property lists itself as pet-friendly
- Book ahead if travelling with a dog, since pet-friendly cottages on this stretch are limited
Why we love it
- Genuine pet-friendly policy
- Full kitchen for self-catering
- Quiet, working-harbour setting
- Smoke-free throughout
Why guests love itTravellers staying here find a practical, self-catering base on the quieter working-harbour side of St Helena Bay, away from the Paternoster crowds. The kitchen makes longer stays easy, and the pet-friendly policy is a genuine draw for travellers who struggle to find welcoming stays elsewhere on this coast. This suits function over polish, a cottage built for real stays rather than a weekend showcase.
