Smugglers' Cottage BnB
A pet-friendly BnB with a pool near the village
About this stay
Smugglers' Cottage BnB sits ten minutes on foot from Paternoster Waterfront, close enough for a genuine walk into the village without needing a taxi for every trip. The pet-friendly policy widens the field on a coast where many boutique properties turn animals away, and the outdoor pool gives a reliable backup for days the Atlantic runs too cold. The Oyster Lounge sits five minutes away on foot for dinner, an easy stroll rather than a taxi ride. Free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking come standard, and the smoke-free policy keeps the bed and breakfast comfortable throughout for every kind of guest, four-star consistency running through every part of the stay.

Our take
This suits travellers with pets who still want walking access to Paternoster's village centre and a pool as backup for cooler days. Couples and families get the most from the combination of location, pool and pet-friendly policy. Those wanting immediate beachfront access should look toward Strandloper or Abalone instead, since Smugglers' Cottage trades sand-front for a village-adjacent bed-and-breakfast setting.
- Walk the ten minutes to Paternoster Waterfront rather than taxi, since the route is pleasant and direct
- Book ahead if travelling with a pet, since pet-friendly bed and breakfasts on this coast fill quickly
- Use the pool on days the Atlantic swell runs too rough for a comfortable beach visit
Why we love it
