Farr Out Guesthouse  

Tucked in Paternoster on South Africa’s west coast, Farr Out Guesthouse feels gloriously off the beaten track. It’s just minutes from Paternoster Beach and a short drive to Cape Columbine Nature Reserve and the historic Cape Columbine Lighthouse — about two hours from Cape Town. Hosts welcome guests in English, German and Afrikaans.

Crunch up the glinting shell pathway through an indigenous garden and you’ll spot sea views and the foghorn in the distance. Four individually decorated rooms, a self-catering top-floor apartment (The East Wing) and the glamping Wigwam Rising Moon give you options from B&B to private stays. Expect warm, simple décor, in-room coffee/tea makers, TVs, minibars, bathrobes and blackout drapes. Stargaze from a wood-fired hot tub or book a Beach Buggy Safari for a properly wild escape.

Relax with massages, body treatments and a massage room at the on-site spa. There’s a wood-fired hot tub, a bar/lounge, restaurant, picnic and barbeque areas, a library and a playroom for kids — family-friendly without the fuss. Free parking and a tour desk make getting out to the coast easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and quiet, sandy bushveld evenings.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available across the property. The guesthouse also offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box, plus shuttle and tour/ticket assistance (surcharge).

An on-site restaurant and a bar/lounge keep things simple and social. Continental breakfasts are served daily from 8:00–9:30 for a fee, and the picnic/barbeque areas let you craft your own seaside meals.
