When you arrive at 4 star graded guesthouse Farr Out, located in this sandy bushveld wilderness, you do feel pleasingly remote. A few minutes' drive from Paternoster to Farr Out is not what you would exactly call far. Crunching up the glinting shell pathway you can see across an indigenous garden and right out to sea. Catch the glimpse of the last manned lighthouse of South Africa situated in nearby Cape Columbine Nature Reserve or listen to the foghorn and cuddle up. Go on, be extravagant, enjoy your vacation!
WELCOME - You have arrived at your perfect holiday accommodation in the most tranquil town Paternoster at South Africa's West Coast less than two hours' drive from Cape Town.

Prepare for an unparalleled symphony of senses with nature's gifts.
SEE - Gaze upon the ebb and flow of the tide in the distance and let your lingering awareness focus on a horizon which stretches on forever.
SMELL - The Fynbos with its own unique smell as well as sometimes even the salt of the sea drifting on the crisp sea breeze.
HEAR - Listen to the sound of nature: wake up by the bird calls in the morning or keep an ear out for the owl at night. Take a step back and let your soul catch up with your body. Enjoy the unspoiled tranquillity of the Fynbos, nature, ocean in the distance as the breath taking scene unfolds with your eyes closed.
FEEL - Whether you treat yourself to a wellness package in Hot Tub or let the wind play with your hair on a tailor-made Beach Buggy trip: your soul will thank you.
