Farr Out Guesthouse: A Quirky Escape on the West Coast

The Western Cape is filled with quiet and cosy holiday destinations, but for travellers seeking something a little quirky, Farr Out Guesthouse is the place to be. Tucked away on a smallholding surrounded by fynbos and wildlife, the guesthouse offers a whimsical setting for a seaside holiday close to nature. It is the kind of place where tranquillity isn’t just a word; it’s a way of life where each accommodation option is a hideaway designed for rest and relaxation.  

Find Your Corner of the West Coast 

The accommodation at Farr Out Guesthouse welcomes every kind of traveller, especially those wanting to step away from city life to a place where Mother Nature sets the pace. Located about an hour and a half from Cape Town near Paternoster, the guesthouse offers two elegantly furnished guest rooms, an upmarket self-catering apartment and an exciting glamping experience. Each accommodation option accommodates up to two guests, making it ideal for couples or solo travellers. 

The guest rooms are packed with everything visitors could need for a once-in-a-lifetime getaway on the West Coast. The Black Mussel room is a cosy hideaway with a spacious, vinyl-floored bedroom offering a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of nature. Meanwhile, the White Mussel room overlooks the lush garden with a pond from its private terrace where the guests can enjoy a quiet place to unwind. 

For those seeking a stylish getaway, The East Wing apartment offers all the comforts guests need for seaside stays. Equipped for self-catering stays, the apartment lets guests spend mornings taking in the sea view on the horizon over coffee before heading out for the day, while in the evenings, guests can enjoy movie nights on the Smart TV or spend time in private wood-fired Hot Tub for exclusive use. 

For a glamping experience unlike any other, the Wigwam Rising Moon tepee tent (tipi) offers guests their own moonbeam palace. Inspired by Native Americans, it offers a romantic setting for switching off and enjoying the surroundings. It is a camping experience with all the comforts of modern luxury, including an en-suite bathroom. 

Adventures On and Around the Property 

At Farr Out Guesthouse, every day effortlessly balances adventure with relaxation. Some guests might spend the evening soaking in the wood-fired Flintstone’s Jacuzzi, while others take to the day activities such as Beach Buggy Fynbos Safari and/or inhouse Healing Touch massage treatments. Guests can also explore the landscaped garden, have fun at the illusion chair, spot birds, and look out for the resident Little Five (mongoose, tortoise, francolin, hare and duiker). For a slower afternoon, the garden wicker baskets offer spots to relax.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
