Your Hosts

The Farr Out team welcomes you to Paternoster's relaxing 'suburb'.

Marion Lubitz, originally from Germany, was hooked onto South Africa since her first visit in 1989. She moved permanently to the country in 1998 to dedicate herself to the tourist industry. Since 2007 she is the volunteer chairperson of Paternoster Village Tourism and tries to uplift tourism in Paternoster. She also is very much involved with the organisation of the annual Paternoster Heritage Festival on 24 September which is focused on raising funds for Paternoster children to be able to take them out for educational trips.

South African born Deon van Schalkwyk with his passion for the West Coast, convinced Marion to settle down in the quiet area of Paternoster. After 24 years of Air force duty he called it a day to start a new life along the coastline. In 2009 he decided to study again and became a quailified Tour Guide. This gives him the oppurtunity to take out the guests for either casual strolls in the Beach Buggy or more comfortable trips in the Landcruiser to share the interesting stories and history of the West Coast.

In September 2005 the very dedicated team at Farr Out opened its doors to visitors from all over the globe. Since then Farr Out is growing from strength to strength. Lots of additions took place over the past years, ie Koi pond, deck,  covered car parking, big play yard for children, tepee for braai, wood-fired hot tub ... who knows what is next ...

Together they have built up a reliable team with locals Marlen, Molla and Benjamin who are helping to keep up the standard of the house.
