Farr Out Activities

What's next? Check it out below

Time to hit pause and let your soul take a breather! Nestle yourself into our charming garden beach wicker baskets, specially imported all the way from Germany—perfect little windproof cocoons of chill.

Grab a good book, sip something chilled, or simply stare into the distance. Lose track of time—an hour, two, maybe ten… who’s counting when the world slows down like this? Whether you’re reading, napping, or just daydreaming, these cozy hideaways are your passport to ultimate serenity, all while keeping a stylish eye on the Paternoster landscape.

Because sometimes, the best activity is… absolutely nothing at all (except maybe a gentle breeze and a happy sigh).

Beach Buggy Fynbos Safari

Beach Buggy might be an Oldtimer but not too old to have lots of fun with!

Join local legend Deon van Schalkwyk on the wildest ride this side of Paternoster. This isn’t your average Sunday drive—this is the Beach Buggy Fynbos Safari! Picture yourself cruising along sandy veins of a dune track, hair in the wind, face dusted with adventure, while Deon spins tales of land, sea. Get your taste buds tingling with a Fynbos tasting adventure—yes, you can munch on wild herbs! 

Keep those eyes peeled, because nature’s guest list is dazzling if you are lucky: whales breaching offshore, dolphins surfing the waves, and a symphony of feathered locals swooping above. In between the wildlife wows, the fynbos itself puts on a botanical fashion show—rare blooms strutting their stuff across the veld.

It’s fun, it’s wild, it’s a little dirty (in the dune-track sense), and it’s absolutely unforgettable. So climb aboard, loosen your city screws, and let Deon steer you straight into adventure!

Please note the Beach Buggy is NOT a 4X4, but be surprised where this vehicle is able to take you!

You may get stuck… but don’t worry, there is always a way out!

Duration: 1,5 to 2-hour,  max 3 person, price on request

Tour Guide

Deon van Schalkwyk is a THETA (Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Education and Training Authority) accredited Tour Guide and has a good knowledge of the area.

Flintstone's Jacuzzi

Wood-Fired Hot Tub Magic! 

Swap the hum of pumps for the hush of nature! Our outdoor wood-fired Hot Tub is the perfect alternative to a conventional Jacuzzi. Imagine a peaceful evening in the bushveld, listening to nightjars, owls, and other nocturnal chatter. And who knows? You might get surprise visitors—our curious steenbokkies love a sneak peek while you soak. 

Astro-nerds and star-gazers rejoice! Count the stars, watch your stress melt away, soothe your back, and let your soul float. Stay as long as you dare—skin may even start growing between your fingers (well… almost!).

Honeymooners, take note: this tub is pure romance, perfect for an unforgettable evening under the stars.

Ask about our wellness packages and book early to avoid disappointment.
