The few minutes drive from Paternoster to Farr Out (TGCSA 4 Star) is not what you would exactly call far. But when you arrive in this sandy bushveld wilderness, you do feel pleasingly remote. Crunching up the glinting shell pathway you can see across an indigenous garden and right out to sea. Earlier risers may catch some of the wildlife that comes by when it thinks no-one's looking. Join Deon on a beach buggy excursion with a little wind in your hair going out overlooking the dunes. How about a braai in a Wigwam (TP)? Rainy days are also covered, with a host of board games, including a much-loved thirty-year-old edition of German Monopoly. Rooms are modern, with televisions, stereos and some of the most exciting loo seats. Make sure you get a chance to spend a few minutes in the garden basket-chair before you leave. Specially imported from Germany, it shelters brilliantly from the wind, allowing you to sit in peace, looking out over the dunes for an hour or ten. English, Afrikaans and German spoken.
