🇿🇦🇳🇱 Home in the Netherlands, but our hearts are still partly in Graaff-Reinet! ❤️

We’ve been back in the Netherlands for a little while now, enjoying the Dutch summer, but it’s such a great feeling knowing that Far Far Away Guesthouse is in the very best hands. 🌿✨

A huge thank you to our incredible team for their dedication, care, and warm hospitality every single day. Seeing our guests continue to enjoy memorable stays while we’re away gives us complete peace of mind.

Far Far Away is more than just a guesthouse – it’s a team effort, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built together. 💙

To everyone visiting Graaff-Reinet: our doors remain open, the coffee is hot, the beds are comfortable, and the smiles are genuine. 😊

We look forward to returning later this year, but until then, thank you to our amazing team for keeping the magic alive

The Garden Room at Far Far Away has its own little world.
Step outside and the garden is right there. Morning light coming through, birds doing their thing, nobody needing anything from you. It is the kind of room you check into and immediately stop looking at your phone.

If you have been putting off a proper break, this might be the nudge you needed.
What would you do with a slow morning and nowhere to be? Tell us in the comments.

Graaff-Reinet is not a passing-through town. It never was.
Stay at Far Far Away and use it as your base. Drive to the Valley of Desolation before the day heats up. Take the hour north to Nieu Bethesda, walk through the Owl House, sit under the pepper trees at the Sneeuberg Brewery with a cheese platter and a craft ale, and be back in time for the sunset from our garden.

Start a morning at Maria's Coffee roastery on Somerset Street. Spend an afternoon at Karoo Origins, the brand new fossil centre that is already being compared to international museums. Walk the historic streets of South Africa's fourth-oldest town.

Far Far Away has four carefully designed rooms, a garden, a pool, and hosts who genuinely love this place and want you to love it too.

This is not a stopover. This is your holiday.

Some places you just pass through.

Graaff-Reinet is not one of them.

We've had guests arrive for one night and quietly ask if they can book two more. We always say yes.

There's something about waking up here. Rooibos steaming on a sunlit patio. The Karoo light is doing that thing it does in the morning. A town full of stories, where history literally shows up in the walls around you.

And when you're ready to head out? The Valley of Desolation is 14km away. Buffalo, Kudu, Mountain Zebra and 220 species of birds are even closer. Nieu Bethesda and the Owl House are a beautiful Karoo drive north.

Your base for all of it.

The Victorian-Gothic Dutch Reformed Mother Church dominates Church Square and has been likened to Britain’s Salisbury Cathedral. Built from stone donated by a local farmer, it’s an easy stroll from Far Far Away.

Dolerite pillars soar 120 m above the valley floor, and late‑afternoon light turns them fiery shades of ginger and apricot. After wandering the viewpoints and spotting wildlife along the 9 km drive, retreat to Far Far Away for sundowners on the stoep.
