Fara's Guest House

Fara's Guest House is a spacious Malagasy run accommodation close to the centre of Antananarivo. Since October 2015 the newly opened guest house offers rooms to visiting tourists as well as to long-term guests on business trips to the capital.

Fara's Guest House is divided into 1 room (ca. 30m²) for 2 persons with double bed and shared bathroom (EUR 20 per night, including breakfast), 1 room (ca. 30m²) for 2 persons with double bed and private bathroom (EUR 25 per night, including breakfast) and 1 room (ca. 30m²) for 4 persons with double bed, bunk bed and shared bathroom (EUR 25 per night, including breakfast). The shared bathroom has a shower/tub and WC.

The living room is about 50m² big and equipped with couch and armchairs. On colder days guests can cosy up to the fireplace. Adjoined to the living room is a dining room (ca. 30m²). The shared spacious kitchen is well-equipped with all essential kitchen utensils, fridge and a microwave. There is an open-air courtyard with a BBQ area for those wishing to dine under the stars.

The host of the guest house, Fara, is a passionate cook and can prepare traditional Malagasy meals for lunch and dinner. Fara and her husband Richard spent many years in Germany and now live just next door to the guest house. Both speak fluent French, English, German and of course Malagasy.

Wifi and a private parking area is free to all guests. On the ground floor a separate business centre is planned. A 24x7 private medical practice occupies the top floor of the building.

Fara's Guest House also offers massages by a trained massage therapist using Homeopharma products. Madagascar is very rich in aromatic and medicinal plants and HomeoPharma produces a wide range of health products made from natural and sometimes endemic plants of the country.

A 30-40 minutes walk leads to the famous Manjakamiadana Rova - the Queens Palace and landmark of Antananarivo.

Still today Malagasy people pilgrim to this sacred place to pray and speak out wishes. Tsimbazaza, a zoological and botanical garden, is locaded 15 minutes by foot from the guest house.
