Nice location for family and friendsAlot of activities to be done aroundTotal adventure. You can bring the kids to see some animalsThe food however, I didnt enjoy it. It lacked taste but I must say their butternut soup was quiet delicious

Great restaurant right on the Kwelera river in the Areena resort. They have Thursdays pensioner meals at reduced prices. Also Thursday afternoon free tea and cake for the pensioners. Highly recommended.

We went for Sunday lunch buffet. We were not allowed to serve ourselves, due to Covid regulations, this led to very long queues forming. We had no condiments on the tables, so the salt and pepper at the service area was used and thus handled by everyone.......didnt make sense that we all used the same condiments but couldnt serve ourselves. The food itself would have been quite pleasant, if it had even been slightly warm. The long tiresome queuing led to us spending more time standing in the queue than we did eating our lunch. We had no chance to even get to the desserts, as everything was being packed away by the time we got there. The bar was so poorly stocked it barely seems worthwhile employing a barman. No bottles of white wine, no alcohol free beers. These seem pretty basic things to stock in a bar. Very poor overall and not an experience I plan on repeating.

Very nice Sunday buffet, and reasonably priced. Service friendly and accommodating, however, a little slow on service, as maybe a little short of barman to handle the Sunday lunch crowds. Understandably, tasking to hire additional staff for 2 hours though, so will accept.

A peaceful river side restaurant, at which you can sit inside the restaurant or outside of it in the shade of the trees. My family and I came to the restaurant while they were preparing for a large conference, but this didnt diminish the quality of their service nor the food. I personally would recommend the Beer Battered Hake and Chips.
