We had a lovely afternoon with excellent food and wine. The lavender was beautiful and the rural setting with the resident ponies and goat helped us to unwind. The hostess was very helpful and humorous. What a nice outing away from crowds

The BEST curry I have ever eaten! For wine lovers you will be excited by the finesse of the range. Great service and outstanding hosts. The restaurant/winery is set in unique surroundings. All produce from the farm combined with a selection of herbs and spices from distinguished suppliers. Not to be missed.

Horrible service.Waiting a very long time to get a table with waiters ignoring me. Asked one for a table and she disappeared.Then another one helped people that came in after me while I am still standing waiting for a table. Very unorganised and bad service.

The restaurant is rich in the vibes it radiates and the waitrons contribute to a memorable occasion by being attentive to ones needs throughout the meal. The mutton curry is absolutely delicious - the best Ive ever had, so much so, that Ive not considered to sample any of the other dishes on the menu during my three visits.Mr Owner, you have magic going here, heres saluting you!

It was the not a good visit of this place. Why? Ordered meals came after 55 minutes from order, the starter was ready after the mains, with proposal to take it away.They lost today at least 6 customers. Me and my friends.

Review №31

Owner with a serious attitude. Overcharging the guests but blaming it on wrongly placed order. Tip 1: Compare the prices on your menu with the prices on your till. Tip 2: Its not automatically the guests fault when things go wrong.

This is wonderful place to stop with kids for a meal, craft beer and house wine. Great play area for kids. Food is mediocre, though, and they didnt have pizzas available the day we visited, unfortunately, because those looked amazing.

A great place with a wonderful ambiance. Well-known for their curry. The barbequed meat though was not well prepared and tasted horrible. The service is rather slow when they are busy.

The reason for my rating is because I spent very little time here. I can tell you though that you can buy dried and fresh proteas here. You can also have lunch here.

Review №74

We have waited almost 2 hours for our Food, a few Pizzas and Mutton Currys, not worth the wait as food was below average (except the salad), and no apologies, or gestures of goodwill either for the long wait! The only replay we got a few times was: Food is on its way! Not a pleasant experience if you are with hungry kids!

Currently under upgrade/construction but its operating. Kids playground is being built. Should be done by Christmas.There is a peering zoo which is lovely but watch out for the roosters. Pony rides also available. burger is great and large portion. Mussel starters are tiny and could be better cooked.Coffee is barista quality.Great and attentive service compensates for the slowish kitchen.Ample parking, cosy looks. Small nursery with lovely fynbos bouquets.Well worth a visit.
