The staff are extremely friendly and the service was excellent.The manager personally put on a gass heater to make sure that we stayed warm at our table.The waiters regularly check up on you to see if youre still fine.Not to mention that the food is absolutely scrumptious!

The place is always ready to host its visitors. The staff is friendly and would often go out of their way to accommodate the needs of the customer. The meals are a marvel and you choose a variety of tasty meals made with love.

Friendly service and really tasty baked treats. The cappuccino was delicious as well. Love the outdoor area, great for kids. The see-saw always makes me feel like a kid again :)

The beacon,cheese and egg was delicious, however the chicken mayo was to little for the rosters bread could not really taste the chicken mayo :-(

This was my first visit there. From the outside it doesnt seem all that interesting, but I was pleasantly surprised once I entered. One can sit either inside or in the garden, some spots are shady and some less so. We found a nice table under a tree from which we watched birds feeding.We were there merely for a light snack and therefore I cant give a proper food review. We both had a roosterkoek with jam. Fresh, warm and delicious. They have options for vegetarians on their menu (see photos), 3 starter choices, 1 salad, 2 pizzas, 1 pasta, 1 sandwich etc. , and of course, sides.Friendly staff and clean toilets. Personally, I prefer this hidden spot to the overly commercialized Nanaga farm stall further up the road. I hope to be back.

*Local is Lekker is a term used by us residents in Colchester. This quaint little restaurant nestled on the banks of the Sundays River, serves the most delicious food with excellent service and great prices. When visiting Addo Elephant Park, it is a mear 3km from the South gate.

Hi management, Had a nice night planed , for the family, we ordered pizza that was good for the boys, then we got our chedder cheese steak with mushroom sause, and was very dissapoined, it was so small for the price i was paying, and only got 10 chips with it, all extras would be at extra cost, and worst of all !!!!the steak was ice cold, please guys think of your customers and locals, I paid R700 and was not happy at all, and was the only costumer in the resturant!!????might come have a drink at you establishment again but wont eat there again.

Convenient spot just off the N2 at Colchester, turn off to Southern gate for Addo Elephant Park. Small portions so order a starter. We paired a calamari starter with chicken schnitzel and pasta main course which was perfect for two.

Great (fast) service and great steaks for a very reasonable price. Dont let the location behind the gas station fool you: its a hidden gem well worth a visit after a day at the Elephant Park.

Review №45

A cosy informal open restaurant where you can enjoy great food and drink in a holiday oriented atmosphere.The service is friendly and everybody tries their best.The surroundings are not very welcoming at first glance as it is next to the SPAR and the BP garage with a lot of people around outside the restaurant area but once you are inside you can enjoy the hospitality.

Review №46

The service was friendly but the wait for the food was long, with no explanation in a quiet restaurant. The calamari was under done, the toasted sandwich was good but the burger could have had a bit more flavor. The playground is not great and in full sun. I think the fire pit could be great fun at night.

Popped in last night with a group of 4 German guests. Great service and awesome food. Most of us tried the ribs and one pizza was ordered (thin base and HUGE) When a foreign guest gets flashed then you know. Many thx for the experience. Oh, to who ever complained about the added gratuity, this is often a standerd practice when asking for separate bills! Its only 10% and even if you didnt order separate bills, the friendly staff and good food is worth it. Many thanks guys and till next time.

Review №66

Had pizzas there and they werent too bad although it wouldnt kill them to add more toppings to the Veggie pizza or at least have more variety for vegetarians since veggies are cheaper than meat. My parents enjoyed their bacon avo pizza.On the pricey side.My hubby and I have been traveling for 6 months and this is the most expensive pizza we have seen since America. Colcacchio and Something Good is cheaper than the pizza here. The service was very good and our waitress was lovely.

Staff were friendly and waiting time wasnt too bad but there were mistakes with the order. Burgers were decent but could have had a bit more flavour. The margherita pizzas werent great as they had onions and big tomato slices. Overall the pricing is slightly more than should be asked but isnt too unreasonable.

Really not good. Service was extremely slow and frustrating. I ordered the big breakfast. The only thing not burned was the toast and scramble eggs. Bacin, sausage and tomato was burned beyond. We left never to return. Willem, Cape Town.
