When traveling on the N3, i recommend you make a stop here. The restrooms are really clean, the stall has a variety of really good and tasty food items. If traveling with kids, its a definite stop as they have ample space for stretching. They say they have the best pies, but i beg to differ as i found their pie dry and the pepper stake didnt taste like one. however, their croissant game is on point 👌.

They have a lovely prayer facility. Well maintained and in good conditionThey have cleanest toilets in S.AThe toilets are behind the shop.Nice place to stop and have a coffee and have a quick break and stretch your legs, before continuing your journey.They have a hall and garden behind the shopThere is ample parking and seating available

Excellent service. Covid rules adhered. The meal was nice and packaged with love.

Pleasantly surprised. Not a huge selection, but meals were delicious. Service fast and servers friendly. Very clean and tidy. Market corner is a bonus. Loved the decor inside and out. Good value for money.

What a great experience food and all with very friendly service. Will recommend the the breakfast...

With ample parking, efficient fuel station this jewel of a store has an “up” stairs and a “down” stairs and between the two are the super smart and extremely clean bathrooms.The “up” stairs is a “Grab ‘n Go” while the downstairs is fast food and restaurant.Both have massive home made loaves of bread for sale, and the freshest pies you will ever taste, but if all that is too much for you, just try their fresh chicken Mayo sandwiches.

This is a must see. If you are travelling on the N3 this is definitely the stop for you. They claim they have the cleanest toilets in the country and thats a fact. Place has been upgraded well and looks very appealing. Food here, whether it be take away or in the restaurant, is absolutely amazing and resonabily priced. Great stop for the kids to. Staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Plenty of parking for those pulling trailers or caravans. Coffee is also the best here too. Cant miss it signage on the roads very clear.

A must stop if your travelling to or from Durban. Their baked goods are delicious, try their pies. Big loafs of bread. Stunning place to stop to stretch the legs.

Service is great. The bunny chows are by for my favorite and are really really worth the price. Never seen such big bunny chows before. Would definitely recommend ❤️

Lovely place to stop and refuel. They make the most amazing pie in KZN.

Good food and Coffee.Great Durban curry for those who like it spicy

Lovely little stop on the way to the South Coast, with all the usual amenities available. The prices at the restaurant might be a bit high for some people, but the quality is really good. Lots of space for people (and pets) to stretch their legs before the next leg of their trip.

Great setting. Friendly service. Awesome coffee and the best muffins Ive tasted in a long time. Lives up to its reputation of having the cleanest facilities for a rest stop.

Refreshing with something to eat or drink for everyone. When coming from the reef on the way to the seaside or going home from the coast, it is ideally situated

Lovely clean bathrooms and a great shop. The best pies. And a play area for the kids. We love stopping here when we travel.

Food excellent .Rest facilities fantastic

Would have given 5 stars if the Cleanest Toilets in South Africa were actually open to the public. Food is amazing there but having to make another stop to use toilets put extra travel time into our journey. For that reason I wont stop here again.

Very limited food, nice biltong though

The BEST pies!!Clean facilities, lovely little shop with a variety of tasty treats and staple items.

The place itself was absolutely breathtaking, sadly the service wasnt. The ladies were absolutely unfriendly. I tried being friendly, speaking politely, this is the way l am, all we got were one word answers in a rude and arrogant tone.

Lovely atmosphere. great coffee. unfortunately no halaal foods.

I loved the experience at Windmills. Beautiful surroundings, great food and excellent service.

Great pies.. Value for money... Meat instead of pastry and grizzle for a change!

Loved our stop here. The place is clean and staff are courteous. Its definitely our new stop on the N3 from now on.Bathrooms are the cleanest. Excellent for kids and next time we will try the pies and the health juices.We bought the sourdough bread, delicious 😋.

This was our go to on every long distance trip or just a weekend drive. But today was by far the most disappointing! They didnt have almond milk so I asked if I could provide my own and the batista said ok. However, besides using almost half a litre for 1 cup of coffee ... the attitude I recieved when I asked for the foam (1/4 to 1/3 of the cup) to pls be removed and more milk added was shocking! To add to this...the coffee was cold and horrible. What an absolute waste of time & money!

Cleanest toilets, pies to die for, free coffee when filling up your tank, a nice spot to meet friends

We always stop at the Windmill - they have lovely bread. Sadly they get very busy and was sold out on my last visit

They truly have SAs best pies. Theres always more filling then pastry. When you buy a pepper steak you get a pepper steak.

Love this place, a nice place to have a break, eat good food and stretch your legs for adults and kids

Awesome pies. Great coffee..

Excellent coffee ☕and great pies always a pleasure as a stop traveling to and from Durban... the best pit stop on the N3.. well done 👏

Great Stop. Now also has a Muslim prayer facility. A little pricey on their items though. Nevertheless a great convenient stop.

The pepper steak pie is to die for , toilets are clean and a nice open space for your dogs to strch there legs

Ya, awesome chows and good service.. ✌️🤠.. space to walk doggies as well.. its a good stop over while do jhb to dbn..vice versa✌️

Had lunch with my family here today.What a pleasant restaurant, very well organized.Food was superb service outstanding.Beautiful view from there verandah.

Always immaculately clean and welcoming. Fresh coffee is superb here too. Parking for trailers too.

Clean toilets and amazing food. The biltong fantastic a must try.

Love the coffee. The pies are the BEST and the toilets super clean. Excellent place to stop over for a cup of coffee and a pie or croissant.

Best baked bread and always fresh

The best Beef & Gherkin sandwich EVER!!

Always our favourite place to stop. But food not the same anymore and they are very expensive.

Awesome rest stop. Very clean, amazing shop and overall a welcome feeling. Great job to everyone involved. And the Pies are great!

Good environment and friendly stuff! so amazing

I always plan my route to fill up here. Because: frendly staff at the petrol garage. And realy the cleanest toilets and best pies as they advertise. If you think of a garage pie. Dont!This is no garage pie. This is a PIE. My wife usually takes a container with for her leftover. I can only hope she forgets about it. But she never does. You cant forget this Pie.See you guys next weakend on my way to Durban. And the next weekend on the way back. Keep up the service.

The smell of fresh produce, bread, coffee, bilton hmmmmm. You have to stop there and experience it for yourself

Great shopping 🛍experience with variety of biscuits and hot staff in tea 🍵coffee ☕ etc especially as its winter....Conveniently located and very clean and well maintained restrooms

Very nice place. A little bit expensive

An Awesome place to stop over, well organized shop arranged in such a manner to just walk true to avoid crowdingvibside the shop. Some nice homemade goodies to buy here.

Massive pies, some are slightly dry due to huge amount of filling, but its a meal on ots own. Expensive for a pie, but a great buy, one per person is more than enough. Very good quality bakery as wel.Extremely clean bathrooms and general area. Big traditional food eatery area as well. Good filling station to stop at just before that final stretch to the coast, or on the way back to get some padkos for the journey home.

What a pleasant surprise. Hidden gem on N3. A must stop. Best food.

Excellent pies and coffee for the hungry traveller

A nice place to stop and relax during a long trip to the coast... Not much variety of food stuff to choose from... Not everybody wants a pie...

Great environment, shops have a vast variety, cleanest toilets and most importantly its a safe place to take a break.

Very good take-away I time of Covid

Awesome place and all fresh baked

They claim to have South Africas Cleanest Toilets. I barely Could not smell if the Toilet was even a toilet because they are really really clean. The Windmill Country Stop is one of its kind. A well curated Stopover. There is a grab and go store filled with fresh pastries and delectable coffee. Its not just a stopover but a family friendly environment. The Restaurant serves from Coffee, Pizza and Burgers and I must say The Pies are out of this world. Worth a family outing and stop over, Beautiful Beautiful Scenery and Play area for the kids.Not to forget the Cleanest Toilets in South Africa.

It is very good for resting on your way from or to gauteng

Outstanding food and service. Must try the pies👌

Definitely worth stopping at. Delicious food. Safe and clean

Best stop , clean toilets and great coffee

Clean loos, good coffee

I love their sandwiches.... they make a fresh thick slice home made bread which they use... and sell excellent cappuccinos

Beautifull place ...animals are well looked after.

My new stopping point going up country, Got a BP garage and then the shop ,what a lovely shop ,it offers fresh baked products daily, and for every car you can get a free coffee ☕😀, all round friendly and most importantly, Clean toilets 🚻

Really Lovely Stop. Food is Yummy. Dogs enjoyed the break. Kid got to play a bit 👌 would go there after if I lived nearby.

They are definitely not lying about the best pies in SA. Our go to place to stop at each year when going on vacation . Had a magnificent margarita pizza this time with fresh basil, absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Clean toilets, lovely play area for the children and doggos and a very relaxing environment to just stretch your legs after a long drive. 10/10 Chocolate Croissants.

Clean and safe place to stop, eat and buy home made 🥧 as well as super awesome coffee.

The food was great , the service exceptional !

First time I was there. Very surprised, nice big mall with everything you need. From toys to meds. Clean and a nice place to take a break and relax. Will visit again for sure.

Was a great stop for some needed coffee, the queues were quick and the scenery pleasant!

So expencive.No thank you I just go in and out for a chicken mayo sandwitch they want me to pay 39 rand! Not in a lifetime.Yes I know it is locally bread but still.Never would I go there again

Great croissants. Chocolate runs out very fast, literally have to be there when they come out of oven to get one. I wish they would have an all day supply for us travellers. Otherwise one of the best bakeries Ive ever been. Very hard to drive past.

Great coffee! Freshly baked pies and bread. Very clean restrooms.

Always stop here. Love the shop and the restaurant.

Love the family atmosphere. In side and outside. Good food. Excellent vibe. Toilets needs a bit of attention but maybe the holiday traffic.

Highly recommended - clean, convenient, accommodating every kind of traveller! Clean toilets and a superb variety... best of all is their coffee - it beats the M&B up the road by miles!!! Definitely worth the wait, and if you are a decent person looking for a clean restroom - this is your stop! Remember to try their cappuccino and muffins!

Its a beautiful place, I loved it.

Neat and clean, best breeds and pies.

My favorite stop between Dbn and Jhb.Best pies ever

I dread stopping here, there is little variety and most of the food isnt very pleasant. The atmosphere is nice here as well as the concept. But the food is terribly underwhelming.

Used to be my favourite place to stop for the last 10 years, but the staff is so depressed that you would think they are unemployed. Shelves were empty on a Friday late afternoon. They charged R36 for 2 cups of hot water. Dont think Ill stop there again.

The place looks great, but the food and snacks are unbelievable! Definite recommend!

Best Pies in Kzn

Great tasting meals. Cleanest ablution facilities

Pies is not everything especially after a long drive and just 3 choices of pies

Pies are always awesome

Cool chill out spot

It is a good welcoming place with all in place that is necessary

Flippin great

Good foood

The best stop ever!! Pies absolutely superb and toilets clean

Pies were great..would like mutton pies..service is always awesome..toilets are exceptionally clean..thank you

Best pastries anywhere. Unfortunately arrived too late for their nice bread well worth a stop. Clean, outdoor seating and jungle gyms for the kids

Its been hard to put aside the frustration of all the years this place has refused to put price labels on any of their products, despite my regularly telling the staff that is against the SA consumer protection act (to my knowledge, anyways). The manager was always mysteriously unavailable to address the issue. Finally, for reasons Im not sure of, they have started labeling products.Why 5-stars now? The above issue was my only gripe, and theyve sorted it out. Everything else here is run like a well oil machine and its a great stop.

Lovely food. Staff very friendly. You must stop here on your way to Durban

Relaxing, clean and delicious snacks, food, coffee and loads more

Always a good place to stop on my way to Durban. Very clean and the food newer disappoints.

Always stop here on our way to pmb. Cleanest toilets and lekker food🤤❤

When visiting this place first thoughts were, there pies are expensive. Second thought, they might maybe be just the best pie I ever had. This place is always clean and if the thought of visiting an Ultracity is not your idea, visit this place..

Wonderful service and great food
