This place is simply amazing. The food, view and service were excellent. We could have come here everyday on our holiday it was just so good. Feels like paradise. Also pet friendly which was a bonus. Thanks the great time.

Very nice setting indeed. Food was fine but not exeptional. Staff was friendly but they battled to explain the specials and even the menu.

Good food, service and setting.Absolutely horrendous club music blaring through high pitched speakers. Who ever decided this playlist is a good idea in a nature setting is tone deaf and needs to re-evaluate their life choices.

Didnt eat here but the outdoor bar area is attractive. Service very slow.

Nice location but work in progress makes you feel like you are having lunch on a building site.Besides, the food experience was a disaster. Orders taken wrongly and hours before the food arrived.Snails were soaked in cheese and garlic, the sea food platter was disgusting. Everything overcooked and tasteless. Rubber like mussels, chewy prawns, soggy calamari etc...But the carrot cake was nice !!!Stay away from these items on the menu...

We were the only two people in the restaurant, avo, feta and bacon salad was terrible. No fresh avo, (was given long life avo that comes in a bag) had to ask for feta, large pieces of bacon, mostly ice lettuce and this was R89. Will not be going back.Do not even want to give one star.

Have been there a few times during the year, in holiday season and out, there are always things on their menu that they dont have in stock. Food is overpriced and service is sometimes good and sometimes poor. Very nice setting with relaxed atmosphere. There is great potential.

Very disappointed when we visited Raffia. Its changed alot from a few years ago but unfortunately doesnt seem to have changed for the better, the staff do not seem interested in helping you and As far as the food goes lets just it was edible but not great.

Lovely relaxed environment under huge trees. Unfortunately the service was appalling. We waited for an hour without placing a meal order.

β€œRomantic African Nature experience”:The restaurant has a very special African atmosphere.I am a frequent visitor there taking children of our childrens home out for an outing.They can play in a safe playground, use the swimming pool and take a walk to the beautiful lagoon within the complex.Even a boatride on their raft is possible.The restaurant is very hospitable and offers nice food and is very reasonably priced.If you want to spoil your family in a romantic African nature site absolutely safely and quiet this will be your place to go!
