Under Oaks has to be one of the rarest gems in the Western Cape in terms of guesthouses. The accommodation was 5-star - fully kitted with lush, green grass leading up to a beautiful view of the little lake and the Paarl mountains. There is a little Italian restaurant on-site with amazing pizzas and a big open space with a playground for the kids. Do yourself a favour and book in for your next weekend away - you wont be sorry. Will definitely be back.
A scenic farm setting with a view of the mountains near Paarl. Their food is really delicious with a friendly service too. Well worth it to make a visit.
Delicious pizzas, terrific chardonnay and wonderful hospitality.
Wonderful wines and pizza. Had a great time
Great for dining out with good friends and family. Absolutely love their crispy base pizzas!Do yourself a favor and visit here, you wont be disappointed.
Good vibe. Great service
I refer to a previous comment regarding this venue being pet friendly. I can confirm that at NO TIME were we told that Under Oaks wine tasting was NOT pet friendly. In fact, whilst we were still at Rhebokskloof (which is pet friendly and a phenomenal venue) I called ahead to confirm that we could come through for wine tasting with our dogs.Needless to say, upon arrival we were warmly greeted and told that although wine tasting *is* pet friendly the restaurant is indeed not. Which is completely acceptable.I feel that the response from the venue in this review section is, however, NOT acceptable. What an utter disgrace! Especially considering the the VERY large purchase of wines and also the exorbitantly priced wine aerators we purchased. All of which Iβm happy to back for a FULL refund if this incredibly rude owner wishes!
Great pizzas....And child friendly π€.
Excellent food . The best pizzas and paella in Cape Town.
My wife and I had our wedding there. What a beautiful day. Kristen, the in house planner was the best. We had the best wedding ever
Delicious Pizzas!! Stunning venue. Peaceful ambiance!! Well done Carlos and Team!!!
Lovely pasta & piza with good wine !
Friendly service, fantastic pizza (thin based & wood fired) and beautiful view! Well priced. Wheel chair friendly. Lovely lawn for kids to play on.
Beautiful setting, great food and amazing service.
As people of colour our Under Oaks experience fell far short of what seems to be an otherwise fantastic venue for others.We made a reservation for a specific time, but on arrival were informed that our table was doubled booked and we had to wait outside. No one checked on us or enquired if wed like anything in the meantime.Same lady came out and said she needed the outside table where we waited for a wine tasting for tourists, still no effort to resolve the double booking. It was clear she wanted us gone. We left eventually. I returned an hour later to drop someone off, and the table she urgently needed still stood untouched.So Under Oaks seemingly is not for everyone, or maybe some who works there prefers it that way...
Great and beautiful place for a relaxing time with family and friends. The food is also great
Delicious pizza. Efficient and friendly staff. Child friendly with cows, calves and a donkey to pet.
I am not sure how to add to the amenities but this place is not dog friendly. Please can this be added to amenities.
Still the best pizza in town!
Nice place, good fast service, wonderful view and fair pricing - happy experience
Very relaxed visit. Good food.
What a view and the Pizza is absolutely unbelievable. The place is stunning.
Best pizzas in Paarl! Stunning views and friendly staff!
Lovely views, friendly staff, good food and affordable prices. Will be back after restrictions are lifted to enjoy pizza and a glass of wine outside.
Beautiful setting. Excellent pizzas
A favourite venue of ours. Theres a wider menu now, but the pizzas are not as nice as they used to be...
Nice view, excellent pizza
Poor service but was very understaffed on the day. Long waiting times, waiters too busy running around to check on us, most tables had to self serve essentially. My burger wasnt much different than something you get at Wimpy but the pizza was good.
Food: glorious. Wine: excellent. Dessert: superb. Vibe and scenery: trees, hills, beautiful. We LOVED this place!
Best pizza in the district π
We enjoyed the wine tasting with a number of options to choose from, hosted by a very knowledgeable and friendly hostess. We had a delicious and generous meal at the Pizzeria which is child friendly and the outside section is delightfully situated under the trees. Wish we could have stayed longer on this beautiful and very old farm. A destination worth visiting!
We had a lovely afternoon. Perfect setting and kids had a blast. Unfortunately the flies bothered a bit but the food was tasty and staff friendly. Thankfully we booked didnt realize they were so busy. Will hopefully be back soon.
Beautiful surroundings....excellent food
Absolutely excellent service, food and wine.
What a relaxed pizza lunch Under the Oaks.
Great experience
Under Oaks is an amazing restaurant. I have never received poor service and I have never received poor quality food. Their pizza are proper wood fired and thin based. And every single one is super tasty. And with reasonable prices to boot, you could not go wrong with Under Oaks. This is a great place for a Sunday lunch or even just a mid week dinner.
We booked a table for 4 for lunch this past saturday. The service was excellent. The food was served very quickly and the waitress really paid a lot of attention on placing us at the right table. Thank you to her. We loved the brandy pudding. Well done to the chef!! The pizza & pasta was divine.
Lovely location, professional service and good pizza BUT... Could do so much better on quality of the olives - its not like they dont grow in the area.
Happy that they are open again
Best service! Best pizzas & pasta!
Food was good and staff friendly
One of our favourite local spots. Lovely setting; consistently good food and service from great staff. Very good and well-priced wines from the estate.Our only complaints are as follows: the owner never gets up from behind his desk to greet his patrons or inquire about their experience; he only offers one type of pasta (penne) - which for an Italian restaurant is mildly irritating; and the seating offered outside should be more comfortable. We absolutely HATE benches with no backrests! Those were fine in student days.....With regard to this - they also have a very strange policy of not taking bookings for the inside of the restaurant. We often prefer to sit inside in summer, due to the more comfortable seating, or because of bad wind outside.However, they generally wont allow bookings because they prefer to keep the inside seating for those whove booked for outside and need to move in due to bad weather conditions. We have arrived on occasion, on the spur of the moment, when they are full outside, but empty inside - and they have turned us away because of this policy!As a result, we do not go there nearly as often anymore.
One of my best stays ever @ traveling around the world. Location - unbelievable. Wine - gorgeous. Staff - giving me the feeling that I am at home. Id love to stay again! My stay was in Feb 2015
Quite good. Children has freedom to run and play. See cows potbelly pig and horses.
Best pizza in the Paarl-Wellington area. Great views from outside tables under the oaks. Playing area for kids.
Such a peaceful place to have lunch. The pizzas are great. Prices are also affordable. Altogether a perfect outing
Step back into Old South Africa.If youre looking for a wine farm tasting experience where the level of service you receive is seemingly based on the colour of your skin then you will be right at home at Under Oaks, where Caucasian people are tended to for hours tentatively while people of colour are left with melting chocolates in the sweltering heat wondering if theyll ever receive their next paid for glass of wine.
Great experience. Wines were great and the pizza was fantastic. Nice and quiet under the Oaks.
The pizzeria is not the place it used to be ever since the original restaurant owner was worked out during lockdown.
Piazzas was great. View is awesome. Great craft beers. Service was 25 min.
Delightful π
Fantastic place! Great pizza and pasta with a superb view! We are regular customers π
Very good service
A restaurant with many house rules on the first page of the menu. Nothing much in return... The view atleast is great.
Great pizza (especially the gluten free base! So crunchy!) , views and service, but the flies are a serious issue.
Food amazing. Waited to long time to be served, seats could be beter.
Some good wines, great pizzas and an amazing view. Just outside Paarl. Highly recommendable.
Great Food ! Great atmosphere !
Awesome place, great beer selection, good wine, pizza was amazing such a picturesque spot...couple more umbrellas wouldnt harm when not under the trees but such a special place!
Great venue and food
We have a guest house near Under Oaks. We recommend Under Oaks to all because of its location, the wonderful atmosphere, EXCELLENT pizzas and good value for money.
Beautiful setting, good service, food and wine were delicious. Very relaxed atmosphere, great for a lazy afternoon under the trees.
Frech pizzas and pastas, quality service and good vibe . Kinds are also accommodated here . Best place for a family dinner
Did not know of this place till we were invited today, and I was completely blown away! I drove all the way out of Bellville and it was well worth it. The staff os very friendly and assisted our table well and they kept us well informed. The pizza was the highlight of the evening. I have had many pizzas but ill drive all the way out for more of your Pizzas!! Well done Under Oaks
Amazing vibe. Great Pizzas and excellent service πΈπ»

Great tasting pizzas, kitchen did make a buggerup with my order, but it was fixed in no time
Very relaxed, great view, kind service. Been there multiple times and I still enjoy it.
Very nice little spot tucked away in the Stellies region, very good wines!
Child friendly, amazing wines, good affordable pizza, lovely experience.
Visited this establishment during the festive period and was just as impressed as when I first visited a few years ago.The ambience is very casual when you walk in and the seating under the oaks is welcome on a hot summer day.The drinks selection is nice with a good range of beer and other drinks.We started with the focaccia which was delicious and a great start to the meals.Moving on to mains, the dishes were served timeously and were delicious. Everything was well made and had care put into it.The flavours fromthe pizzas was great and I recommend trying any of them.
Great service . Great food. Great vibe.
Great food, great service. Our favourite spot.
