Dining options at The Fairway Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort are aplenty, but definitely first to be mentioned Balata Restaurant.

Offering a variety of seating arrangements, vibrant décor colours and modern fireplaces, Balata Restaurant is famous for its outstanding buffets. Light business lunches are equally popular, but Balata is certainally known for its exquisite fine dining under the leadership of our Executive Chef D'Arcy Els. Using the freshest produce available, all meals are served with great care and attention to detail.

The Roundabout Bar has cascading views over the golf course and is popular with the golfing fraternity who need to recuperate after a strenuous round of golf, or that drink on the way back home after a long day at the office.

Bar Verve with its trendy ambience is perfect for a first date, a quick get together or just for unwinding after work. A secluded wine cellar hides behind Bar Verve and provides a sophisticated private venue amongst many bottles of hand-picked South African wines.

    Excellence service received from the staff. From the time the bookings were made until the we left, the hotel is neat and clean, the food was great. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to receive a 5 star service. Regards Felicia

    Unfortunately the roast potato, butternut and spinach was cold. Also the lamb and beef was rather chewey. The pork belly was delicious. The salad/starter table was very good.

    The number of waiters makes the service slow. They try to be quick, however since there are tables with 20 people at a time, the smaller tables experience bad service. Please look at getting temporary waiters for Sunday lunch only
