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.

    This was really something special for the family. The food was outstanding. If it was possible to have tasted everything, we would have! The chairs, so often a bugbear in restaurants, were really comfortable. The waiters were attentive.

    The meals provided between the breaks was not enough, the only rescue was the great lunch. The meal in the morning and the first break need to also include fruits or be an offering which is filling for breakfast. The coffee machines need to be improved as at this price point, filtered coffee is not enough and better machine coffee is required which provides latte’s and more suitable high quality coffee.

    This hotel is honestly real value for money and the staff goes above and beyond expectations. We were really taken care of by Lerato from processing our large group booking and Candy attending to our conferencing needs. The food was delicious shout out to the kitchen staff as well. 💕
