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.

    The breakfast buffet was fabulous. The waitering staff were excellent. There were a couple of containers (such as the jug next to the porridge), that could have been labelled and the poached eggs took a long time to appear, but they were perfect. Each time we asked for anything else it arrived promptly. Some of the food wasn't hot and it would have been nice if the plates were warm. Aside from this, which is purely constructive feedback, I would definitely recommend the restaurant and the buffet breakfast. It is great value for money and there isn't anything missing. Thank you to all the staff for a fantastic birthday brunch.
