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.

    All was great but we were not happy as our Waiter had a blister on his lips and this is highly contagious 😷. We however felt bad to complain but we were highly uncomfortable. Lovely ambience and all was great 👌👌
