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 oxtail was not well cooked. It was a bit tough and chewy. But overall experience was good and food was delicious.

    Besides being a gorgeous day on the patio, our food was amazing. The tempura hake was simply delicious! The staff were friendly and accommodating and even sang for my dad. It was such a lovely experience. Highly recommend!

    From the lady at the front desk to the waiter Xolani, to the manager. It was such a beautiful night. Me and my husband were celebrating our 3rd year anniversary and they made it so special. Including the complementary cheese cake desert with the writing "happy anniversary". Every was truly beautiful, the food is affordable and delicious. The drinks are a bit pricey but they make up for it with their beautiful service. Definitely recommend.

    Starter and main course was served at the same time which was not correct.
