    We chose to have a late lunch of tapas and it was delicious! I have spent a lot of time working in Spain and have had a couple of pleasure trips to different oarts as well, so quite experienced in authentic Soanish Cusine. Rhebokskloof restaurant comes very close to the authentic way of cooking but with a bit of a South African influence. We had the Rhebokskloof range Chenin Blanc which was delicious and a good parong for our choice of tapas plates. The gardens and general presentation were great, well kept and relaxing to eat on the patio under the trees. We went on a Monday and it was mid-afternoon, so not as many people there as can be expected. Weekends are likely to be more buzzy. The only reason I don't give 5 stars for ambiance is that they are developing the facilities on the estate and we could hear the works going on for about half of the time we were there. The management told us that the work only happens on weekdays, so go at a weekend and once in the gardens and restaurant area, you would not know any different....just a great location and great food. Also for families there is plenty of space for picknicks and kids to run around, plus there is a good range of play equipment to keep them occupied. Go and enjoy!
