Our charming space is wonderful for all types of smaller celebrations such as kids birthday parties or intimate weddings. The venue is multi-purpose with a charming indoor area that opens out onto a veranda that flows into the garden.

    Dineplan and Ground Cafe need to communicate. The team were not ready for our reservation of 8 seated in the garden. Food was phenomenal. Cold under the trees...........maybe consider heaters!

    The venue is exquisite and a great place to go to for a day out away from Joburg. The hikes are well signed and the restaurant is in a relaxing and beautiful setting. It was extremely busy on the weekend and we waited almost two and a half hours to get our food unfortunately. The items ordered were simple and did not require a lot of prep time. Be prepared for a long wait as I dont think the kitchen can cope with such large volumes of tables/traffic. If you are going on a short hike, perhaps consider placing your food order first as it will be ready by the time you get back.
