Come and relax with family and friends and enjoy mouth-watering food at Mariella’s overlooking the beautiful rolling hills of the Swartland. Your children can play on the lawn and jungle gym while you sit back and unwind on the deck. The menu, prepared by Head Chef Jacqueline Neethling, is simple and unpretentious, yet sophisticated, and offers both lunch and dinner.

Chef Jacqueline’s passion for culinary arts started with her stay-at-home mom who’d come up with the most mouthwatering flavors and aromas, making every meal unique. Helping out in her mom’s veg and herb garden made her fall in love with the process of harvesting and cooking with the freshest ingredients. She firmly believes that a wise choice of spices and herbs are critical complimentary accessories to any winning dish. Jacqueline’s career in culinary arts followed a journey among wine estates in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek before she joined Mariella’s as Head Chef in July 2024.

    Only issue we had, was that our side came after our main course.

    Great food with an awesome view, slightly off the beaten track and a short sand road trip but well worth it - Will definitely go back

    PS, I know this is a restaurant review - We did you bike trails too - Some of the markings have fallen off so spent quite a while getting lost perhaps to match the fantastic quality of your restaurant you could look at getting that side of the offering match what is a world class Mariella offering,

    A perfect lunch in a perfect setting. I had forgotten just how good and relaxing Mariella's is. No music blearing - just a wonderful ambience with great service. And as a bonus the chairs are super comfortable.
