A modern architectural master piece in stone, steel and glass designed with retractable floor to ceiling glass doors on three sides, that literally lets the outside in. A long, wide verandah that endows diners with a 180° view of the game filled valley below, uninterrupted Highveld landscape beyond and above that African blue sky.

The restaurant is famous for the great breakfast fare, long lazy lunches, afternoon nibbles, and a fabulous wine list with a handpicked selection from the best South African boutique wine estates or a sumptuous dinner at the end of the day. The food theme is Bush – Bistro, where the kitchen team goes to great lengths to source only the best and freshesed country ingredients to surprise and delight.

Cradle Boutique Hotel and Restaurant is situated in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage site, only 10 minutes drive from Lanseria airport. With its panoramic views and breathtaking scenery, a perfect venue for special occasions.

This popular venue, situated on a 7000 hectares private nature reserve is a piece of heaven closer than you think.
