    This was our 3rd time at the Beach Bar as we love it so much. The band on fathers day was next level. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for the awesome experience and the lekker music.

    The buffet was ice cold - the only almost warm food was the gravy for the pap. Mediocre menu at best

    It's a basic restaurant; the food was adequate, a little disappointing and bland, but good value. It's a nice venue to visit if you have children, offering a great view over a dam - a lovely change from Johannesburg's car parks. The live music was great!

    The pizza ( 3) were a joke, R 130, it was cold, 7 small pieces of ham, 5 thin slices of olve, no articokes at all. It was unbelievable. Never again
