Zachary’s Grill Room – backstory

Keith Stuart, one of the visionary founders of Pezula Private Estate, was not just a pioneer in luxury real estate but also a passionate dog lover. His two faithful companions, Zachary and Noah, were inseparable from his side and together, they embarked on extravagant adventures around the globe, exploring the finest Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury resorts all around the world.
Zachary and Noah’s presence quickly made them celebrities in their own right, earning admiration and affection wherever they went. When Keith established a restaurant and bar at the then Pezula Hotel, it was only natural to honour his beloved pets with names that reflected their importance. Thus, the restaurant was named Zachary’s Grill Room, and the bar was called Noah’s Bar, a tribute to the dogs who had become global sensations.

When Village n Life took over Pezula Hotel, we, as fellow dog lovers, chose to retain these cherished names. However, with our shift from a luxury hotel to a Nature Retreat, we also embraced a new vision for the restaurant. We transitioned from fine dining to a family-friendly dining experience, focusing on sustainability and supporting local.
Our commitment to the environment is at the heart of our operations. We prioritise minimising waste and are dedicated to recycling. Kitchen waste is transformed into Bokashi tea, which nourishes our beautiful grounds and supports our sustainability efforts. We also prioritise supporting local farmers and businesses, the lifeblood of our community.

    Hi Gillian Thank you very much for the support and the feedback. I am truly disappointed to learn that the team did not offer you top of the range service. I assure you that is not the standard that we aspire to, and this will be addressed with the team. I can only hope that you will offer us another opportunity to make this right. Wishing you many happy returns. All the best Reinhardt Saayman Hotel Manager

    Food (steak & chicken) were overcooked. Potatoes undercooked and cold. It looked horrible. Service was poor. Staff didnt seem to care and were busy chatting amongst themselves. Great location, building, facilities etc but should close the restaurant or do it properly. We were excited to try something different but I had to apologise to the family for a poor choice. Never going again.
