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.

    Perfect place to eat…and we stay at Pezula, so we don‘t have to drive to Knysna for dinner

    Zachary’s has definitely improved significantly since our last few visits. Lovely fresh and warm bread to start. The dip was a bit tasteless . The bread was much tastier with some nice butter ( and much more environmentally friendly if the butter doesn’t come out of a plastic container). The tuna, shrimp and mussel starters were all lovely and came in generous portions. Fillet was well cooked and appreciated. The kingllip slightly overcooked but nice flavor. The chicken poke bowl disappointing as it lacked moist and flavor. An extra bonus was the little complimentary chocolate dessert shot our waitress brought us. All in all a positive surprise and we will definitely be back.
