Our waiter, Andile, was exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and had fantastic recommendations from the extensive wine list and menu. I opted for a passion fruit and vanilla mojito, which was so delicious that I could have kept drinking it. The starter, the main course, and the dessert were all divine—I can still taste them! We were three friends who love to enjoy life, and we shared and savored all these delightful dishes together. I definitely plan to return, and I've also been recommended to try Cradle Moon next time. This place, with its good food and personal service, truly deserves a 5-star rating!

The setting is stunning, with a spacious, gorgeous view that adds to the charm. It’s a wonderful escape from Joburg—peaceful and refreshing. I highly recommend sitting on the verandah, where you can watch warthogs and baboons playing near the waterhole. The restaurant also features a lovely lawn area for kids to enjoy, making it a very family-friendly, relaxed, and beautiful spot. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a great vibe and friendly staff. For those with mobility challenges or special needs, golf carts are available to transport guests from the parking area to the entrance. If you’re planning a visit, I suggest booking ahead for weekends or public holidays. This New Year's Day lunch was so memorable that I’d love to repeat the experience. My only regret? Not bringing binoculars to get an even closer look at the wildlife while sitting on the deck. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: R 350–400 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The service was okay but it appeared to be understaffed. We did have a lovely time and would certainly go back just for the lovely scenery and to be out of the city.
