Great Coffee, the food is good, I really enjoyed my Prego roll Chips and the Cocktails is refreshing. Lawrence is a friendly, knowledgeable waiter, with a good sense of humor.
Relaxing garden, sparkling blue pool, playground for kids, wooden deck with a thatch roof and large cooling fans overlooking the river and the Kruger National Park. The service was friendly, welcoming and attentive. We had four different meals, calamari with prawns, prego roll, chicken fillet with veggies and a chicken salad. All beautifully plated and delicious. We didn’t want to leave. We saw many different species of birds, Njalas, Impala, Waterbuck, Hippo, Crocodile, Elephant, Rock Monitor and Bushbuck while enjoying our lunch.
The service is extremely good.. We were welcomed by Sbu upon entrance and he was very attentive. We were not rushed to place and order and the food didn't take long to arrive. It was fresh, the right temperature and delicious. The views of the Kruger from the Restaurant are absolutely breathtaking and there's a cool breeze that's very relaxing. I would recommend this place to anyone that's willing to enjoy good food and great views
Slow service but otherwise good food drinks and views… while there we saw elephant at the river and lots of other animals.
We recently had an outstanding dining experience at this restaurant. When the food arrived, it was nothing short of a revelation—fresh, served at just the right temperature, and absolutely delicious. Each bite was a joy for our taste buds. However, what really distinguished this place were the stunning views of the Kruger, which left us in awe. The refreshing breeze that accompanied those breathtaking sights made our meal all the more relaxing and enjoyable. If you're seeking a spot to indulge in not just wonderful cuisine but also magnificent scenery, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It's a hidden gem that perfectly blends excellent food with spectacular views for an unforgettable experience.
