    Second time at Melfort and again great. Nick is a natural host, Babs took very good care of us as our friendly and attentive waiter. The menu on Sunday is fixed so no a a la carte choices. I especially enjoyed the main course with both the lamb shank (very meaty and not fat at all) and the smooth springbok fillet (cooked perfectly) and the tasty side dishes, the chocolate dessert and of course the roosterkoek. The starter and dim sum dish were a bit too 'light' for me taste: it could have used a bit more 'oempf'. The location is one of a kind. If you haven't tried Melfort yet, In would strongly recommend enjoying a lunch here on the beautiful deck.

    What a phenomenal experience. The venue is stunning, the service was incredible, the food blew us away-we did the à la carte menu and everything was delicious and perfect portion size. The Chef went above and beyond to make my birthday one to remember with a delicious desert. The Kids play area is also great, shaded and safe, we didn't have to worry about the kids at all allowing everyone to enjoy their meal. The animal pen was also a great hit with the kids. I would highly recommend Melfort.
