    A beautiful location. It is evident that the whole team at Melfort is lovingly dedicated to their craft, be it on the service or the kitchen side. Excellent and generous food with playful surprises. Do give it a chance.

    We enjoyed a wonderful laid back lunch at this lovely venue. We opted for the Chef's set menu which was excellent. Each course was presented at the table, by the chef who made it. Seasonal, foraged and organic, the produce was beautifully plated and the flavours and textures showcased with skill. We especially enjoyed the chicken broth with crunchy veg. A burst of umami flavour! The philosophy of food as healing, is well showcased in every dish. Service was smart, friendly and you feel the staff's pride in where they are and what they do. A warm, inviting space with a roaring fire on a fresh day, overlooking a stunning lake. Tasmin, Nick and Team, thank you for an excellent experience. We will be back!

    What a truly special experience from start to finish. I had the pleasure of communicating with Tasmin right up until our booking, and she was incredibly helpful in curating a menu that ensured everyone in our group would have something they loved. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail made such a difference. From the moment we arrived, the experience continued to be exceptional. Nick was incredibly accommodating, and our waiters were absolutely superb—attentive, warm and professional throughout. It was a wonderful experience that everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed. We left feeling so well looked after, and we will most certainly be back. Highly recommended!

    We had amazing service from all the staff, and felt very welcome and at ease. Fine dining experience, without feeling hungry at the end. The food quality and preparation was amazing, without feeling overdone and fancy for the sake of it. Left feeling happy and grateful for the experience.

    What an absolutely beautiful experience at Melfort! 🌿✨ We had the most wonderful Women’s Day celebration surrounded by breathtaking views, a beautiful setting and, of course, absolutely amazing food. Every dish was delicious and you could truly taste the care and quality that goes into the ingredients. I especially loved the farm-to-fork concept — fresh, seasonal and thoughtfully sourced ingredients that make the whole dining experience feel so authentic and special. 🌱🍽️ The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the views were spectacular, and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish. Melfort is definitely a little gem in the Stellenbosch Winelands and somewhere I would happily visit again. ❤️ Thank you, Melfort, for making our Women’s Day one to remember! 🥂🌸
