    This is the best kept secret of Stellenbosch. Beautiful secluded location on a pond, wonderful hearty country food cooked by a young female chef. Highly recommended!

    What a great place to relax and be served by the friendliest staff doing everything to make patrons happy The bread and tomatoe served ss starters was delicious as were the vegetable dishes Our problem was the meat which was so full of fat and we were really unsure of where the braised beef came from. Will be back but only after we have enquired about the menu for the day BUT the staff were thd best!
