A modern architectural master piece in stone, steel and glass designed with retractable floor to ceiling glass doors on three sides, that literally lets the outside in. A long, wide verandah that endows diners with a 180° view of the game filled valley below, uninterrupted Highveld landscape beyond and above that African blue sky.

The restaurant is famous for the great breakfast fare, long lazy lunches, afternoon nibbles, and a fabulous wine list with a handpicked selection from the best South African boutique wine estates or a sumptuous dinner at the end of the day. The food theme is Bush – Bistro, where the kitchen team goes to great lengths to source only the best and freshesed country ingredients to surprise and delight.

Cradle Boutique Hotel and Restaurant is situated in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage site, only 10 minutes drive from Lanseria airport. With its panoramic views and breathtaking scenery, a perfect venue for special occasions.

This popular venue, situated on a 7000 hectares private nature reserve is a piece of heaven closer than you think.

    The meal and setting was excellent! The service was sloth-slow and somewhat "static". It may have been an understaffing issue given the specific time of the year (3 Jan)

    Everything was perfect however you might want to consider taking guests all the way to the car park in the golf cart; especially the older ones and more especially when it's raining. We got dropped at the bottom of the stone stairs and were wet by the time we reached our car.

    For R750 the food was such a disappointment. Not even a single curry/stew on-site or even ice cream. Your putting was hard. I guess that was the beat you could do with the tables,just a runner? My family were disappointed. You should thank the guy who was singing, he made our time enjoyable

    Absolutely enjoyed our time at the restaurant. Thank you so much for the great service. We were served by Katleho - amazing service! We will definitely be coming back. Also the food portions are quite generous and filling. Love it for me. Amazing! Amazing! Also the scenery is so lovely.
