This was a superb experience! It is unfortunately not one that I can repeat too often because the food (which was exceptional) is a bit too pricey for my pocket. But I guess for overseas travellers, this will be nothing. I had one of the best (if not the best) ribs ever, The setting is superb - where else can you dine in the presence of 5 rhinos? This brings me to a minor point of critism - the lawn around the pool could really do with a regular trim, it looks out of place and untidy, specially when you consider the upmarket vibe of the restaurant. Other than this, I would really recommend a visit here.

An amazing experience from start to finish. All the staff are lovely and the guide who took us on the game drive was brilliant and great fun. Did the outback safari the next day and rode an incredible horse called Karoo who looked after me all the way, not for novice riders as faster paced and some steep up and down but if you are a confident rider this is an absolute must, you get very close to the animals on horse back and go cantering past the wilderbeast and zebra it was a dream come true. Again the guide was incredible and very knowledgeable about all the animals and the history.
Food is delicious and the infinity pool looks over the watering hole. I didn't want to leave and will definitely stay for longer next time. Thank you so much for an amazing experience 💛

A nice country road drive to the day visitor restaurant. Lovely setting on a wetland area. Lovely thatch outdoor feel. Good seating indoors and outside. Good personal attention. Service was acceptable. Food quality was good, well plated, however portions are too small. Wine was a little pricey, so too the food, considering the meal sizeoffered. Consider a game drive while you are there.
Had the most wonderful game drive and decided to follow this with lunch at the restaurant here. Ordered a chicken burger that had potato wedges and onion rings on the side. The dessert which was a hybrid malva pudding and milk tart was the star of the show.
While the meal was good overall— the service was a bit disappointing. Upon being seated, I asked whether it would be possible to be seated elsewhere (as the table was tight next to the reception and traffic of people). The hostess gave a disapproving and judgemental look, so we stayed in the same spot. When I asked for ketchup, it was forgotten. Later on, another gentleman nearby helped get the condiments. To order dessert, it was difficult to get the attention of the waiters.
Overall, this was disappointing and very different to the quality of service of Cape Town / South Africa in general that I had experienced so far.

I wish they would serve some more vegetarian menues as we could not really choose but at least they had something and it was good. However, I visited the park to watch the different animals and not to eat them.

We went there with intention of just a quick bite... we end up staying there for a few hours.... relaxing on the deck and having lunch inside.... lookingbover the pond... seeing the elaphants on the riverbank... so peaceful .. Food was excellent.... I want to go again!!!!
Can I give it 7 out of 5?? Wow, what an experience!! From breathtaking views to countless animals. Our game drive was extraordinary & our guide was truly knowledgeable... Can't wait to come back again!!
Mossel Bay is a harbour town, so when we eat out at a new place, we order hake to compare them with the other places that we have been to. Unfortunately their hake was smelly and unappetising. The kids ordered kiddies burgers and they were happy (as kids normally are when they eat!) I won"t be going there again.

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food. Service can be improved upon, but was still good. The area is absolutely breathtaking and the game drive is a must do! Neil is a very knowledgeable guide and made the experience unforgettable!
