We have just stayed at this lovely property for three nights. We had an amazing time. The house is extremely cosy and very clean. There is everything you need and more. We took our two dogs with us and they had a blast, the garden is safely fenced off and the nearby trails were great for walking them. The house is in a very safe area. Every bedroom has a beautiful view of fields and mountains. Extremely peaceful with just the sound of the birds. We can highly recommend garden route trail house, and we will certainly use again.

Amazing setting, beautiful home, very clean and everything we needed was there. The house was so clean and smelled fresh with a beautiful fragrance. Our dogs loved to be able to run around the house and it made us feel at ease knowing that they are fully fenced in. The hosts are so friendly and helpfull. We cant wait to book a stay here again.

We stayed over this past weekend, it is an amazing house with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including fresh farm milk and eggs. Everything is clean and neat. Location is perfect for a breakaway out of the busy areas, lovely and secluded (Enough to make you think you took a wrong turn on the way there) We did the hike to the rock pools, great adventure, although I would not recommend the hike with small children, as the last bit is a bit tricky and steep. I would recommend going with a higher clearance vehicle as the gravel trail does have some high areas in the centre, but a sedan should make it if you drive carefully and do not mind the odd bump and scratch on the underside. - But definitely take the longer scenic route, as the shorter route requires some 4x4ing. The Bluetooth speaker in the braai area light was a really nice touch.

We had an amazing time. The house has everything you need and more. Zani was very helpful and an excellent hostess. We will definitely be back.

Thank you to Cecil and all involved in inviting us over to experience the garden route trail house what an absolute gem completely off grid just what we needed to get out from the city life, the views are breathtaking and very peaceful, pet and child friendly I highly recommend this amazing get away. Expect us back again !! Thank you 🤝

We rode this trail on a quiet Monday morning and had the whole Park to ourselves. What a great ride! Trails are well kept, signage is good and the terrain is superb. The best flowing downhills you'll ride! The facilities are also top notch, with a great pool to cool off in after your ride and showers/changeroon/bike wash as well as a great coffee/drinks/food all available. A wonderful experience!

Camped for two days and it was amazing, great facilities, hot showers, MASSIVE slices of carrot cake and great coffee after a ride. Would recommend a whole day out or stay over to get as much riding done as possible and great maintained trails. Can't wait to go again soon.

We liked to hike in here. The path was well maintained. But it was crowded and we had to pay a big entrance fee. We like to contribute, but it was overpriced. Robben berg is so much cheaper. And in the george Mountains, it's even free with many more opportunities.

Great experience, fresh air walks with the kids, the trail is beautiful, well seen walk way, slippery parts especially crossing over the streams so definitely need good shoes going on this. Overall the family time spend and nature explored is well worth it. And the waterfall a definite must see.

Very nice accesible walk under the tree canopies. Long sections have a boardwalk. Lovely sightings of birds.

Beautiful forest untouched and unkempt...a bit too unkept.. The benches and walkways looked like it had not been cleaned in weeks

Can’t beat the views!! Windy as hell however we loved it 😻

The place is very well organized. Very beautiful. However, not much activity to do but you can enjoy a good picnic there. Very clean toilet. we did the boat riding, and the most thing that I appreciate is that they were very considering and flexible to our accommodate out request of having a short ride for 40 minutes instead of one hour and half and they gave us a reasonable discounted price. We enjoyed the boat trip very much.

The waterfall area is beautiful, with many large pools perfect for swimming in the heat! The hike concludes with quite a lengthily boardwalk in the trees which is great for spotting birds at eye level and generally getting a nice viewpoint down to the river. The “hike” (more of a walk really) was really easy and I would recommend it to people of all ages and abilities. The only reason it got 4/5 stars is the sheer amount of litter around the waterfall. (More than I could carry back in my small hiking bag)

Wide and long beach with limited parking and a bathroom at one end of the beach. Many access stairs along the kilometers to the street. There is a designated landing area for Paragliders that launch from the Map of Africa hill. Mostly families but be aware of the seeded types looking for an opportunity. No matter where you go, there are always the very poor looking for things....

Wilderness beach front is a secret pocket on the Garden Route, just a tiny cove where surfers ride the same waves on loop, cottages cling to the rocks, and the old rail line watches from above. No big resorts, no fuss, just salt, sun, and fried calamari. A small bay with a big horizon, quietly stealing the show.

Why do we love this beach? He is not like any other. There are great sandy beaches in many places in the world, in Thailand, Mauritius, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and 1,000 other places, but nowhere else. It's a big wonderful huge Indian jacuzzi! You don't need to swim here, you just have to go into the water, and it's not far away, and the rolling waves will create an effect that you won't get anywhere else in the world. Try it yourself and you won't regret anything!

Long beautiful beach for extended walks with stunning views

One of the cleanest beaches you will ever see. We appreciate the security on the beach and the several life guard swimming areas. Definetily a must for anyone visiting the Garden Route.

Everything is clean and well maintained. Disabled and elderly people find it difficult to use toilets. No handls noe wheelchair ramps.

One of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa, kilometers long and beautifully clean. There are several swimming points where life guards are provided during season, current can be strong but the lifeguards choose the safest spots to swim. Leuntjies Klip is the first beach and it's a favorite of locals and visitors, parking can be tough at certain times of year but arrive early and leave before the sun gets too hot. Not a lot of services on the beach so bring your own refreshments. Leuntjies Klip and the main beach near Salinas restaurant provide bathrooms and showers. An incredible beach for an early morning walk it goes on forever.

The shape of land is interesting. You need to pass gravel road at the final section but very easy road. There are not many people here. To me, the place for paragliding was much better. It is just in front of Map of Africa and the view is great! But that site is private property. When I went there, the gate was open. But need to check it

Views are the same as the rest of the places I visited, so is it worth the drive and the time? I would personally say no. There is a lady who is there as an unofficial commentator expecting tips.

Really beautiful sight to enjoy the freedom of picturing the Map of Africa or a crocodile head. Well worth the drive to this viewpoint. And not far from it, paragliding on your own or with an instructor.

Gorgeous views. I couldn’t see the map everyone is talking about, must be my lack of imagination. Nonetheless, absolutely gorgeous views. Fun to watch paragliders take off with beautiful ocean views on the other side of the hill.

Got there around 16:30 as the last people were leaving. Wish we could've stayed longer but there was a dodgy character hanging around that kept approaching us. Despite that, the view is breathtaking. Best advice would be to go in a group.

Stunning views of the forest and mountains. On the other hand, you get the ocean view. Best of both worlds. It's free. However, you drive a bit on gravel road for a few km.

Beautiful views and did paragliding

What a well-rounded Museum, touching on almost all major types of transport. I'm not much of a train enthusiast, but I really found the train displays very fascinating. The classic car section was more up my alley with some really stunning cars on display. There is also a small section covering aviation and maritime transport as well. And best of all....it's Free to enter! Definitely worth a visit.

A hidden gem. It definitely could use little update and some new lights because it's quite dark inside. Still really cool to see all the old trains and cars. There's not many free activities these days so that's a bonus.

Definitely worth a stop and on the main route thru George, much larger than expected and very interesting vehicles focusing on trains however also classic cars and busses.

What an amazing visit! So educational, rich in history. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic indoor exhibits. However, the outdoor exhibits are in a very poor condition due to neglect and a lack of maintenance. Still worth a visit though.

Lots of nostalgia - Definitely worth a visit. The museum is impeccably clean and well maintained.

We spent 4 wonderful days on the farm. The accommodation was excellent. Beautifully appointed cottage. Good quality linen and a very comfortable bed. The food we ate at the Red Shed Restaurant was excellent. There are so many activities to do on the farm. What a pleasure to visit such a well organized and pristine farm. We can't wait to return. An absolute gem!!

We had a lovely time with our two grandsons. Lots of fun things for them to do. The garden is beautiful and the service at the restaurant was very good. The food was good value for money. It is well worth visiting this gorgeous venue.

I attended the berry festival in October and had the best time! Irresistible craft market, the largest hedge maze in Southern hemisphere (was a dream come true) and of course, fresh strawberries and exceptionally yummy food all round. Lots of activities for kids, young and old, albeit the individual ticket prices can add up fast. Ample parking, but unfortunately someone in our party had their car hit-and-run and the parking attendants and organisers were dismissive.

If you ever visit George, you need to visit the Redberry farm. There's so much activities for the kids to do, such as a great Maze trail, train rides, picking strawberries and so much more as well as opportunities for adults to unwind and enjoy themselves too. There's a variety of Restaurant options with their own unique menu's and drinks to choose from

Awesome place to take the kids, pick some strawberries and ride on the mini train and bumper boats. Lots of awesome food options. An On the move office is also quite nice.

We never stayed there,but popped in for some strawberries and visited the shop which had so many nice goodies to purchase! Definitely a place to spend some time. Many things to do for the kids and adults.

Farm where you buy a plastic pot and head to pick strawberries, a kind lady will measure the amount of strawberries where you can wash and eat directly. Gift shop where you can buy clothes or cups. Small area for kids to feed rabbits and hamsters. A restaurant with strawberries dishes. A shop to buy farm products and food. A beautiful place to spend a lovely time.

My heart broke when I saw how terrible the conditions are for all the marine life at this aquarium. The shark tank is unbelievable small, dark and depressing. The guide also admitted that the shark’s mental state has deteriorated because it is actually a bottom feeder but frantically swims at the top of the tank all day long, which is completely abnormal behaviour. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I truly feel like this place should be shut down. Ever since leaving the aquarium I feel disturbed and truly heart sore for the fish that are held captive there for money.

My children and I enjoyed learning about all the water animals. We appreciate people saving animals living in harsh conditions. Please visit and support this gem of a place. They would appreciate your support helping these animals. The more visitors the better they can help and support these water creatures.

Was disappointed with how much this little gem has gotten run down. Most tanks are empty, and those that have fish are in need of some serious TLC. The fake plants and gems thrown in tanks look cheap and nothing what it would look like in real rock pools (educational wise). Needs an urgent makeover. Feel I've wasted money @ R40pp (both children and adults) for a visit that only lasted 15min.

This is a joke. It’s the worst aquarium I’ve ever seen. Waste of money and time. It’s completely unhygienic.

Dissapointing - very limited animals..tour finished in 5min. Octopuss was nice to see - shark was hiding.

Very small and not a big variety marine life. However enjoyed the sharks and experienced friendly service.

A little aquarium... hidden like a starfish in the rocks. You should check it out though. Its affordable and the money goes towards food for the rescue sea creatures.

It’s a beautiful hike. Definitely best to do it at spring low tide. There are plenty rocks to navigate. I wouldn’t suggest doing it barefoot. The rock pools are amazing. The water was crystal clear. One beach is covered with the most gorgeous pebbles. Not suited for young kids.

Beautiful coastal hike along stunning cliffs! Follow the little white bird drawn on the rocks along the path. My partner and I started at the lighthouse in Mosselbay, ended at the pinnacle golf estate club house and took a taxi back. It took us ~3hrs. Apple Watches recorded ~10km. Important: Towards the end of the hike you will have to cross through the golf estate. It’s fenced in but they let hikers pass before 4pm. Make sure to be there on time, otherwise you’ll have to hike back … Make sure to wear appropriate shoes, sunscreen and a hat. Also, keep an eye out for dolphins!

Beautiful hiking trail! Stunning view! Gorgeous cliffs and caves and rocky coast line. Path is not very tough. You can easily hike. Even my 4yrs old daughter hiked with my help.

We did the full 13.5 km starting at Dana Bay. It’s easier to get a taxi from Mossel Bay than to get a taxi to pick you up in Dana Bay, so start your hike in Dana Bay and hike towards Mossel. Do the whole trail or part of it, but don’t miss this hike if you’re in the area. It’s amazing and one of the most beautiful trails in her world!

What an incredible scenery. Really worth the hike. Take enough water. Clearly marked with bird sign. Once you are at the security gate you will enter the golf estate and will sign in. It is 9km all the way to the pinnacle clubhouse if you start at the light house. The trail really got scary at pinnacle point when we had to walk on the edge of the cliff. We also had to duck and dive for the golf balls. Some of the bridges steps are broken and not attended to. We also did not see alot of bird signs while going in the estate. The clubhouse offered ice cold drinks, which was lovely. We got a bolt to take us back to the hotel.

An amazing hiking trail with spectacular views of the wild ocean. It is a 13.5km hike between Mossel Bay point to Dana Bay which takes around 5 hours to complete. There are some climbing and uphill areas with a total elevation gain of 425 meters. The trail was mostly well marked. There are no shade so recommend to do the hike early morning or on cloudy days. Loved the experience and will definitely do it again.

I only did a small part of the hike near the lighthouse which is close to the town and parking lot. It’s a nice trail with cute little rabbit like animals along the trail. There is also a cave at this part of the trail introducing some history. You can also see the zip lining here.

Cape St. Blaize lighthouse is a wonderful place to visit if you're in the Mossel Bay area and you get an instant reward of the excellent views over the ocean, the town and harbour. The drive up to the lighthouse is tricky but not difficult and there are guards to assist you with parking. But the star of the lighthouse is no doubt Marius who is a person with a wonderful energy, passion and enthusiasm for the work he does here looking after the lighthouse and ensuring marine safety around the Cape. He is able to answer questions and conducts every tour, which costs R100 ($5.60) per person, and makes you feel like it's the first time he's done it. You get a free drink at the end of you tour. Also, he customises each tour based on the audience level so that you can understand the content easily. Downstairs you will find Truth Coffee which is a popular eatery for the locals who come to sit and take in the excellent view. It's difficult for wheelchair users to truly get the full experience, but the position of the lighthouse makes it hard to imagine how one could accommodate wheelchair users.

This was a spur-of÷the-moment visit. What a pleasant surprise. The view is fantastic and the restaurant was great. Cappucinos and cake served by friendly, competent staff made the climb (we drove up) really worthwhile.

A lovely experience! We were there this morning with a party of 8 people and a baby for the tour and a drink. The staff was friendly, warm and welcoming, and helped looked after my elderly grandmother when we went up the lighthouse. The man with the frizzy hair is very nice 😄 Would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a view and a sip of something nice. R100 well spent!

Great relaxing and informative visit to this iconic landmark. Started of with great hospitality from the waitress that served us to the very knowledgeable and interesting tour of not only the lighthouse but also general facts about the shipping routes and the role this lighthouse have and am still playing for many, many years.. Thanks for a wonderful day!

After overcoming the stairs and the height, it’s an amazing place to go- beautiful view and the will be on the lighthouse alone with your partner- so no crowding at all. I got a yummy hot chocolate afterwards

We came from far for our honeymoon in Glentana, and decided to visit Mosselbay during the school holiday's on the 9th of October. While there, we wanted to visit the lighthouse... But upon coming there, they said they were closed. (Take note: this was an hour before the closing time; 4pm). We were told to park and walk up to the lighthouse. Upon walking all they way up, we got to the gate... Only to be laughed at by the security and told that we're not allowed there- They were already closed, despite it being 3 pm that day. We were not allowed to buy tickets... Only take a photo. I'm quite dissapointed. We both were looking forward to enjoying the view... 😔

Lovely trail walk. Great nature spot with an absolute breathtaking view from the top.

5/5 Stars - A Must-Visit for History and Art Lovers! The Diaz Museum in Mossel Bay is an absolute gem! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I was particularly captivated by the impressive collection of paintings and the intricately detailed ship models, which truly bring the history of maritime exploration to life. It's a wonderful place to spend a few hours immersing yourself in the rich heritage of the region. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an engaging and informative experience, especially if you appreciate art and historical artifacts!

It was fantastic. Loved the curio shop. The history and the well maintained Aquarium. Overall a wonderful experience after many years. Kids also loved it.

We visited the Bartolomeu Dias Museum in Mossel Bay and really enjoyed it. The grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained, and the exhibits are well presented. We especially loved the shell museum and the life-size replica of Dias’s caravel — both are fascinating and worth seeing. The museum offers a great mix of history and natural beauty, and it’s easy to spend a few relaxing hours exploring. The only small downside was that the ladies’ bathroom didn’t have toilet paper, but otherwise everything was excellent. Definitely worth a stop if you’re travelling the Garden Route — a well-run and interesting museum with lots to see and learn.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this museum. From the outside, it looks quite unassuming, but there’s so much more than meets the eye. Inside, everything is neat, well-maintained, and thoughtfully presented. The maritime museum is packed with fascinating information, and the shell museum was an unexpected highlight—with a fun mix of aquarium exhibits and display cases showcasing an incredible variety of shells. A great experience overall!

The Diaz Museum is situated at Mossel Bay, great collection and very rich in history. If you like the history, this is place you must visit.

Not too badly priced to enter. Very well maintained with an additional aquarium and shell exhibit. Beautiful gardens and very educational. Well worth a visit. Id highly recommend coming here

Enjoyed our visit to the museum! Lots of information available, however feel this a opportunity missed. There are so much more that can be done to make the museum more interactive and maybe add a “show” factor to it. It is a stage screaming for a production and the facilities are there, it should just be made use of! But overall a great visit for history lovers!

Hidden beauty, many zip pass but truly a wonderful short stop. A short walk from the car park to the falls. Facilities includes bathrooms and an information kiosk.

A short stop to enjoy the freshness of the waterfall (although not necessary in winter). Some stairs to climb, but all in all easily accessible. You might want to go in the afternoon, it gets quite cold in the morning and there is not a lot of light as you can see.

Shortest hike to a waterfall ever, the incline isn't too bad. Absolutely beautiful and quiet. I was a solo adventurer and I felt safe! People come to collect fresh water and it's quite a beautiful process

Absolutely beautiful I thought the waterfalls in Mpumalanga were awesome but I was blown away by this waterfall in WC

Beautiful Gem of a place. Lots of parking, and easy to enter from both directions when driving. Ready walk up to the waterfall, climbing of a few stairs. And once at the waterfall it is very slippery. The water is always cold but so refreshing and a must do. Beauty in nature.

Very beautiful and kept so clean. Loved it!

This waterfall is absolutely amazing! Short little hike up some stairs, across, down some stairs. Very safe and well maintained. The bathrooms were spotless and very spacious with flowers and ample soap. The waterfall itself as you can see in the pictures is absolutely breathtaking! I would most certainly go again!

Most beautiful & clean beach in mosselbay! Definitely the best sand😅 water temp is great for a morning swim

A bit cold still, but beautiful, clean and tranquil.

What a lovely beach. The water was warm and waves were actually very big. Lifeguards on duty and the nets are wide and far out enough not to feel cramped in the space. Had a great day. The beach has showers and toilets.

Awesome view of the bay area including some whales & dolphins. Sunrise was the best view of the day! Nice clean beach & has safety nets to keep the swimmers safe. Would definitely want to visit there again!

Toasted sandwiches were tiny, and seriously overpriced! Not pet friendly. We had to order a take away, took ages even though it was early morning and they only had a handful of customers. Think it came with 10 chips,possibly less. Just an all around disappointment for a visitor from Cpt, where you expect to pay more for less. But that's not the case.♡cpt I can see the appeal to Santos in terms of location. It's a pity, we were very excited and hopeful for a good experience.

A very nice beach, not the most idyllic one but it is very nice overall. The sanitary facilities are free and clean, the beach is clean, there are several good places to get food or drinks... Very very good public beach, I would definitely recommend going there when visiting Mosselbaai.

One of the cleanest beaches I've seen in a while. Calm water, not for surfers, but great for small kids. Water was clean and warm. Great little kiosk right there selling snacks, delicious draairoomys (softserve) and takeaway food. The Santos Express is right there for a bigger meals or drinks and so is one of the oldest beach pavilions with great architecture and a restaurant.

The picnic spots. The toilets and the parking areas are all super clean. The views are out of this world, amazing, beautiful and awesome.

Most beautiful, spectacular pass on the N12 between the towns of Beaufort West and De Rust. The pass is a gateway that connects the Little Karoo and the Great Karoo through a gorge with a 25 km road crossing the same river 25 times in the span of the 25 km. Many picnic spot area with toilets. The biggest picnic spot is where the walkway is to a waterfall. Well worth the walk.

How magnificent this piece of our beautiful country is!

The most fascinating geological site in SA! Such rich history as well. Even the fauna and flora full of surprises.

A beautiful place to drive through if you love rock formations, cliffs and waterfalls. Absolutely spectacular. Photographs don’t do it justice.

The waterfall is a must do for families

Magnificent mountains and well maintained road. A road trip you will never forget.

We went there 11 years ago and not much has changed. Tents are still excellent and luxurious. It would have been good to check the aircon before guests arrived as neither were working. The game drive is exceptional. Didn't see much but the guide is a treasure! Giraffes were also great and my grandson loved them. Food was very ordinary. Unfortunately we were there when there was a bike ride and had helicopters at 5am. Should have been informed when we booked as it spoiled what should have been birdsong in the morning

Chandelier Game Lodge, Oudtshoorn- Giraffe Encounter 🦒 What an unforgettable experience! As the golden Oudtshoorn sunrise painted the sky, we sipped perfectly brewed cappuccinos while waiting for the stars of the show - the majestic giraffes. The staff warmly welcomed us, creating an instant home-away-from-home feeling. When the giraffes finally emerged, enticed by fresh branches, pure magic unfolded. Lucky, our gentle giant, eagerly munched on succulent leaves right from our hands! The staff's enthusiasm was contagious - their positive energy and clear communication made everything seamless. Our little baby girl were thrilled with the playground featuring a jungle gym, swings, and even a wooden giraffe to climb. This place perfectly blends wildlife wonder with family fun. Highly recommended!

No words except excellence ! I was there with my boyfriend and we booked a game drive and giraffe experience. Elton gave us the option to take a platter and wine with us on the game drive and we had a beautiful romantic picnic in the middle of the mountains with nothing but silence and nature, it felt as if it was only me and my boyfriend in the world. It was spontaneous and nothing short of amazing. Elton clearly has a passion for his work and his intelligence is incredible the way he talked about the animals and everything they do for these animals is astonishing. Thank you so much Elton for this incredible experience that we will cherish forever.

I would definitely not recommend this establishment - they overcharged me by R900 when I made an online booking and have still not refunded me. They offer game drives but there are almost no animals on the property. They also have two giraffe in an enclosure with no trees and then offer for guests to pay to bottle feed them.

Had a great experience at the game reserve! Our tour with Zene was informative and enjoyable — we learned so much, especially about ostriches. The highlight was definitely feeding the giraffes — such a fun and unforgettable moment. Highly recommend for a family outing or day trip!

We drove out on a Sunday to go view the lovely farms for sale within the Chandelier Game Park: exceptional and ideal for nature-lovers who'd appreciate a view of the Swartberg and living in a game reserve! Gerrie & Okkie were most gracious with their time and information. We also had a meal at the restaurant which was average. We loved that they welcome pets. The giraffe fell in love with my Rosie and it was SO sweet to witness the interaction. Even meeting the resident GREAT Dane was an event! Well worth a visit.

We stayed a night in the cottage which was well appointed, clean and in a wonderful location. Loved everything about it. We chose to have dinner and breakfast included but what a dismal experience. My steak was 20% fat, the veggies bland. The ostrich capacio (sp?) consisted of meat tossed into a basic salad. Aish, send your chefs to basic cooking school please. This is not the way to present this dish. Chocolate mousse tasted like a box pudding. Malva pudding was served with ice cream on the plate which melted by the time we ate it. We arrived at 9am for breakfast with no staff to be seen and lots of people standing around waiting to be helped. We left after a while without eating anything. Considering it's a 4 star lodge it certainly doesn't live up to its stars.

Professionally run, nice landscaping, easy paths and above all, a wonderful guided tour to learn more about the animals. Our guide Jonathan is enthusiastic and friendly. I chose the Leopard encounter and it was very special. Never saw a leopard so close before and she looked very pleased and healthy. Do support this ranch and the good work they do.

Cango Wildlife Ranch, Oudtshoorn What started as a pleasant morning turned into an unforgettable wildlife adventure at Cango Wildlife Ranch. My family and I chose the self-guided tour option, which gave us the perfect pace to truly absorb the breathtaking scenery and immerse ourselves in learning about each fascinating species. Despite it being a quieter day at the ranch, this actually enhanced our experience. The peaceful atmosphere allowed us to connect more deeply with the animals and their stories. The absolute highlight was our lemur encounter – an experience that exceeded all expectations. Our guides were exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly well-prepared. They shared captivating insights about lemur behavior, dietary needs, and the ranch's outstanding commitment to animal welfare and conservation. What impressed me most was witnessing firsthand how well-cared for all the animals are. The dedication to their wellbeing was evident throughout our visit. The ranch is wonderfully family-friendly, offering something for everyone. The kids can enjoy the playground, while the adults appreciated browsing the gift shop and enjoying a delicious meal at one of the two on-site restaurants. Cango Wildlife Ranch delivers an perfect blend of education, conservation, and pure joy. Highly recommended for families seeking a meaningful wildlife experience!

We had a wonderful experience at Cango Wildlife Range. The enclosures are well kept and the staff do their best to make the visitors feel comfortable as well as the animals. A special thank you to our amazing tour guide, Themba!!!

The Cango wildlife ranch is a beautiful place with friendly staff that really provide an extraordinary experience. They not only share the beauty of the animals & nature, but take a pleasant interest in their guests. The tours and Curio shop is prestine and the restaurant has delicious food on the menu. I recommend giving the Ranch a visit as highly. Thank you Cango Wildlife Ranch. Keep up the good work.

The tour was nice,not that wow but ok. Not alot of information on the animals for a adult.On the other side,the kids loved it and they've enjoyed the kids play area.Im my opinion the Ranch are well maintained,clean with no bad smells.Will definitely visit again when my kids are bigger.

Overall great family experience. The staff goes above and beyond to provide a good experience while putting animal welfare first. They also serve as an animal sanctuary so we were happy to spend our money there. Pricing is very affordable anyway. Special shoutout to Jowellen and Matthew who assisted us during the wildlife encounters and were very professional and knowledgeable. Our tour guide Runicka was so sweet and fun. Our kids (8 and 3yo)loved it, definitely would come back. We happily adopted the leopard Nanji.

Cango Wildlife Ranch is an absolute gem and a must-see destination for anyone visiting the area! The experience was nothing short of amazing, with the highlight undoubtedly being the thrilling crocodile cage diving – a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that left us in awe. The service was exceptional throughout, and we received outstanding assistance from a gentleman at the till at Monsoon Restaurant. His warm demeanor and professionalism truly stood out, adding to the overall fantastic experience. Even the car guards were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a positive and safe atmosphere from start to finish. From the breathtaking wildlife encounters to the impeccable service, Cango Wildlife Ranch exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for tourists and locals alike – it’s a destination not to be missed!

Visited with family from overseas, got tickets to enter with no issues, good and knowledgeable guide who was accommodating to both adults and kids. Learned new facts :)

Wonderful experience with knowledgeable local guide! Friendly residents who eat all the grains from your bucket and give you a neck massage in return!

You may learn a lot about these fantastic and a little bit stupid guys here- a neck massage included! Go for a visit- it‘s really nice!

The host was amazing, we had good laughs. She makes you feel welcome. The tour was SLIGHTLY shorter than expected. She can spend little bit more time around the camps for people to take a walk and photos. Otherwise the experience was amazing and feeding the ostriches an absolute blast

I really enjoyed this place.The highlight for me was the tour guide and amazing ostrich panini .The gentleman tour guide was so informative, friendly, people orientated, just overall brilliant.The tour takes around 30-40 minutes and there are not many ostriches on display in the begining, 2 miniature ostriches, 2 emus, 2 big ostriches and 1 in heat. You then walk to the larger enclosure where you can get up close and personal but only one at a time.An ostrich massage is included in your ticket price (Voluntary).You hold a bucket in front of you and the ostriches attempt to eat the food over your shoulder rubbing against your neck.Don't expect calming background music to be playing while you get the massage. You can sense the tour guide loves his job and his explanation of the breeding and reviewing fertile eggs was interesting. You also get an opportunity to stand on an egg.Once you have completed the tour, bought souvenir and had a bite to eat, there is not much else to do.No walking paths and you are not able to walk through on your own.

Worth the stop, great experience with a very energetic and knowledgeable guide.

Due to having guided tours you may need to wait a few minutes before being allowed to enter. However this is well worth it as the guides are very knowledgeable and you get the chance to feed the ostriches, including feeding multiple ones from a bucket and one on its own directly from your hand. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would love to go again in the future.

Fantastic experience. Great tour guide. Lovely place. Clean and well maintained tractors that you ride on. Its a must for a family outing. Also not expensive to visit and enjoy. 100stars for all involved.

★★★★☆ Interesting experience, but expected a bit more It was a nice visit to the Safari Ostrich Farm and definitely interesting to learn about the history of ostriches in South Africa — especially that they originally came from Asia. The tour was informative and well-organized by Samuel and seeing the birds up close was a unique experience. However, I expected a bit more in terms of interactivity or size. Still, worth a stop if you’re in the area and curious about these fascinating animals.

Nice experience. We get a guided tour of the farm in a tractor trailer , while the guide gave us explanations about ostriches. There is a big space where the birds are sitting, a small exchibition and a shop and a restaurant where we ordered ostrich stake. There is a big parking place, in the yard. There is a schedule of groups visits. You can buy food in the shop and feed the ostriches directly from the car.

I became fascinated by ostriches after seeing them on the roadside during a previous trip to Botswana, so when we were driving the Garden Route we made a small detour to visit Safari Ostrich Farm. We went on a tractor tour led by a friendly, outgoing guide who made the experience fun and informative. Afterwards, we got to feed the ostriches and learned more about them. The shop was also really good, with plenty of unique and interesting souvenirs. The manager/owner of the farm was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially when our transport was delayed - something we were very grateful for.

Great place to see, feed and learn all about ostriches. Partly walking partly on the back of a tractor trailor. Knowledgeable staff and well organised tour. But use up your feed ( which you can buy for 5 rand) on the tractor your. The ostriches will come up to you to eat, very messily. Great opportunity for photo or videos up closer. Great information about ostriches which I won't spoil here, but you will be surprised and even amazed. Just could do with a bit more guidance for guests in how and when to use the feed.

Enjoyable and informative tour to Safari Ostrich Farm. Didn't know a lot about Ostrichs but after the guided tractor tour into the paddock and museum with Bronwin we came out knowing a lot more. Make no mistake, Ostrichs are HUGE! Only when they run up to the tractor and tower over you do you get an idea of their size. They are inquisitive birds but feed them at your own risk! I bought a bucket of food for R5 and they came running to eat. Their coordination isnt so great and in their frenzy one bit my thumb (im ok), food went everywhere and another snatched the bucket by the handle and out of the tractor it went. We drove slowly through various paddocks then got out to walk and see emus and ostriches from the safety of behind fences. We finished up in a museum showing various anatomy displays, incubators, leather and feather making processes. Bronwin was great! He had a very easy listening voice and was very knowledgable. There is a large giftshop onsite selling a wide variety of goods including ostrich leather articles, painted eggs, egg lights etc. The cafe onsite has light meals and ostrich biltong for sale. See cafe review for food review.

Excellent tour guide. Tour by tractor driven carts to see different breeds of Ostrich. Then walking tour finishing in incubator house. On site toilets and dining and cafe.

Lovely wine, lovely platters (we shared the ploughman's and the Karusa), lovely setting. Many thanks for fitting us in at short notice on a busy Saturday.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the drinks and the options available for wine tasting. Very affordable, there is a fire place for the cold winter days but they could make their Saturday hours longer.

Stopped into Karusa while in Outdshoorn. The wines, the location, the service was out of this world ! The homemade bread is to live for! Wish we could have stayed the whole afternoon!! Did I mention the homemade bread is to live for!! Baked by the owner. If we come again, can we have the recipe? A must visit for wine and sustenance!!! 5 stars! Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.

It's a nice place to come and relax for a while come taste some gin and taste some wine 🍷 Set in a beautiful landscape 🌆 They offer nice food at reasonable prices. The food and the wine were delicious, also don't forget the home crafted beer 🍻 which was also a win. Definitely will drop back when in the area .

Me and my Wife and Jannie and his Wife went to Karusa for a lunch and enjoy a lovely thin base pitsa it was very good with a wine Tasting and Cheese Board

excellent food with a decent wine collection. great vibe in the daytime.

We had a wonderful time here tasting wine with a yummy ostrich wrap. The wines are good and the setting is beautiful. Make reservations if you plan on visiting on a Saturday. If you are not a wine fan, they even have a craft brewery there. The lager was outstanding. You can’t go wrong with a visit here.

We had a great time on the tour. Our guide shared lots of interesting information about ostrich farming and made sure we were having fun. We also had the chance to feed them and play with baby ostriches. There’s also a restaurant serving ostrich dishes and a nice souvenir shop.

What a great experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greated with welcoming smiles and excellent service. Tour is very interesting - we thought we knew about ostriches but there was so much we learnt! Our guide, Hermes, was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and took the time to ensure everyone got an opportunity to capture unique photos or videos. Easy walking, safe parking, lovely spot to have a drink under the trees before the tour and an interesting gift shop to finish off afterwards. Great value for money - would highly recommend (and not just for international visitors). Thank you so much for an awesome time!

Great farm. Good food and nice tour from the guide Jonathan. Learned a lot about the oistriches.

Beautiful animals , we learn a lot about them Nice experience, highly recommended

Great experience. Jonathan's background explanations were really instructive! Thanks.

As a bird lover it was a very special highlight to get a tour on this beautiful show farm. Jonathan was absolutely amazing and gave us detailed information with a big sense of humor and rare inside information. The tour was well organized and to interact with these big beautiful animals was absolutely fantastic.

If you like ostriches, go there! Samantha was our guide and she was really good in explaining everything and making the tour interactive rather than just talking. Great farm!

Such a cute place for the kids. A lot of activities to choose from at an extra cost. Tables outside was a bit wobbly but that's actually the only reason I cant give 5 stars. Self service at the restaurant works well. Perfect for day visit or quick stop to stretch legs on a long trip.

Lovely 'oasis' in Oudtshoorn. Wouldve loved it more if there were swimming pool for Adults. Food was exceptionally fast, from the time an order was placed to recieving the meal. Kids enjoyed the activities like camel riding, paddle boats, feeding the animals and making use if the slides. Trampolines, and Grounds could use some general maintenance though.

Visited with my kids, because I spent time here as a child, 10-15 years ago. Not much has changed, and not in a good way. The place needs some love, and the food needs some improvement (and real chutney and tomato sauce)

I had an amazing time. The activities got me feeling like a kid again. It was a perfect addition to my birthday weekend. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The camel ride was my favorite. They brought the desert to the Karoo. I will definitely go back soon.

We, a group of 9 people, had brunch at Wilgewandel. The chicken tramezzinis were delicious. Service was quick and efficient. Pleasant view of the dam, birds and camels from the veranda. Thank you.

Visiting the farm for camel rides and bow&arrow shooting. Was definitely a fun experience and ALL the animals are well taken care of

A very beautiful place for kids and adults to enjoy.loved the camel ride a d feeding the animals.its a beautiful place 😍

I would not clasify myself as an adventure person, however we did the adventure tour and I cant stop talking about how amazing this experience was! It was the absolute highlight of our holiday! We did the longest zip line over the ocean also, and this experience dwarfed that! I'd give this a 10/10! I honestly never expected it to be such an amazing experience! Absolutely loved it! If it wasnt for my boy, who persisted and insisted that we go, we would have missed out on this amazing experience! Do note however that you have to book in advance, do it online! They get booked up quickly. at least 1-2 days in advance.. well worth it tho 👌🏻👍🏻

Quick Takeaways 🗺️ Easy to find — well signposted, main-road access, and ample parking 🧭 Guided tours only, with optional adventure upgrade for tighter sections 🎤 Excellent guide (Winfred) — funny, informative, and inclusive 💡 Beautiful lighting and impressive formations 🎶 Would benefit from music in the main cavern to showcase its acoustics 🪜 Comfortable walk — about 1.2 km, manageable stairs, and good headroom 🛍️ Shops on-site — souvenir, sweet, and café options 👍 Highly recommended — suitable for most ages and fitness levels Full Review Visiting the caves is straightforward and well organised. The site is easy to find, clearly signposted, and accessible via main roads with ample parking available. To reach the cave entrance, you walk to the top floor of a multi-storey building, which also houses the on-site shops. I joined the standard guided tour, but for those seeking more adventure, there’s an optional upgrade where you can crawl through smaller spaces and explore deeper sections of the cave network. My guide, Winfred, was funny, engaging, and very knowledgeable. He made sure everyone felt included and never rushed us — allowing plenty of time for photos and timing the route so we didn’t cross paths with other groups. Although not the largest cave system in the world, it’s still very impressive. The lighting creates a great atmosphere, and the formations are beautifully presented. The walk covers about 1.2 km, but it doesn’t feel strenuous. There are some stairs, yet the pace is easy, and even at 6’7” I never had to duck once. The only thing that could make the experience even more memorable would be to play music in the largest cavern — the acoustics are incredible, and it’s easy to imagine how magical it must have sounded when musical performances were held there up until the mid-1990s. After the tour, there’s a souvenir shop, sweet shop, and café on-site — all clean and well run. Overall, this is a well-managed, fascinating, and atmospheric attraction. Highly recommended.

The Cango Caves are truly impressive and very well presented. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and answered all questions. The tour took about 75 minutes and was an easy walk through the cave, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. A fascinating experience – definitely worth a visit!

Cango Caves The Cango Caves are a spectacular underground wonder located near Oudtshoorn in South Africa s Western Cape. These ancient limestone chambers feature impressive stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal formations shaped over millions of years. Visitors can explore the vast halls and tunnels on guided tours that reveal fascinating geological history and cultural legends. The caves are one of South Africa s oldest tourist attractions, offering both adventure and breathtaking natural beauty

Absolutely stunning, great guide who is very knowledgeable and humorous. The tour took about 1 hour 20 minutes in total. They're are some steps but if you take it easy should be manageable by most. If you want more of a challenge and insight the adventure tour would be for you. Highly recommend. Only two photos as don't want to spoil the show

Very interesting tour, conducted by the guide, Crystal. Impressive caves - worth doing if you're in the area. The mountain passes and roads in the vicinity are also fun and scenic to drive. Would also recommend the nearby swartberg pass if you're not a nervous driver!

Amazing cave formation, a great example of limestone cave formation from Precambrian era Klein Karoo limestone with actual formation of taking place starting in the late Cretaceous period from acidic ground water eroding the limestone slowly. Magnificent formations, we did the 90min adventure tour and there were some really tight squeezes. Kids will have a far easier time than adults. Over all a fantastic experience.

We had a lovely experience at Jakkalsvlei absolutely worth the scenic drive out to this farm. We reserved a 1pm seating and arrived early which meant we could enjoy a tasting at the shed. I understand the shed was opened in December which is a lovely treat, you get your tasting glass as a gift for any tasting. We did not opt for a tasting but rather a bottle of their piontage rose which was served on the lake with beautiful views. At the restaurant we did various pairings which was lovely. A stand out was their MCC we ordered a bottle for the table. The hostess was friendly and set up the table for us as our friends were celebrating their anniversary this was a special touch thank you! We enjoyed the food; recommend calamari starter and lamb shank for mains. We also ordered the pork belly and fillet chicken too which was lovely. We had a lovely afternoon! Tip: The bar downstairs only offers drinks per bottle not per glass. We love the tent downstairs, great atmosphere.

Beautiful location surrounded by mountains and fresh air. Several types of wine tasting pairings to choose from, so you could stay all day! Lovely food too and attentive service.

Jakkalsvlei Jakkalsvlei nestled about 50km outside Mosselbay next to the Outeniqua Mountains, Garden Route (Herbertsdale area) Surrounded by vineyards and spectacular views. We enjoyed a variety of wine pairing with exceptional service. The food was tasty, flavorful and delicious. This is a "hidden gem" and should not be missed out upon.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff !! Our waiter Connor was friendly and very helpful with whatever we needed! Worth the drive and worth the money!

Food and wine was excellent. Everything was presented very well from the food to the wine. Attention to every detail is important to them, even remember our wedding anniversary. We will visit them definitely again.

We popped into Jakkalsvlei on a rainy 1 November without a booking and were welcomed so warmly by the friendly staff and a cozy kaggelvuur! The restaurant was packed, but we were happy to sit at the wine tasting bar where Riaan looked after us. He was absolutely fantastic — funny, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about the wines, the Jakkalsvlei farm, and the Mossel Bay area. He really made our wine tasting memorable and gave us such a great Jakkalsvlei experience! The tasting options are excellent, the wines are superb, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. The drive to the farm is also beautiful. We’ll definitely be back soon! 🍷

Winter 2019, some snow. This was naturally an experience getting to the Pass as this is a bit 'off track' compared to regular touristic points of interest. A 4x4 is recommended if you don't want to scratch the undersides of your car. The Swartberg Pass is a mandatory visit. There are many walking tracks up there. Although keep in mind, it gets cold and windy in winter, and the road might be closed.

We did it! We were blessed with a clear blue sky on a 10-Sep-25 morning, driving Northbound from Oudtshoorn. The ride was a Toyota Starlet Cross Manual with three people and all our luggage onboard. It didn't even struggle. Traffic was light, only met with four passing vehicles. The gravel road was wide enough for two cars to pass at ease. We made five stops which provided some parking spaces. I have marked the GPS below: -1st Viewpoint: -33.362456, 22.077104 -2nd Viewpoint: Skelmdraai -33.363694, 22.065356 -3rd Viewpoint: -33.358598, 22.054221 -4th Viewpoint: Die Top -33.35215, 22.04618 -5th Viewpoint: Teeberg -33.328908, 22.043043 Just be on the lookout at every turn. You will enjoy it. Stay safe! GC Singapore

Fantastic view from top. Breath taking bottom canyon. Really worth it though ot is NOT always an easy drive. I saw a cobra on the side of the road. Beware.

Very nice views, you can do it with a small car Corolla similar but it is more enjoyable if you have a SUV

Loved the self drive...stunning fynbos and views. Close to nature and the road in good condition...loved it!!

This road is a wonderful example of South Africa’s spectacular mountain passes, an inspiring engineering feat offering incredible sweeping views, hair-raising blind curves and stop drop offs. It is passable in a sedan if you drive slowly; we had no trouble at all on this gravel road in our little Suzuki Swift.

We actually loved and hated this pass. Apparently there's a sticker one can get that reads "I survived the Swartberg Pass!". We came into the pass from the Oudtshoorn side which leads one directly up the treacherous narrow single lane dirt (graded) road "Die Top" at over 1500m. Relief! It makes one reflect and wonder about ones life and eternity! We didn't know about this part as we'd only seen photos and videos of the other side... The really picturesque jaw-dropping side. Nobody mentioned anything about "the other side" !! Well I think it's cured us of the novelty of needing to explore passes. We will do our homework better in future for 2 wheel drives. After finally reaching Die Top, the steep decent was welcome although somewhat nerve wrecking still, until we got nearer the bottom of the pass on the Prince Albert side. It is phenomenally beautiful with majestic mountains and ragged gnarled and layered rock outcrops in many different hues of reds, oranges and browns, all around one, as one slowly winds through. One cannot hurry this wonder... Take it slow and enjoy every awesome view, at every turn and bend...📸

Best local dairy I’ve been to in SA! the cheese 🧀 is just beyond amazing, the fresh milks and salami’s is just amazing! really if your in Prince Albert or driving threw you need to stop here for their local produce!! Also love the idea of locals making these knitted animals and being sold at the dairy for their own profits just a lovely way to give back to your community!

It is a nice experience. The lady that did the cheese tasting knows her stuff. And you can buy all the products, what they produce on the farm at the deli.

A family dairy business in Prince Albert. We were offered a cheese tasting. Such lovely service. Thank you Clive. The cheese was delicious. Especially the milder ones like the mozzarella and the Royal Mild. Lovely artisanal bits on offer like dish clothes, soaps and stuffed toys. Just beware that the milk and dairy products are unpasteurized.

I can never visit Orince Albert without stopping at Gay's. They make the best black cherry drinking yoghurt money can buy, and their cheeses are superb! The little shop sells locally produced fare, including freshly baked sourdough bread. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. Don't visit Prince Albert without stopping off here!

Incredible cheeses and lemon ice cream. Good wine selection too.

Cheeses galore, Royal Cumin our favourite. Prepared meals, rusk, jams, droë wors, pepack meat, yogurt and many more. A must visit.

Small quaint factory shop. We expected a small tasting room of sorts to sit down. We left with a few well priced lovely cheeses and olives. BEWARE the entrance and exit is the same one way road.

We arrived on a busy night. Upon recommendation from the manager at our guest house, we decided to give the dog-friendly AND wheelchair-accessible Chefs Cafe a try. They were incredibly busy, but luckily we had already booked a table. However there was no one on hand to show us to our table The highlight for the evening was meeting Chef Kenton, who was in charge of making the gourmet pizzas - which were flying out of the clay oven! He took the time to explain to me exactly how he made the pizzas, and it's done so amazingly. However, I did not have the pizza. I had the steak. What made the steak special was their spekboom & pickled radish salsa. Spekboom is otherwise called “pork bush” and is indigenous to South Africa. The salsa was incredible - really absolutely delicious! So, if for no other reason, visit Chefs Cafe to try the spekboom and salsa alone! *Note: Apparently their gardens are also spectacular. We went at night, but we saw a few

We had a short getaway in Prince Albert and decided to book a dinner at the Chef's Cafe for our 2nd night, with a great expectation from the good reviews on the net. It was loadshedding time when we arrived. We ordered small pizza as a starter, which was great. Then we quite dissapointed on the main course, lamb sosatie. It was burnt and tough..I could not finished it as I was tired of chewing the tough lamb. Or maybe it was a mutton instead of lamb? Even the apricot also got burnt, my first thought maybe abit too much of reduction sauce that caused the burnt? The electricity was back on when we'd like to order the dessert, Tiramisu..and I was not quite sure the combination of cardamon onto it. To me, the cardamon took over the taste of how the tiramisu supposed to be. The waiter who served us (sorry I forgot her name) also need a bit of briefing as she was going to take my plate when I was still busy chewing my lamb without asking me. You can actually see from my fork and knife position that I have not finish eating.. she did apologize though. And she also asked if she could take our water glasses away while the water bottle still half full. Apart from the meal, the place is beautiful, we love it, its just this first time experience wasn't our luck.

Nice staff, great food. Highly recommend the Boere Dim Sum and Pizza! Service might be a bit understaffed, but they were all over it.

The best pizza in the country ! The Ottolenghi is literally heavenly! And one of the most superior restaurant experiences ever … from the decor, to the service (Chandre), to chatting with the owners, to the setting, to the food and the wine! Cannot recommend this delicious place highly enough!

Had a great meal here. Boerewors dim sum starters where a treat and pasta was top notch. The Lei Water Ale is worth a try. Lovely setting and friendly and attentive staff.

Superb! We cannot rate African Relish highly enough. A jewel in the rustic Karoo town of Prins Albert, you'll be transported to newly conquered taste-terrority and culinary bliss. We spent three wonderful days cooking, tasting and exploring the bounty the area has to offer. The owners, staff and chef's team have conjured a very special Oasis of service excellence, creative cooking and authentic hospitality that will make leaving a heart-break affair! We cannot wait to return. Our heartfelt thanks and congratulations at everyone at African Relish who've made our stay and experience so memorable.

The best pizza in town. Don't get me started on the rest of the goodies. This is a must eat at venue in Prince Albert. What a place

O for Olive is a gem just 6km out of town, offering a delightful experience for olive lovers. The restaurant area is charming, surrounded by beautiful greenery. The variety of olives available is impressive and caters to every taste. We purchased olive dressing, Italian Black Olives, and garlic-stuffed olives. One of the highlights is the opportunity to taste different olives before making a purchase, which makes the decision both enjoyable and challenging due to the wide variety. The staff is very helpful and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. Attached are some images from our visit that showcase the lovely surroundings and the variety of products available.

A delightful place for a relaxed lunch. I was there on a quiet day, though I suppose the relaxing ambience might have been missing if there had been lots of people laughing and talking. As it was I had the pleasure of hearing birdsong. I ordered the small platter which was a great choice and allowed me to sample various products from the estate, including olive marmalade, which was far more delectable than I expected it to be! The colourful garden with it's water features was also charming, and after my meal I enjoyed some retail therapy in the deli. The perfect start to my visit to Prince Albert!

An absolute must-visit experience! The Olive tasting was interesting & educational & Stephanie did a stellar job. On recommendation from our server Hilary, we ordered the Platter for 2 and was absolutely delighted. I was simply delicious! She prepared a cosy little table in the garden for us & it was an afternoon well-spent & indeed memorable.

Great pizza amazing olives 🫒 relaxed and beautiful setting

Would really recommend. Not far out of Prince Albert. Beautiful farm and café, tasty olive products for sale. Very friendly service and owners. We had the medium snack platter - it was delicious and there were many other menu items we would like to try. We could sit outside with our dog which was really appreciated.

What a wonderful, little hidden place off the beaten track just outside of Prince Albert, right off the R407! The ambiance is relaxed, friendly and the cheese/olive platters they serve, amongst a large variety of other good stuff, is a very tasty lunch with a variety of olives, tapenades, olive chutney, cheese and olive bread. And, there is a woodoven where they make their own pizzas. Go discover this charming little place!

What a lovely place to have lunch, out in the Karoo with a view! Good meal in the bargain.

Atmosphere and position great. Best of them there. Wines are personal tastes, but for everyone something. Restaurant nicely situated under vines. They have to prepare a better dough for roosterkoek - tough and not eatible. Even the knife could not cut it

Good wine tasting venue. The restaurant is separate and has a very good menu.

Very beautiful and calm place between the grape yards and under them. Service was excellent from the waiter. Food did took a bit long to be served, but the wait was worth it.

Great breakfast followed by a wine tasting. Really good wines at a reasonable price. One of my favourites was the De Krans Muscat Blanc. Highly recommended for a visit.

Great wines! Tasting was perfect and the hosts are very profesional.

2019 Lovely restaurant and wine tasting in the Klein Karoo. Worth a visit on a hot summers day with a glass of chilled local wine. We ordered a Kimchi beef burger, Kimchi Chicken burger and Pulled Pork on a roosterkoek. Yum!

Award-winning port wines, friendly host, free tasting, lots of other wine varieties and good prices. Now also has a small restaurant overlooking vineyards. Seating available inside or outside. Short menu with tasty food served in generous portions at reasonable prices. Friendly table waiting. The indoor seating has air conditioning which is recommended for hot Summer days.

Lovely place for morning coffee and cake (I’m sure the rest of the menu is great but didn’t have a chance to try more). Penny’s welcome is warm and reflects Karoo hospitality! The small gallery of mostly local artists is lovely too - walked away with a beautiful oil landscape!!

Small art gallery and light meals. Menu also has five different cakes for cake lovers. I enjoyed the home-made lemonade drink with a piece of date-and-coconut cake. Friendly service.

Such a lovely place and Penny is so friendly. The iced coffee (affogato-ish) was nice and the almond and apricot cake was AMAZING!

Lovely little gallery & café!

A beautiful place with excellent wine tasting! The lady staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend a visit — it’s truly worth it!

We ordered wine from Boplaas 2 days ago and they just dropped it now. Wow wow wow. They helped me with an add on to my order and it was so easy. The staff who helped me was friendly and the service was great. Thank you so much.

We were travelling on Route 62 and on the spur of the moment decided to pop into Boplaas to buy some of their port. Then it became a wine tasting and we really enjoyed it. On a sweltering summer day, it was lovely to relax in the cool tasting room for an hour. Friendly service and we would definitely recommend a visit here.

Nice place to visit for a tasting, their port style wine are more worth it than their still wine in my opinion. My favourite from the one we tried was the Colheita 2007

So great to be back after 6 months, Ray you are an absolute star, your service and wine recommendations was above and beyond. Looking forward to drinking my new choice Bobbejaanberg Sauvignon blanc 👍

Free tasting, knowledgeable friendly host. Massive range of wines to taste and buy at good prices. Now also has a restaurant that is open every day, pizzas, bobotie, pies, snack platters overlooking vineyards. A must visit in Calitzdorp.

hidden gem 💎 of the Klein Karoo? It's an amazing place that offers a fantastic variety of experiences, from gin tasting to wine tasting. One of the things that really sets this place apart is the friendly staff. They're so welcoming and knowledgeable, and they go above and beyond to provide you with all the information you need. Whether you're into gin or wine, they'll take the time to explain all the different pairings and answer any questions you might have. So if you're looking for a fun and sociable time, this place is definitely worth checking out.
