Restaurant description

Marie Lombard was born and raised on this 4th generation farm, and has formed a dedicated team from the 4th generation farm workers. They artfully combine Free State farm style cooking with a touch of French flair to produce a variety of meals, among them our buffet breakfast, buffet lunch, freshly baked goods and 6-course gourmet dinner to name a few.

The Colonial Restaurant is situated in the original farmstead with 4 metre high ceilings and wooden floors buildt in 1885 by a German missionary named Saltzmann, and added to by Judge A.J. Smit ( Marie's grandfather). The individual dining rooms all have open fireplaces and original antique furniture, some dating back to the early 1900's. Ambling through the old house you also get to experience the art work lovingly collected by Gerhard & Marie through the years.

Come and relax in our bar and lounge, sip a sherry and watch the fire dance in the hearth before going through to dinner in the winter time. In the summer you can enjoy an al fresco dinner under the ancient grape vines or alternatively on the front veranda overlooking the garden and fountain.

We cater for all types of functions and like to keep it special for your individual requirements. Bookings are essential. Please mention dietary requirements when booking.

The 6-course meal has become our flagship meal, where daily menu changes incorporates a variety of the season's best. Marie and her team's philosphy is that there must be love in the preperation and presentation of food, and is never more evident than with the 6-course meal. The wine cellar may be booked to provide the romantics with a private dining experience.
