Housed in a 1903 restored train shunting shed, the restaurant is a welcome stop for lunch. The original floors and chairs resurrected from the train graveyard give a lovely old fashioned ambience.

The pizza is famous around the region with locals – there are many to choose from even a breakfast pizza! I tried the blue cheese and caramelised onion pizza which was awesome! The pizzas take a while to prepare but since they are made from scratch including freshly chopped toppings and rolled bases, they are worth waiting for. This is also the place for delicious ribs and steak. We had nothing to do the entire afternoon except relax, drink the local wines and eat – and this is the right place for that.

The slow down ethos pervades here, and a good glass of red should be taken along with the view over the Botrivier valley. For kids there are delicious milkshakes – there is even bubblegum flavour!

Every Thursday night is quiz night and this is a fun way to integrate with the locals.
The railway tracks stop just outside and they are in discussions with Transnet to turn this into a destination. Watch this space!

Nearby are the bookshop, coffee shop, antique store and railway museum – making this an all round fun family outing.

(They are not open on Monday and Tuesday.)
