The Cradle Restaurant at Cradle Boutique Hotel

Fantastic spot out of the city for meal, great views of the reserve and excellent service from the staff. Very welcoming and warm gestures from everyone. Take a walk after your meal through the lovely pathways.

An absolute MUST.
Impeccable service, welcoming.from EVERYONE
Food is a cullinary journey.

Great view. Overpriced, poor service, food is well presented but average tasting. It's the typical scenario of "we have the view so why give good service"

I have not had a meal as good as we had this evening at this great venue. Our food was “ out of this world”. Service was very personal yet of a very professional level. I shall return to try the food made by this souschef who goes by the name of Salt. Our waitron Dianna was of a kindness we seldom experience. Lovely lady!

Just off and enjoy the sight and sounds of Africa, just around the corner of Lanceria. The food is exceptional. Call them and tell them Mark sent you! Do it now, you’ll love it!

Celebrated our anniversary at this fine restaurant and I still have not gotten over our meals, incredible views and wonderful staff! Tucked away in mountainous Muldersdrift, we thoroughly enjoyed our time!

Amazing loved the pork belly, amazing dinning and the place is great. The breakfast was also good.

I went ny to Cradle Restaurant today for dinner for my birthday and the food was absolutely terrible. To make matters worse we waited for over an hour for our food. The food was bland and tasteless. I had been to this restaurant several times before and the food was amazing. I am not sure what went wrong today.

The restaurant is beautiful with great scenery. The food was exceptional. The only let down were the restrooms. The unpleasant smell and look in the restrooms (particularly the urinal) takes away from the beauty experienced in the upstairs area.

Great location with stunning views. The rooms are lovely and also boast great views. Staff are super friendly and energetic. Game rides are excellent despite there being none of the Big 5 we still learnt a lot and enjoyed our long drive. Unfortunately this is where the good news ends. Management needs to take its job more seriously, they are letting the side down. We were there over a long weekend and experienced the following 1) not even golf carts to take residents to and from their rooms (especially at night) 2) unable to get towels or regular service by the pool 3) rooms lacking details on how to reach reception/room service/anything 4) disappointing meals with many shortages (no bagels, no lemons, no pork, no tomato sauce - all of these were on the menu ofcourse) and white wine served at room temperature due to an issue with refrigeration apparently.

The venue is absolutely stunning! You need to make a booking or else be disappointed because it's a popular place to chill.

Terrible and slow service! What a shame as the place has such a beautiful view! Would not go back.

If I didn't have to give one star, I wouldn't. What a stunning venue with absolutely atrocious service levels, and with the rip-off prices to accompany the service. Walked out after an hour, never again, lots of other places in the area.

The view, the heritage and the food. Three great reasons to visit. Spend a lazy afternoon in the Cradle of Humankind surrounded by stunning views across the valley. Great staff and an interesting musuem about the history of the farm. Fascinating to visit. And a beautiful day out.

Absolutely gorgeous views while enjoying scrumptious food. Whether you’re looking for a romantic or family outing around Muldersdrift, this is the place for you. So my favorite

Interesting location in the Cradle of Humankind. Visited the adjacent newly opened Malapa Museum - fascinating! The staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent service and wonderful food. Definitely worth repeat visits!

Fantastic service from Shawn and the other staff, very friendly and helpful. Food is superb. Can't wait to come again

Very interesting food arrangement if you are going with fancy, plain and simple sandwiches are a disappointment. If you are a big eater the portions are generous. Don't arrive on the closing between breakfast and lunch. The quality will be the left overs from breakie.

Otherwise lovely atmosphere and enjoyable hosting.
I won't be in a hurry to be back as the food wasn't to my expectation but, the drinks are ooh lala. I appreciate our waiter making up for the complimentary champagne, he was genuine and sincere.

Beautiful aesthetic but service is extremely slow.
Food consistency takes forever to make. 2 hours and waiting since we've placed our order.

The service we got on Christmas day was bad, we didn't get the dishes we paid for (Christmas lunch) ordered drinks and water we didn't get "surely the waiter forgot us" then boom! Thet over charge us. We argued with the waiter and other waiters got involved luckily we had an email to back us and what's surprising is that the supervisor just passed us while 3 waiters argued with us regarding the bill. Really the service is no longer the same

At first on the 10th of December 2020 I thought maybe it was just that day whereby things ain't going well in the restaurant, but clearly that's not the case the service sucks!
