Tangaroa Strawberry Farm

At first I was disappointed. The strawberries was hot and invested with worms etc. We picked near and far. A lot of people walked away with buckets of strawberries, but we did not eat much.
We loved the mulberries! It was a highlight for us.
We brought our own picnic and sat in the shade.
We had delicious strawberry milkshakes. We ordered strawberry cheesecake. It was not baked, as I assumed. I should have asked, because I do not like cheese TART at all.
The farm is beautiful and located close to the road. The staff is friendly and helpfull.
There is one small building with two toilets for men and women. Not so nice when you have two small girls and cannot close the door.
It has a rustic vibe. A lot of shade for picnic and a stunning dam!

Tips for next time:
Come end of September as soon as they open for strawberry picking.
Come early! 8h
Dress the kids in older clothes that you wouldn't mind mulberry stains on.
Bring our small camping table for our picnic, as there isn't any tables here offcourse.

Thank you for a wonderful experience in our lovely Africa sun.
Till next time.

Had an awewome time with my daughter there in nature.in strawberry field and.eating mulberries.absolutely loved it

It was a nice relaxing day, it was quite busy the Sunday we went and didn't really find enough strawberries to make the R100 you pay worth it. Our picnic by the water was more enjoyable, the ducks walk around there and it is so peaceful

Went strawberry picking, and it was such a fun experience. You can also bring your own picnic and enjoy the strawberries as much as you want, and go home with a little bucket, really worth it.

If you also want food or refreshments, there is a restaurant. The real strawberry juice and strawberry milkshakes are amazing!

Very bad experience since we had to pay full price while there was no strawberries to pick and they Knew that and still let us go in.
Won't be back and won't recommend.

We were only told that we can't come out with anything the told the lady that sit at the entrance of the fields and the other people were also complaining. I did not see any of your staff go into the fields only the guy who put sprinklers on while we should look for strawberry.

The experience may be a bit on the pricey side, but I found it strangely enjoyable searching the fields for the most beautiful strawberries I could find. And these are by far the best tasting strawberries I have ever tasted.

We visited the restaurant this past Monday (Human Rights Day). We got there around 10: 30 and was greeted by a friendly staff member and scenic views of the gardens. The restaurant was empty. We asked for a table for 2, ordered drinks (2 cokes) and then mains. We ordered chicken livers and their T Bone steak special. Over an hour passed with no delivery or an eta. When the food did arrive, the wrong order was presented, over cooked, tasteless and absolutely horrible! The food was stale, like it had been frozen for months then defrosted and served. The waiter looked confused when I mentioned the food quality.

After this disappointment, I requested the bill. The bill comes however they have 'problem with signal' on their card machine! Bear in mind there was no loadshedding issues in South Africa on this day!
I was told they don't know how long this will take. Someone wrote banking details on a dirty piece of paper which I was given.
I could have easily said I also have 'problem with signal' and not paid.

In my opinion rating out of 10:

Food quality 0
Service 0
Seating 3
Staff 3

Huge disappointment.

The experience may be a bit on the pricey side, but I found it strangely enjoyable searching the fuleds for the most beautiful strawberries I could find. And these are by far the best tasting strawberries I have ever tasted.

The place itself looked a bit rundown no proper direction signs, animals were in cages, then the options are basic, staff were not intrested, the fields themselves looked run down and dry lots of rotting and worm infested fruits, Be sure to pack a sunhat, sunscreen, wear sneakers, and bug spray.tip keep water in the bucket it also doubles to rinsing your hands. Better crops are at the far end of the fields.

The restaurant the staff were delayed and we waited 30mins for just water. The food is overwhelming but not entirely worth it, waffles are the frozen ones and they overload it with the toppings.

Maybe try making fresh waffles less toppings, more simple and tasteful than big and tacky.

Was ok. Insects beaten is to the good ones. Restaurant portions excellent and the waffles? Out of this world.

It's okay, I'm not sure what I was expecting but omg you pay to labour and then pay to take your strawberries home. I think it would be better if the entrance fee included the strawberries you pick.

Like the start of many a horror film the day began as an innocuous trip to the countryside, in this case Tangaroa Strawberry Farm. The garden setting seemed tranquil and having arrived hungry we decided to have lunch first. We ordered fresh strawberry milkshakes (which were great), alongside 3 salads and 1 chicken strips & chips. Simple enough. Alarm bells however began to ring when the serenity of the garden was punctured by arguing & shouting from inside. Then 1hr and 15mins after ordering 3 “okay” salads finally arrived, the chicken however was nowhere to be seen. When asked how much longer it would take, the waitress admitted she didn’t know what was happening in the kitchen? ! Over 1hr 30 after ordering, the chicken strips finally arrived - totally raw? ! The servers were apologetic and said they would get the manager. However the manager was clearly too busy to bother and after a further 15 mins of waiting we asked for the bill. The staff removed the price of the uneaten raw chicken strips and compensated our water (R88) as a gesture of apology/congratulations for dodging the salmonella bullet. Needless to say for such a long wait to then be served food that can only be described as hazardous deserves a one star review at best.

Don’t say you weren’t warned

We had a full spa day at the strawberry farm and it was sooo relaxing. Everyone is very friendly and professional. We will definitely be coming back soon.

The Mothers Day buffet was amazing. Thank you Chef Cuthbert. Loved the cauliflower and broccoli with cheese. Yummy

I love this place, today was our second time having a picnic there. Both times we had different picnic packages and every time the food is outstanding and packed with so much care. The valentines basket was out of this world and they went out of their way to make it special ️ Their service never disappoints and you always feel welcome there. Thank you for making our anniversary special

Unfriendly reception by Kelly, really felt unwelcome, strawberry fields have majority rotten and worm infested strawberries. Not worth the trip. My wife also had to ask if we could go into the farm shop to purchase some products and received a very hesitant and unfriendly yes.my wife entered the shop and had to leave immediately as the dog in the shop started barking at her and frightened both my wife and child.

Recently visited the Strawberry Farm. The lady was so unfriendly to us. Did not make us feel welcome and really didn't care. The Strawberry Farm did not have much nice strawberries most had worms in them. I definitely won't recommend or visit again.

Very nice. Safe and clean.
Small restaurant.

The restaurant menu needs to be expanded a little for a few more vegetarian choices.

My kids loved it. The man giving out buckets has such a nice personality. The Strawberries are organic and you can eat them as you pick. You can enter and leave the farm as much as you'd like throughout the day. They have a little restaurant which makes delicious waffles and milkshakes.

*Your shoes might get super messed so be mindful of that.

The establishment is alright. Might be a disappointment if you been to other farms offering similar experiences. Could be nice for people with small kids.
