Very good place to go to relax and take your time eating. Freindly service and plenty to do for the kids. Tractor rides nice touch. @R20 each.

The Van Gaalen trail is awesome. It's clean, safe and the hike is very well marked. A choice of 4 trails of varying distance- 10km, 12km, 17km and another one that I can't remember.
As for the restaurant, the view is worth it. It was very busy when we went on Sunday at lunch time & although there were a lot of well meaning waiters and managers speeding around, it takes a while to get your order. So just sit back with a crisp craft beer (Kroondal - was delicious) & enjoy the view.

Nice place where you can buy and taste some cheeses from Netherlands. Cheeses are done in the farm, and you can see them do it. Quite and peacefully space to eat or just take a coffee. You can get in touch with the farm animals, and seems that exist bike trails to be done.

Lovely gifts, Dutch and German heritage. Stay away from the cheesecake. Leave it to the Americans. Please Germany we beg you.

It's a lovely tranquil place for a Sunday getaway. The restaurant serves good food but service is on point. The beauty of the place is breath-taking. This place doesn't allow your own picnic basket to be brought in, so you're compelled to eat at the restaurant. Dutch cheese is made on the premises and almost everything on the menu contains cheese. They even have times where you can watch the cheese being made.

No cheesecake. Whaaat!? Had some cinnamon ring cake thing instead that was gritty and dry. Bitterly disappointed. Pretty view though and perfect play area for kids. Felt the place was very impersonal. Maybe I just came on the "wrong day. "

We loved the outside atmosphere. BUT the tasting of cheeses was very uncomfortable because the lady was very unfriendly. Although we did bought cheeses.
We then ordered a cheeseplatter from restaurant.the cheeses was dried out and the 3 variety of bread was old and dry. Normally fresh bread is expected with a cheeseplatter.

Excellent setting. Outside seating smokers own area. Mountain bike trails and you can pick up a picnic basket and go out and picnic. Tours during the week through the cheese factory

This place was really cool, we a 12k hike which was nice and shady with a view of the river that flows through, there are multiple routes to follow so your hike can be as long or as short as you would like. There is a little restaurant and a mountain bike trail as well which we will definitely go back to try:)
