Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Everyone had different dishes as well as desserts. Loved the atmosphere as we were seated outside, so calm and quiet. The ablutions were neat and tidy. Loved the nougat ??? Dessert by far everyone's favourite."
"Adele and team catered for my Dad’s 90th which he celebrated in frailcare. The effort and detail they put in was amazing and they did it all with minimum comms and exactly as requested-AND so much MORE. The food looked exquisite and tasted absolutely YUMMY. They thought of every aspect and they blew me away with what they did for us and how everything was immaculate and incredibly tasty and unique"
"Honestly.... Amazing does not seem to encapsulate our stay at the Ou Pastorie. We arrived a bit late but were greeted warmly by the night watchman. I think the sound of the frog's harmonious singing in the background should have given us the ambiance. The accommodation was more than elegant, with I have to say a really comfortable and huge bed. The rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated. Garden's are well maintained. The main house witch serves as the restaurant and kitchen gives one that historic feeling and was immaculate. I would really recommend this place again for a breakaway. I found the staff really friendly and helpful from service to general interaction."
"Was passing by and decided to take a quick look. What a little gem, such a peaceful place, it felt like I took a trip back in time. Old pastor house turned into a restaurant, with seating inside with lovely antique chairs and fixtures, or outside in the shady garden, artwork on display all around. I can imagine having a romantic daytime wedding here, and there is a church right nextdoor. Will try the food next time, but overall impression was lovely and nostalgic."
"Restaurant review: Christmas Day was made very special by Dewald, Leandri and staff, so a big thank you from us. Service excellent, food very good (as always - but extra special on this special day!). Festive spirit with all the lovely decorations made our day in the country memorable!"
"Went for lunch on a Thursday. The venue is beautiful but the food was a little underwhelming and the service quite slow for a relatively quiet day."
"Amazing atmosphere, food delicious, perfect location to sit and relax under the trees and enjoy good food"
"A hidden gem, exquisite cuisine, stunningly beautiful setting, very tranquil, and very reasonably priced. Will visist again!"
