    This venu boasts a beautiful garden and serves delicious goats cheese and cows milk cheese to name a few things. We were served by a very friendly, very pregnant young lady and overall we had a lovely relaxing time. This is truly a beautiful peaceful spot for an outing. They even offer a pairing for the youngsters, cookies and different flavours of milk. How cute is this. Do pay them a visit.

    Such a cute farm cheese spot- lovely garden where you can see the veg that they use to season their cheese with - didn't have a chance to do a cheese tasting but we did buy some cheese - feta and halloumi to take home. The garden is really pretty and calming. About 12 kms out of clarens

    Beautiful place, would love to see them add a small petting zoo, kids loved the animals all around but couldn't interact. Cheese is really great, service can definitely improve aswell. Perhaps it was the time of week.

    Not to be missed! Beautiful grounds, super view and delicious food which was farm to plate and super fresh! Friendly service and just a quick trip up the road from Clarens.. The wine and cheese pairing was delicious (The best goats cheese we have ever tasted) as were the toasted sandwiches. The cheesecake, wow, just don’t miss it!!! You can buy all the cheese and wine that you taste as well as the jams etc. The resident doggies were just lovely and our furkids enjoyed the visit and having a play with them. We will definitely visit again!

    Such a delightful little spot just outside of Clarens. The gardens are beautiful and the restaurant is dog-friendly. The cheese and wine tastings are excellent. We also got the Ploughman’s Platter to share and enjoyed the variety. Unfortunately they only had one type of goats cheese available but all the cheeses we tasted were incredible. And of course you need to try the cheesecake! It’s outstanding.

    Food was delicious. Cheesecake was really lovely. Quiet pretty setting. Unfortunately they didn't have the coffee machine ready. Would've been nice to have some in the cold morning.

    Beautiful farm in a beautiful location with absolutely yummy food. Had some delicious breakfast, but the cheese and wine pairing at the table next to us looked even more amazing! Definitely worth a visit 👏

    Beautiful, well-kept farm. Good cheesecake (light and creamy). The onion marmalade they use on their sandwhiches is also delicious. Going to look at some goats now!

    Very peaceful farm vibe and beautiful gardens. They actually harvest from their garden for their restaurant dishes. Food is lovely. Enjoyed the cheese platters, wine tasting, homemade ginger beer and lemonade, and of course the cheesecake! If you like cheese, be sure to add this to your itinerary!

    Just a few minutes outside Clarens is Baris Monger. Lovely quiet setting. We had a glass of wine and enjoyed the tranquility. If you’re driving past may be an idea to pop in.

    Nice coffee but a bit disappointing cheese platter with no butter for the bread. A neglected vegitable, fruit and herb garden to walk through.

  • 4/5 Edward H. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice quiet farm to visit. A stroll through the vegetable and herb garden is a must for the senses. We did a cheese tasting and found it to be delicious. The chevre cheese cake was exquisite and can be recommended.

    Best cheese cake I’ve ever had! Hands down😋 stopped over on way back to Johannesburg. This is a definite must stop over!

  • 5/5 Grace N. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is very beautiful and peaceful with a stunning garden you can walk through. We had the wine and cheese pairing which was amazing as well as the cheesecake (recommended). The staff is friendly and the overall experience was great. Just 10 minutes from Clarens, a must if you like wine and cheese.

    Beautiful setup just outside of Clarens. The cheese platter is a must try along with their wine pairings and the kiddies milk and cookies platter. Also had a cappuccino and koeksuster which was lovely on such a cold day. Could have been a bit more tables indoors instead of just one big table. Had to takeaway some roulade cheese as that one was our favorite from the platter. The scenery is beautiful, pity it was a rainy and cold day.

    This is a must visit when you're staying in Clarens. Absolutely beautiful and the cheese is delicious. Do yourself a favour and have some cheesecake.

    stopped in for an early morning breakfast on the way home from Clarence to Jhb. It was delightful. Delicious cheeses, unique ideas like the flavoured milk tasting for kids- so cute! helpful staff and the cutest dogs. We loved it.

    Beautiful French-style outdoor dining. Had a great cheese and wine tasting, while the kids had a cookies and milkshake tasting.

  • 5/5 Leon S. 2 years ago on Google
    A must if in the Clarens area. Delicious food, good service, amazing cheese and wine all in a beautiful farm style setting. Hard to believe such great tastes are all generated locally from the farm itself.
