    Braai style eating with a large central fire going, food was plentiful (we were part of a 20 strong group) and tasty without being exceptional. A good place to stop off en route through the pass

    Great place to visit with great tradisional meals and experience the Swartberg Mountains - do activities such as Walking on the Pass for +- 3km and Mountain-biking for 11km. A real unforgettable day

    Meals were great, prices were reasonable and the portions were enormous. All meals were made to order (so took some time but came out great). Highly recommended as a stop along the Swartbergpas.

    Coming from The Travelling Tortoise via Prince Albert, Swartberg Pass, we where looking for place for a much needed breakfast. At the start\end of the pass did Kobus se gat appeared. First we thought it was closed but after entering we knew our long awaited breakfast will be served here. If your seating is outside, the view of the mountains are awesome. They brought very quickly umbrellas as the sun was quite intense. The food was basic. Time was not an issue, so the longish waiting period, where ingnored. We will visit it again, if we are hungry and in the ficinity.

    You will do yourself a disservice if you don't stop at Kobus se Gat for a meal. We had a mouth wateringly great breakfast with everything fresh and prepared on site. Helpings were generous, tasty and exceptional value for money, and that is before mentioning the friendly and welcoming staff and owner. Make a stop here, and come hungry, you won't be sorry.

    We visited for breakfast at 830am this morning. The staff were welcoming. The service was great and the breakfast was delicious and large. The filtered coffee was very good. We chose to sit outside in the sun which added to our enjoyment. Lovely enbironment.

    2nd visit and this time even more impressed than the first. Great food, fair pricing and such a great location to soak up the Karoo Magic. Looking forward to the next visit.

    The ostrich salad was a perfect and tasty lunch after a sunny trip over the Swartburg Pass. The new waitress was also super helpful, polite, and cheerful.

    We only stopped there for a coffee and beer. But the atmosphere and location is stunning. We were surprised at how big the place was. I will return again for a evening event to see the massive fire pit in operation.

    We ordered 4 Jam roosterbroodtjies for R26 each ... and we purchased WAY TOO LITTLE! My mouth is drooling just typing about them! You have to stop here and buy their food, it's not something you want to miss. They have a vast variety of things to put on your roosterbrood. Service is very friendly, and quick!

    What a great place to just chill and get some fresh air in! With a bonus of good food and friendly staff! The views are breathtaking and so quiet! Definitely will go there again and try some other food! The beef burger on a roosterkoek was great! Filling and great taste! See you again!

    We're enjoying the beautyful self catering accomodation with excelent views of the Swartberg Mountains covered in snow. For lunch we had some awesome kerrie and cheese rooster brood. Unfortunatly the pass was closed due to the snow forming a layer of ice on the road surface and many vehicles geting stuck near the top.

    What a treat you guys are - Thank you Chantelle and Olive(cute doggo) for making it possible to see the first of the Snow on the Swartberge. Topped with some amazing peacan but fudge, honey, cheese boerewors and roosterkoeke!

    Is nice and relaxing. But if you are in a hurry just buy something that you can drink and go. Take a while for them to prepare the food but if you can stay the chicken mayo braaibroodjie is a winner.

    Very good food especially the lamb panini that is a favourite of mine. The café, restaurant and function venue, is set in the Matjiesrivier valley below the Swartberg Pass with stunning views. Virtually all produce is from their own gardens as are the home products for sale.

    Outstanding roosterkoek ever! I choose to eat it plain with butter because the texture and taste is just excellent on its own. I proposed that plain roosterkoek might go well with garlic butter (which is not on the menu). Lovely drive out and beautiful views.
