It was the best and ONLY place in the Upper Highway where one could have a coffee or meal, surrounded by magnificent gardens. “Temporarily closed” since Covid. When we expect it to reopen, please? Service: 5/5
Great Place to spend some time relaxing and enjoying nature. Recommend.
This was one of the VERY few places in Durban where it felt safe to walk around in the open and enjoy the beauties of the garden. It's incredibly heart-breaking that the gardens refuse to open up to the public.Service: 3/5
Such a great place for a meal and a walk around the gardens. Excellent coffee and desserts too. Try remember to book first as it very popular. Perfect for kids, facilities are good and mostly pram/wheelchair friendly. Polite and happy staff there too. Would highly recommend it if you need an outing.
What an incredible experience. The venue is an ABSOLUTE treasure to the province. The staff were friendly and polite. Had a great time! The food is delicious but I must be biased and say the scones are the best in have had. The art work and sculptures are incredible.
Beautiful experience, it was my aunt's birthday, so we had quite a large table. They managed us perfectly. I had a pizza which was great, and some white wine by the glass -I felt they could have filled the glass a bit more for the price. Walked around the gardens after lunch, they are so stunning. Overall I feel we all had a great time there.
What a stunning, beautiful place. The staff could not be faulted and our lunch was excellent. Would love to experience a weekend there. Well done to all concerned. Our son who had come to visit from Australia for the first time in twenty years was speechless with admiration.
This place is surrounded with beautiful scenery. The big Japanese garden adds a huge touch to the overall feel of this place. The different paths cover enough distance to walk off all the tasty food that you just ate at the restaurant. Would definitely go there again. As a suggestion for the future, I recommend that the owner advertises a bit more. Before a friend told me of the place, I didn't know that it existed.
Lovely place to visit and relax at especially when the weather is hot. The gardens are beautiful to walk around in - not necessary to wear hiking shoes but suggest anything comfortable to walk in. The food and service at the restaurant is great. I had the falafel balls which were delicious. The pizzas are also really good especially if you enjoy a thin crispy base. Definitely worth a visit with friends and family.
The gardens are beautiful, and are lovely to visit. Beautiful sculptures dotted around verdant well-maintained foliage, with lawns for picnics. A small pool for children to splash in although it is quite shallow, and two children grazed themselves during my visit on the pebble floor. Overall, the physical facilities are great. But the food quality has declined: our morning snacks at the restaurant were very expensive, had small quantities, and were not very tasty. This would put me off visiting again.
