Reviewed By Helen F - Cape Town, South Africa

Haenertsburg is a tiny town in the misty Mountains of the Magoebaskloof. We recently spent a delightful couple of days there and Minki's Coffee Shop and Deli was a great find.
They have a great breakfast menu and the stunning coffee is served in jug-sized mugs. We bought a packet of their ground beans to take with us on the rest of our holiday. We also bought some other bottled relishes and goodies they had on sale. We also visited in the afternoon and enjoyed their delicious carrot cake. This is definitely a place to visit if you find yourself in Haenertsburg,

Reviewed By sarahtheblue - Johannesburg, South Africa

We went here on the June 16t Youth Day holiday. The service wasnt very excellent.
There are NO cappuccinos on the menu. The food was average. Granted it was early in the morning. I'm sure this place comes alive during the evenings and afternoons, there aren't many watering holes in Haenertsberg but this was a nice place to grab a quick bite to eat and have a drink.
The locals are regulars here so having a chat with them will give you an idea of what life is like in this tiny little town nestled between the Mountains. You should definitely visit this place.

The Pot n' Plow

Reviewed By Brendan H - Pretoria

The atmosphere is very relaxed and you don't have to wait long for very tasty pizzas. They are offered in three different sizes and the select is large enough. One can also swap out items you would rather not eat. We were made to feel very welcome sitting at a peaceful table in the garden with our two puppies.

Lekwar Restaurant

Reviewed By Jessica G

This lovely Restaurant was opened by a gentleman with the name Horst. He used to be the previous General manager of Magoebaskloof Hotel. It has since been sold to new owners. The food, the staff and the overall value for money experience remains the same. Definitely recommend this Restaurant!

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was good. It was a pleasant surprise. There was an unacceptable noise of a worker, but that was addressed professionally.

Mountain Cafe

Reviewed By Brendan H - Pretoria

The location of this restaurant on a working blueberry farm is enhanced by great views that are best enjoyed from the verandah. We were once again made to feel so welcome and our two Beagles were made to feel like guests too, with a water bowl being brought for them. Our Henry could enjoy the happenings of the working farm while we enjoyed the food celebration! The menu changes on a weekly basis but we are yet to be anything but very impressed. Renee has a real flair for creating wonderful dishes.
We look forward to our next visit already!
