We enjoyed our meal of Kudu here, and also enjoyed the very pleasant surroundings of the outside patio area. It was a hot evening, and being able to sit in the open air was much appreciated. The service was quick and efficient, and there was plenty of parking spaces in this easy to find restaurant, which sits just back from the main road in Hoedspruit.

Yum Yum Restaurant and Coffee Bar

Reviewed By rozp283

This is our favourite restaurant in Tzaneen and our first stop when we visit. We are still battling to find somewhere great to stay in Tzaneen but keep coming back to visit Yum Yum. They support local businesses and have local craft beers on the menu. Quiet when we were there on a Friday afternoon and service was quick. My husband said there was far too much mayonnaise on his Prego roll but otherwise we were very happy with our order. I have the haloumi ciabatta which was excellent and the honey and rooibos milkshake although quite small was very good. The smashed meringue dessert (their take on an Eton mess) is simply amazing.

Reviewed By Pieter G - Phalaborwa, South Africa

Visit crawdaddys Tzaneen today for lunch on arival we found our table cloth dirty sticky clear signs of food from the previous customers. I requested a clean fresh table cloth to which our waitress Glandus just came with a damp cloth and wiped the table. We ordered our food 2 x mains and 1 starter we advised her that she can bring it together but put the starter order in first to perhaps have it a bit quicker. The food arrived 2 x mains first and about 1 min later the starter. Ok no problem as we ordered it to come together. My wife ordered fleur du cap natural light. Sorry out of stock about 6 min later. So we ordered another wine. Don't your waiters now what is in stock or not. Our food was good as always. During our lunch we saw our waitress 4 x when she took the drinks and food order. When she advised wine out of stock when the food came and when we wanted the bill asked from another waiter to tell her to bring the bill. The bill arived for Table 49 R728.00 we were table 25 bill R403 if I didn't check the bill we would have been R325 out of pocket. During our lunch the "manager" was doing his rounds and when advised of the dirty table cloth to which he replied sorry and walked away. WOW is this how they treat their clients Management???. NO CRAWDADDYS Tzaneen this is not you what went wrong????.

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,
