Country Bumpkin is available for hire for private and corporate functions and conferences, and is open for dinner most nights and lunches available over season.
Restaurant
The Bumpkin' as it is affectionately named blends into the surrounding indigenous bush, and boasts a separate bar, a wide stoep overlooking the outdoor areas and great service.
