The Restaurant
Enjoy lunch or dinner in our fine dining a la carte restaurant, with a view of our game and the Grobelaars River that crosses our farm. The restaurant is open everyday with specials! It is a historic building (approximately 150 years old) with the old watermill still inside the restaurant. The farm obtained its name from the old mill and all the wheat from the valley was milled on the farm. At that stage there were hundreds of mills all over the country.
In October 2003 Christo and his wife Doret Spies, changed the old building into an a la carte restaurant and we specialize in venison and ostrich dishes. For those who don't like to go to the extreme, enjoy lamb, pasta and many more to choose from. Experience our new Belgian chocolate and local wine tasting!
