What travellers say
“Always a favourite stop travelling the N3. Clean rest rooms. Free filter coffee, best pies in the country and the sourdough always find a way home.”Google review, 2026
“I really love this country stop, and I simply can not drive to Durban without stopping
It really is true that their bathrooms are very clean, but the best part is the homebaked breads and pies
The pies are so tasty with a buttery crust and filled to the brim with filling. It's not something you can miss...
Absolute favorite of our family, yummy”Google review, 2025
