Our Guestbook
“ A historical but popular station-restaurant and pub nestled in the town of Hoedspruit next to the actual rail track with live traffic of locomotives passing through frequently. The staff are super friendly, this is a great tourist hotspot if you are staying at the Guernsey park area. A definite must visit. I had a quick light meal only during my time there. ”
“ My partner and I went for Valentine's Day. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food was amazing! The Valentine's set menu was well balanced with different options, and there was an excellent wine menu. From our perspective as Australians, the meal was amazing value. We would not have gotten nearly as nice a meal in Australia for the price we paid. ”
