Spend your weekends browsing our on-site vintage shop for antique treasures, enjoying a round of putt-putt, or simply relaxing over our famous culinary creations.

"Parked outside the delightful Die Werf for breakfast. And because this is apparently how villages function, we ended up chatting to everyone... Discovering it's quietly wonderful. 100% yes!! I will be back."

"An awesome addition to the area which adds so much value to the dorpie. Great place for a Toastie, Panini or a Tramazini with their homemade chips!"

- Happy Visitor

"They have some cool memorabilia to see and buy in the vintage shop. You can really see that the owners have put a lot of effort into the venue."

- Weekend Guest
