About The Old Hatchery Restaurant
You have chosen to come to the most beautiful part of the Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal. There is nothing quite like Southern Berg hospitality. Our little haven is just 10km from Underberg nestled amongst some hills overlooking rolling farmlands and the Mzimkulu River on the Drakensberg Gardens Road.
The magnificent thatched restaurant with panoramic views across the dam and on to the farmlands in the distance is situated just next to the waterfall that flows into our trout dam.
We serve breakfasts, lunches and dinners on bookings only. Our pub is licensed and we are able to host intimate weddings, special occasions and corporate functions. The restaurant can seat between 25 to 30 people and for more informal settings we can host about 50 people. We also, very conveniently, have enough accommodation on the property to house about 26 people.
Our local chef, Themba, is well-trained in Italian cuisine and his food will tantalize your taste buds whilst you sit back and enjoy the natural surroundings of the countryside. By day the children can hop in the canoe and paddle or fish in the dam and by night you can sit around the cozy fireplace to share an evening with friends, new and old.
On The Menu:
Pollo Malenzane
Fillet Ripini
Pollo Pesto
Bruschetta
Oxtail
Lamb Chops
Rump & T-Bone steaks
Pollo Cacciatore
All our pasta is home made and we have a fresh soup everyday
