Wakkerstroom Country Inn Restaurant

About Wakkerstroom Country Inn Restaurant

Inland from the coastal hotspots of Richards Bay and St Lucia, in the balmy province of Mpumalanga, is the historical little town of Wakkerstroom. In fact, this is the second-oldest town in the province and its charm is rivalled only by the stunning landscapes of the countryside all around it. It is in these idyllic conditions that the Wakkerstroom Country Inn Restaurant awaits hungry travellers or those hankering after an ice-cold beer.

The ambience of this restaurant and pub is warm and inviting for tourists passing through and the locals that frequent it. But, this is no run-of-the-mill country pub. Only the freshest ingredients are used to create dishes that arrive at your table looking a little like artistic creations. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are available from Monday to Sunday for the convenience of hungry patrons.

There is an indoor dining area, complete with a log fire for chilly evenings or those that want a more intimate affair. The patio on the private garden is gorgeous and allows parents to watch their little ones in the kiddies' play area. The dining area on the veranda has lovely views of the historical town square, with a fantastic vibe. Sample some of the favourite local dishes with interesting twists in this family-friendly eatery.

Wakkerstroom is about three hours' drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria. It is surrounded by hiking trails and dams that are brimming with trout, luring anglers to try their hand at some fly-fishing. The town also boasts no fewer than three national monuments, making it fascinating to explore.
