Great day out with the kids, safe open and friendly. We walked the 2.3km trial with great elevated views of Irene and Centurion. The restaurant features liquor license, great steak and burger & chips. Have a English Scone, jam and cream with tea under the trees. Jungle gym and jumping castle. You can also visit the Jan Christian Smuts House museum or have a picnic on the grounds. Extra tips: Dog friendly. If you want to explore the area on bikes or motorcycles park your vehicle safely inside the grounds (R10 per vehicle) and have a sundowner afterwards at restaurant.

A must see for all South Africans. A strong, convicted politician, not perfect, yet obviously clearly not moved by material things. Highly intelligent, respected the world over, highly accomplished in many diverse arenas - politics, philosophy, botany; right down to his detailed fascination with herbs and grasses - who would have thought. Incredible homestead focusing more on the natural than the material. Much food for thought; and a beautiful shaded Tea Room set in peaceful Green Gardens all the more to make it a wonderful yet informative outing for the family. Well worth a visit - well worth the donation/adult to view the house - but allow at least an hour to carefully read through and internalise everything; just as it was when Smuts was there - even to the untouched, clearly expansive, fascinating personal library!
Very insightful tour back in time, and to walk the route Jan Smuts did was amazing to get to their final resting place. And what better way to end a good hike with freshly homemade lemonade and cake at Tannie Issie's restaurant.
Great place to visit. History is fantastic.
Top and best service by the waiter, really made us feel at home. The museum round was also interesting to explore. Nice visit and would definitely come back.
My reason for the 3 stars. The museum was pretty cool. (star) the scenery was amazing (star) the coffee was warm (star) We arrived there just before 9am in the morning. We ordered a breakfast and coffee before we went to the museum. The breakfast came and it was cold.. Other than the food being cold it was pretty enjoyable. Just eat beforehand.
Really well looked after. Very interesting. Lady at the museum was so helpful and friendly. Thank you. Coffee shop very good.
Good short hiking up and down the "koppie"....... restaurant also very good...
