Important Information
We can only guarantee dinner if you stay two nights or more, for a minimum of 4 people, over high season. Dinner is not every night and as such your request for dinner "upon arrival' may not be possible (but we can make a dinner reservation for you at our preferred restaurants and you will automatically have a spot the next night with us -- just ask!).
Dinner at Augusta's African Kitchen is for guests only (and their friends) and one-week notice is recommended as space is limited to about 10 people. We are closed for dinner on our birthdays (03/04 January, 12/13 April) and most public holidays. In winter, we reserve the right to have a minimum number of four. We only cater for special requests in low season (vegetarian or gluten-free). We regret that we do not cater for plain, dull as dishwater food. Our dinners are chock full of flavour, and it is something you will never forget!
Dinner is required on 26/28/30 Dec and 02 Jan each year and if you have booked Honeybush on a dinner evening, dinner may also required. Just ask yourself this, if you are booking into a place which is a known foodie destination, why would you miss out? No special requests or menu changes are made the day of arrival.
Smoking is limited to outside areas. We regret that we no longer accept children from October through April.
