I had supper at NEDERSETTING. The food was excellent. But it was the steak that did it for me. Tannie Hester prepared a steak that even a Michelin star chef could learn a thing or two from her.
The hostess is active: engaging with her clientele, the waiters are on the ball.

We spent 3 nights in Nieuwoudville and ate here every evening. There is no menu as such, just a buffet but with a huge choice of things to eat and all home cooked. It was delicious. My husband had Malva pudding for dessert each night. The staff are a delight. They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed/ wanted and they soon cottoned onto my husband’s love of Malva pudding and saved him the corners!! On 3 freezing nights in Nieuwoudtville, the Nedersetting was a warm and delightful experience that I will never forget.

Traversing through the Nieuwoudtville (looking for spring flowers) during a very cold period in early Sep 23, we decided to stop at Nedersetting for breakfast. 1 star, my wife spend quite a while in the wide selection of items in the curio shop. 2nd star, entering the restaurant, we were welcomed by a friendly waiter and seated. 3rd star, seated close to a very warm and cosy fireplace in the middle of restaurant. 4th star, good coffee promptly received. 5th star, nicely presented and flavourful omelette prepared.
A big thank you to the owner and staff of Nedersetting - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Die Nedersetting came highly recommended by our host at the B&B we were staying at. I called to make a reservation at 4pm soon after arriving in Nieuwoudtville. I was greeted by one of the owners and I requested a table. Her response was that I needed to call before 3pm to make a reservation (I checked the website afterwards and now where does it state this). I explained that we had just arrived and the recommendation was made by our B&B host. I was happy to not proceed with the reservation at this point but she still asked how many of us there are. It was just going to be my husband and I.
I also mentioned that we are vegetarian (which should not have been a problem because their website says that their menu is vegetarian friendly). To this she said that it was going to be challenging to accommodate us and she would need to ask the chef. I could hear the annoyance in her voice while she was talking to the Chef and throughout my interaction with her.
I eventually said to her that we will find another place to have dinner at because my interaction with her was becoming incredibly frustrating. I also told her that she shouldn’t advertise that their restaurant is vegetarian friendly if she couldn’t actually accommodate vegetarians, to which she said she will not do that.
Very disappointing experience. We will not attempt to make a reservation on future trips to Nieuwoudtville.

We arrived just after 2pm to be informed staff had gone home already although their advertised times states 3pm.
They had coffee and cake which were fine for us.
We then sat down and nobody came to serve us .
Finally we went to the kitchen where the woman refused to answer us and just stared at us in a please go away fashion.
I would be very scared to stay here if this is the way they act in high tourist season

Superb experience. Excellence comes as standard in everything on offer at The 1897 Nedersetting.
From the decor and comfort of the accommodation, where every detail has been thought of and catered for, to the tasteful range of products available in the shop, the exquisite food from their kitchens and the decor in the restaurant. And of course the hospitality provided by the staff.
A real gem that can hold it's own against 5 star venues anywhere in the world.
Worth visiting Nieuwoudtville just to stay here!

We were a small group and all were impressed with the quality of the food and very good service. Typical food of the region that is highly recommended and friendly staff. They were quite busy but service was punctual. We arrived at 10:00 on a Sunday so we are not sure about the quality of service after 14:00 as claimed to be poor by some clients. Our experience was very good!!!

We stopped for a quick breakfast- took longer than an hour for food to be served. Food not served the same time to everyone. Food served, without cutlery. Waited more than 15min for cutlery. Poor waiter- was his first day. No guidance on what items on the menu. Management failed poorly to support and guide waiter. Food was ok, but cold by the time the cutlery was delivered.

Friendly, welcoming nothing is too much trouble service. Stayed 3 nights and had different food from the buffet each night. Spoilt with a steak cooked by Hester one evening. Just the best. Food is simple home from home cooking. Nothing fancy but enough variety to keep all happy. Staff always polite and helpful. Room was clean and serviced every day. Wessie and Hester made us so welcome. We felt very special and I am very proud that we have establishments like this in our tourist industry. My wife spent lots of time around the shop. I hid my credit card away!

Goodness, where do I start. First of all, make sure you arrive early for dinner as their is a delightful shop attached to the restaurant. Be prepared to part with your money - lovely local things, carefully selected and well-priced. The buffet dinner was beyond our expectations, really! Salads and soup as a starter, with freshly baked breads. A good wine list. The main meal was extensive - a wide selection of vegetables, beautiful lamb stew, lamb ribs and a chicken a la king. Lovely desserts as well. You can’t miss this. The staff, and owner - delightful and kind

We visited Nieuwoudtville and booked dinner at this restaurant. The buffet was a lovely surprise with delicious home cooked style beef, lamb and chicken, lots of vegetable and salad choices. For dessert one could have Malva pudding, fruitsalad, ice cream and custard.
The staff were very friendly and service was excellent. We sat next to the fire place and it was warm and cozy in contrast with the very cold weather outside.I hope to be back one day in future!

Wessie is a gem as mentioned earlier.
She went out if her way to ensure I enjoyed my meal to the fullest
The food was absolutely stunning
Breakfast the next morning was as good
Upon asking if there was Marmite Weddie opened a drawer to produce it
The staff are brilliant

The dinner comprised mainly of local dishes that were wholesome and well presented. A log fire helped to keep the winter chill away.

My mum and I had dinner at this restaurant during the flower season. We were lucky enough to get a table and enjoy the tasty and local food buffet that enable us to try different food and flavors. The waiters and everyone working here are all very nice and welcoming.
Highly recommended for a cozy dinner in this little town in the middle of the desert
