    Quaint in the country

    Cafe is easy to find off the highway, through Howick and on the Karkloof road. The entrance is on dirt but parking is plentiful and it is fairly easy to find shade. The venue is ideal for families as there are some animals to see...More

    Great milkshake

    Lovely spot in a beautiful old home with magnificent view of the falls. Had a delicious, thick and creamy milkshake - the setting made it extra special.

    Stunning setting, delicious food!

    We stopped at Yellowwood Cafe after swimming the Midmar Mile and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Awesome selection (even vegan options), beautiful setting under the trees, petting zoo and chilled vibe

    Excellent spot for a cuppa

    What a little gem just on the outskirts of Howick. We have a quick stop at Yellowood for tea and scones and it really was a lovely experience. We sat in the garden and watched birds while we drank tea and ate the freshest scones...More

    A Very disappointing chicken salad for lunch today. Was tasteless. Only one kind of lettuce used - and most of it was 'white.' Not one herb in the salad and no special salad dressing. Just olive oil and balsamic.

    Terrible service, bad management

    Bad customer service, mediocre food, dirty unkept toilets. Overall bad management. This place is destined to fail if not turned around urgently. The animals were ok to look at, but they didn't provide animal feed for children to feed them.

    What's happened?

    I loved this venue 2/3 years ago but when we arrived at 3 this afternoon it seemed like a different place. Staff unfriendly and seemed not to want us there - winding down perhaps as it closed. They said they didn't serve anything but cakes...More
