We finally made our long overdue stop at this intriguingly sign posted invite atop Van Reenan's Pass. Drive past the derelict and abandoned petrol station to a pastoral hinterland of mountain views, farmland and a tiny little church built in honour of a much loved son. In the same grounds is the tea garden, antique shop and tearoom in a converted house that resonates with the courtesy and welcome of days gone by. We enjoyed scones with Earl Grey tea served on fragile porcelain and our tea arrived in aged solid silver ware. This place is delightful. You may have to wait for a table but it is worth it. If you prefer the intimate and home cooked to the noise and fast food of elsewhere then do not hesitate to add this venue to your preferred stop over list.

A lovely pitstop & leg stretch.
The best cakes & berry compote.
Great coffee & hot tea beautifully served in vintage silver & floral crockery.
Clean bathrooms & a lovely gift shop with ample jams, preserves & marmalades.
Take a jersey if you opt to sit out in the garden, as there's usually a fresh mountain breeze.

We stopped in after visiting the little church.
We had cream scones with blueberry jam which we enjoyed under the trees in the neat little garden overlooking the valley.
This is a good stop for a leg stretch, four-legged patrons are welcome as we did see a few on leashes.

What a lovely place for a stop on the drive from Johannesburg to Natal. In our case it was a breakfast stop and we didn’t have a lot of time. It is lovely sitting in that beautiful little garden (with our dog!).
The breakfast menu is perfect and to our surprise the food came quickly and was really tasty. We even did a little shopping in their store. A really good stop
which we will repeat.

The owner baked both my son's wedding cakes and they were delicious.
We have gone there several times and never has the food or the company failed us. Devine, devine devine is all I can say!
While there, pop into the little church and light a candle ... its worth the little walk over

We still live the garden setting and the views and the little chapel is as always “ perfect “ . We ordered tea and scones and a while later our meal - the tea and scones came and a minute later the meals ? The “ gammon “ was as dry as biltong and no flavour - the “ home made steak and Kidney pie “ was a heartburn bom !! The ladies that helped us were very friendly and helpful but the food was not up to standard ! It’s a pity as it’s a really stunning place to stop instead of a garage ! The bathrooms are clean and it’s never crowded and the book selection on SA history is great . The shop has many interesting “
Antiques “ .

This is so much better than the big fast food places! And the food came fast anyway! Delicious, simple, friendly, beautiful view, quiet, uncrowded (Feb midweek lunch) and affordable.

This is always a “must stop” when we travel from JHB to KZN and vice versa with our fur babies. The staff are amazing and their food and cakes are out of this world. This pleasant small Tea Garden also has a gift shop that offers a variety of lovely items, such as nick-nacks, gifts and collectibles, as well as jams and preserves. Highly recommended.

What an awesome spot to break your journey between Johannesburg and Durban. Malcolm and Geraldine are super hosts and make all of their guests feel most welcome. We have stopped over a number of times and the fare is always of excellent quality and reasonably priced. The setting next to the Little Church overlooking the Berg is awesome - especially when you are able to sit outside in the warmer months. Geraldine also has a lot of silver and crystal items that she has sourced from near and far on display and for sale in her shop and my wife just can't help herself. We always go away with something - this time it was a crystal rose pattern decanter :)

We stopped to see the little church and were attracted to the little church restaurant which is on the same property. Felt very welcome. Fire warming the room and old cat on chair at hearth. Service was friendly and quick. Super breakfast menu. We were charmed by the silver teapots, basins, milk jugs. Such elegance! There is an outdoor seating area with magnificent view for warmer day. Highly recommended

The most delicious food, friendly service and breathtaking view! This stop is a must when driving down to Durban. The church is so beautiful, the gift shop is filled with the most amazing homemade treats and the scones are to die for! What a way to start a holiday :)

There is always such a rush to get to the sea.... we pass the gems on the way. This little spot is so quaint and unexpected.
