Visited again after one year for a quick breakfast. We ordered vegetarian pancake with spinach and feta it was quite a huge portion for just R80. Also had a veg wrap and panini. This is a highlight spot for many hikes and a meeting place if note. Lovely food a place for kiddies to play a quaint but beautiful clothing and home goods store. Everything you can find that is tasteful in this shop. New addition is the The Daughters Deli. Beautiful home and brand name condiments, jams, cordials, deli stuff and beautiful gifting. A little pricey I paid R275 for a set of pizza toppings 500ml jars...hmm. But we were on holiday and it's a personal touch home made. I bought the most stunning magnetic glasses ideal for us oldies brentoni label in the shop....beautiful shopping and meals

Unbelievable food and coffee, just down the road from Castleburn resort. The young barista, who does the pics on top of the coffee, is truly amazing - the best I've ever seen and I have ordered a lot of coffee. I drank 2 cappuccinos in a row, just to see what pic I got - the tiger and the dolphins 😂 Plus the chocolate cake was to die for!

We visited the Olde duck to have some sweet treats, only to be told they weren't ready so we had a waffle and pancake instead. The waffle with ice cream and syrup was so good and the pancake with cinnamon sugar and lemon was to die for. These were delicious! My husband had a cappuccino which was very good. We ordered a small plate if chips after which came out quickly and were hot and fresh. We will be back!!

Having been here before on our annual Berg holiday and having given a good review, albeit we found it quite pricey, we were sorely disappointed this time round. But because friend was standing is to breakfast we did not complain at the time. English muffins on menu - but although a Friday nearlyn10am none were made or available so a slice of bread was substituted- but no change in price charged ?? Considerable difference in costs of a muffin and a slice of bread. A wrap was also ordered. Not served as a conventional wrap with filling bit folded over as a sandwich. Not more than one egg. A sprinkling of cheese, some creamed mushrooms and 3 thin round slices of pork sausage. At the price totally offsides! The saving grace was a good Americano black coffee. But certainly we will not be back.

We were recommended to go to this restaurant/coffee shop for a morning coffee/meal whilst attending a wedding in the area. Coffee was good, but we waited 50 minutes for food. My wife’s savory pancake was good and hot. My steak arrived 5 minutes later. EVERYTHING COLD-plate, chips, steak and sauce. Not a cheap meal. Extremely disappointing. Will not be back nor recommend The Olde Duck.

The coffee shop is on a farm with donkeys and other animals. Each table is under a tree - the willow tree is just so pretty... Foodwise, they apparently changed their menu for better and a wider selection (dixit a local friend). I had a camember and bacon beef burger. I can't say it was bad, but I just dont like when the patty is not 100% pure beef. I think there were a mix of spices or a seasoning that I didn't really like.

Recommended by a friend who lives in the area we went to the Olde Duck for brekkie our first morning, wow! Warm scones, fantastic coffee and all around scrumptious fare. This started a love affair with this local joint! We returned following a walk along the river (thanks Sani spoors!) and then again a week later when our travels brought us back to Underberg. Service is friendly and efficient. An all around favourite from our trip - and dog-friendly as a bonus! We don't have kids but the variety of entertainment options for small humans was unsurpassed. Highly recommend.

Recently stopped for a run around and a bite to eat with an energetic 7 year old who needs to stretch her legs and get rid of a bit of energy after an hour in the vehicle. She loved the jungle gym & little houses and was very excited by the animals. Milkshakes and toasted sandwiches and chicken nuggets were enjoyed by all

I love Olde Duck, this was my second trip here. This time around we had the lightest pancakes with syrup and cream, they were too divine. Thank you for accommodating the kids by sharing their hot chocolate in separate cups. It's the little things you do, that provide an extraordinary experience for us. Will definitely be back!

Sit outside in the peaceful garden with beautiful mountain views. The cappuccinos are truly fabulous, and the carrot cake was moist and delicious. Friendly efficient staff. We will definitely be back for a light lunch next time we are in the berg.

Fabulous food guaranteed! Service was a little slow because we had someone new who tried really hard but made some errors. Food was great for 3 generations... so pleased level 2 coming soon and they'll be busier again!

Great for cycling (Sani Spoors) with trails through the neighbouring farms and along the river. Restaurant itself is lovely, food is great. Nice farm stall, home decor shop, roaming chickens and ducks to make the spot even more worthwhile for adults and kids.

Having lunch here was the highlight of our trip to the Drakensberg. What a lovely place, the food was excellent, we had the chicken roti and the chicken burger. Both were absolutely brilliant. The chicken burger was one of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere amongst the chicken, donkeys and llamas just bring the whole experience to another level. So lovely coming from the city to be surrounded by farm animals. You won't be disappointed.

Annual stop at the duck on our way to berg timeshare - great lunch, friendly staff and cute animals. Returned later in the week for delicious coffee, highly recommended milkshakes and awesome carrot cake. Scones and waffles close 2nd!

Normally pop in for coffee and cake which is usually pretty good. Today decided to have lunch and it was very poor. Schnitzel was dried out & tough, burger wasn’t great either. A pity as the venue is beautiful especially in autumn.
