Wholesome Dining
at it's Best

Dining at Drakenskloof is ‘family-style’ where meals and dishes are shared altogether. We try to source our ingredients as locally as possible, and harvest some of our own fruit and vegetables, adapting our dishes seasonally.

Inspired Cuisine

The menu is inspired by the places that once influenced Swahili culture, along with the bold flavours of India. You will discover the sharing of meals prominent in North Africa and the small bites of Eastern and Southern Europe, all with a South African twist. Seen in its entirety, our food shows a strong Ottolenghi influence, tied to the philosophies of simple, plenty and wholesome.

Flexible Catering

Our chef will check in at breakfast to confirm the menu for the day but we will do our best to meet your needs should your requirements change. We cater specifically for children of all ages.

Drinks Included

All soft drinks, fruit juices, beers and ciders are provided as well as a wide selection of spirits, handcrafted cocktails and carefully curated South African wines are listed for all palates and occasions.

Our Promise

As part of our ongoing commitment to conservation, we actively invest in the removal of alien vegetation, which poses a great threat to the delicate and unique Cape Floral Kingdom. All timber from this alien removal is used as firewood, with the remaining wood chips being used as ground cover for our beautiful gardens and pathways. ​We have multiple camera traps throughout the property, monitored monthly by the Cape Leopard Trust to better understand and protect the Cape Leopard and other animals endemic to the region.​

All guest fees include a small contribution to the Drakenskloof Conservation Fund, helping us continue our conservation efforts in this important region.
