The table
Dining
Every spa day includes a proper meal, cooked here, not brought in.
The kitchen
Cooked the way you would at home
The kitchen here is a family affair, and it shows in the food. Nothing is reheated and nothing arrives under a cloche.
Breakfast is laid out when you arrive. Lunch comes in the middle of the day, and home baked scones with fresh cream and preserves close the afternoon. Dinner on the night spa is three courses.
The pies and the bobotie come from Tannie Rika's own pastry, which is the sort of detail you only get in a family kitchen.
