Mariella’s

This is a well hidden gem in the Cape Farms as you need to follow a long dirt road before you arrive at Capaia. But it's well worth the drive as the location is truly spectacular and amazing for families with kids. The restaurant has an outside deck where you can enjoy fabulous views of the countryside. The kids have two playgrounds at their feet to keep them busy.

There is a larger one with a huge slide, swings, a climb wall and trampoline. The second one is more suitable for toddlers and right in front of the restaurant so that you can keep an eye on the little ones.

There are also lovely picnic areas on the lawn where you can chill out on cushions and enjoy your glass of wine or simply the sounds of nature.

Just arrive early on a Sunday afternoon. We didn't know that the kitchen closes at 3pm that day and could only enjoy a drink, unfortunately. But we will definitely come back for lunch another day as the food is really amazing, too!

We went back to Mariellas in Aug after visiting the restaurant in Apr this year. We enjoyed it once again. Service was just a bit slower this time, they were quite busy. The food was delicious, I enjoyed the butternut stuffed with creamy spinach very much. The calamari with squid ink was also very tasty.

First time ever, but definitely not the last! We went on Saturday, seated upstairs at a beautiful table for 2. Food was absolutely delicious, so was the wine! We had a mini cheese board as a starter and shared a tasting board, the pictures don't do justice, so delicious. Ended with a wine tasting too at our table. Wine was so good, we had to buy more to take home. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. I think our waiting was Jos, baie dankie vir 'n lekker dag Jos.

Impeccable service. Lovely old styled house turned into this gorgeous restaurant. A new decking area that looks out onto the garden and moutains (in the distance). The food was probably the best I had in the time spent touring the different wine farms. Lovely space and outdoor area for the little ones as well.

Fabulous beyond words. The platters were over the Top. Simply divine. The atmosphere ans staff were super. We enjoyed our day and my friend had his 50th birthday one to be remembered for years to come. Thank you, we will be back. Views for days... Stunning.

An unbelievably good experience. The front of house manager James took such great care of us. The food and wine is superb and it would be hard to find better views anywhere in the Swartland. We will be regulars at Mariella’s for sure.
