It was only a visiting relative with an inquiring mind and the wherewithal of a good internet connection who came across this restaurant’s website and suggested an evening excursion.
For my partner and I, it was a bit of déjà vu, as we had first met one memorable night a good number of years ago at Southern Comfort Lodge.
We arrived at the gates after a rather bumpy ride down potholed roads and were greeted by the attendant who asked if we had a booking — the notice on the gate says: “Bookings Only” — I did wonder if we would be turned away without one, but discovered that being early does pay.
We parked by the restaurant and so had a very short walk in the semi-lit garden to the entrance of the restaurant.
Here lights were shining, and the “comforting” background sound of a generator augured well for the evening. We were warmly greeted by the owner and shown into the small bar area.
Being the first patrons, we were given wonderfully personal service and drinks were very rapidly served.

A Peach of a Place Bags of peach prunings wait to be made into a thatched roof for the pergola that will soon be added over the ipe deck. Bowls of dried peach chips sit on the kitchen counter (the Sullivans slice them extra thin and don't add sulfites). |
