I ate in Cove Rock Eatery several times and I can say that everything is very well cooked. Service is very good and it is taken care that you feel like. I am happy to recommend it. Eisbein is even much, much better than in Germany.

So thankful that we have a place of our own @ Cove Rock Country Estate. Awesome place, keep up the great work. Patrons from outside the Estate most welcome !

Excellent!!! Must do ! Eisbien and pizzas especially amazing great vibes

A very relaxed atmosphere (warm and inviting), with soft music playing on the background We recieved a top-notch service from our waitress , she was polite and attentive. And the food is excellent and absolutely delicious and affordable too. The dessert is to die for . We'll definitely be going back to try more of their dishes

We ate twice during our one week stay. On both occassions the food and service were excellent and very reasonably priced. My wife on both occassions ate pizza which she declared the best she had ever eaten.

The best pizza I have ever had. We have travelled to several countries in the world I can honestly say that this is the most memorable pizza ever! We even went back a second time and despite the restaurant having no power the same amazing pizza was presented. A beautiful view of the little dam with impala peacefully grazing the emerald green grass on the banks . Will certainly go back here when we go on holiday again

O my goodness, such a surprise but the food was absolutely amazing! My husband had a rump steak, rare, normally its either still cold inside or its a bit more done. This steak was very rare but warm right through, it was absolutely amazing and something most restaurant chefs can't get right! So really to the chef, well done! The Eisbein was also amazing, crispy on the outside yet moist and fall off the bone inside! The service was great as well, never waited for anything long and so friendly!
