Moss & Maple Restaurant and Farmstall
A large family restaurant resembling a typical North American Ranch house. Ideal for all ages due to the design and space, offering a well equiped and very popular play park, including quad cart and pony rides for kiddies and shaded or sunny decks and verandahs, log fires and a pub inside for adults wanting a quieter space.
We offer an extensive, affordable and unpretentious menu of fresh, wholesome and tasty food, the best milkshakes and coffees and a well stocked pub.
Built from exquisite Canadian Maple Wood and North American Oregon Pine, the 800sq meter building overlooks lawns, Lilly ponds and pine forest.
Entering the building you will pass through our shop where you will find gifts, art and crafts, toys, fire wood, ice, preserves, spices, sauces, clothing, novelties, sweets, ice creams, cookies, cakes and more. Some made on site and some sourced locally.
Adjacent to the restaurant and free play park is our MR Adventure Centre, where we offer a range of fun activities and team building and leadership courses.
"Food is wholesome and really good value for money. The Amarula hot chocolate was amazing as well as the ranch salad and sloppy Joe tramezzini. Service was excellent. Staff exceptionally warm and friendly. Atmospheric vibe was also very homey, warm and relaxing. Spacious and not overcrowded. Don't have kiddies but the play area looked very enticing almost took my shoes off to join."

"Delicious food - we had the chicken mayo tramezzini. We were also greeted very warmly by the manager/owner. This place is especially good for kids as they have a play park and pony rides."

"Hidden gem just outside Keurbooms where we enjoyed a hearty brunch to set our way for the day. Fast, friendly service of good quality food - enjoyed the sunrise toast and coffee."
— Conné Spangenberg
"Fantastic, kid friendly, spacious place. Our new favourite stop on the N2. The highlight is obviously the huge, unique play area and the fact that there is both indoor and outdoor space for kids to play. You can see the facilities were designed by someone who knows kids. Plus, decent pizza, lovely milkshakes (try cookies and cream flavour!) and service that felt genuinely warm and friendly. Farm stall with plenty of handmade and homemade stuff, including cute Afrikaans stuff. Groups without kids can sit on the other side of the stoep and enjoy the view of the forest, river and pond. Looks like you could also take a little walk. So refreshing compared to most roadside stops."
