This has always been one of our favourite places, which is why we brought our family back again in 2026. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing.The food was excellent, but the service fell far below expectation. Upon arrival, we were told the restaurant was full and asked to wait. Once a table became available, the delays continued. We waited a long time to be served, our drinks took an excessive amount of time, and one drink was forgotten entirely.The wait for food was also very long, and one meal — for a diabetic guest — was forgotten, which was particularly concerning. Despite the restaurant being full, there appeared to be sufficient staff. However, guests frequently had to approach waiters themselves to ask for the bill, ice, or assistance.When I asked for additional chairs, I was told to fetch them myself from other tables. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks, and in total we spent nearly two hours for a sandwich, carrot cake, and a small portion of calamari.We will still consider staying here again, but unfortunately will not be dining at the restaurant in future, which is truly disappointing given how much we previously enjoyed it. I sincerely hope future guests have a better experience.Compliments to the chef as the food was at least very tasteful.

Seeplaas GrootbrakrivierWe couldn't have asked for a better way to wrap up our weekend than with a visit to Seeplaas Grootbrakrivier. Arriving for breakfast and dessert, we were immediately captivated by the stunning location – perched right on the water's edge with the sea stretching endlessly before us. The atmosphere was pure tranquility. There's something magical about enjoying your morning coffee while listening to the gentle rhythm of the waves, and the views provided the most spectacular backdrop imaginable. After our delicious meal, we wandered through their charming on-site gallery and shop, which added an unexpected cultural dimension to our visit. What impressed us most was how Seeplaas caters to everyone. Whether you're interested in their gin tasting experiences, content to simply watch the ocean, or have energetic little ones who need space to explore, there's something for everyone. The expansive lawn is perfect for children to run freely while parents relax. Our waiter truly enhanced the experience with attentive, helpful service delivered with genuine warmth and positivity. It's these thoughtful touches that transform a good meal into a memorable experience. Seeplaas offers more than just excellent food – it's a complete sensory escape that left us already planning our return visit.

Fantastic place. If your visiting the area, you need to stop here. The food is really good. The art gallery amazing! If they are busy don't bargain on getting a table when you show up.

We booked the Bubble and I arranged for a picnic on the beach. Everything was perfect! The staff are amazing. They truly go out of their way to assist! It is truly our highlight of the year. Please go to the gallery and look at the amazing artwork!

An incredible experience at Seeplaas. Beautiful setting, friendly staff, delicious food, a stunning art gallery, and a lovely play area for children. The sea views are absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended!
