Hey everyone, I am becoming rather passionate about showcasing Awesome South Africa tourist destinations. This is a cool little tea garden/restaurant in the North West called Tan Malies. The really cool thing about this is they serve traditional 'boerekos' as well as you can take your own meat and braai (bbq) your own with your family it is super and such an awesome concept.
The Setting is on the side of the crocodile river featuring the most amazing bird life, The perfect setting for birdwatchers! Upon entry you will be greeted with an oldschool Ox Wagon. So Nostalgic if you have studied South African history.
If ever you are in the area and need further details phone number address etc check them out here .. https://www.zomato.com/hartbeespoort/tan-malie-se-winkel-hartbeespoort
Below we have the wine list. What many folks do is pay per head and bring their own food and drinks for a wonderful family day for everyone.
A random old school Ox wagon wheel just chilling to add that extra country vibe to the setting.
These ploughs go back hundreds of years and were used to plough fields for cultivation and were normally 'drawn' by horses, donkeys or oxen more info as per wikipedia here ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plough
A map written in afrikaans, inscribed rather, quiet arty too which I love.
Here we have 2 'Potjikos pots' they are called in South Africa, Basically massive iron pots used for slow cooking some great meals in the BBQ 'braai' As per wikipedia ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potjiekos
MEN STAY OUT... Ladies bathrooms..
Yes would you believe that is the handle to flush the toilet, just hilarious and brilliant at the same time :)
One of the many areas where you can sit relax and just really enjoy nature and the outdoors with family and friends 'Africa Style'
As you enter the premises from the right you are greeted by an 'oxcart' to get a real interesting feel of what is to follow.
Another quick squizz from outside and inscribed some Afrikaans writing!
Trust you have the most wonderful evening.

Nostalgic stuff my boy! Your uncle and I used to frequent that place as Sea Scouts !
One of your best postings. Great stuff!!
Being Dutch the African writing is clear to me :-) I have visiting South Africa on my bucketlist. :-)
Haha and been South African Dutch is clear to me. I guess I can talk three languages ? :)
I used to live in Crete a very long time ago, and had a South African friend, her name was Susie, but when she spoke south African -Dutch I could hardly understand what she said, but reading it was fantastic :-) Your speak languages are partly mine too only I can oh YOU can too add a language at your list! Flemish! In Belgium, they have two languages, French and Dutch, but the French side does not like the Flemish and the Flemish do not like the French :-) Flemish is the same as Dutch! only with softer pronunciation, and many words that we in the Dutch language just use spoken out in English, they translate or vice versa. :-) So you speak 4 :-)
