Gauteng.coms visit: We have been there regularly fro walks, which are flat and very windy! Motor biking (footups), the markets and restaurant. The iced coffee was delicious, and we have had good service. It tends to get filled up quickly over weekends, so book a place at the restaurant as you get in.
