Thali Thali Game Lodge

Thali Thali Game Lodge, situated on the beautiful West Coast of South Africa, is a privately owned game reserve that welcomes the whole family to a wholesome farm experience.  The reserve is just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town – just fifteen minutes away from the beautiful Langebaan lagoon.  Langebaan draws water sport enthusiasts from all over the world and makes for the most stunning sunsets.  Owners Thys and Amalia, makes it their mission to make you feel welcome, whether you pop in for lunch or stay for the weekend.

Hospitality and Accommodation at Thali Thali Game Lodge

Thali Thali Game Lodge can accommodate up to 29 guests in three different types of accommodation.  The three West Coast style cottages are well equipped for self-catering, while the five glamping tents provides the ideal safari experience under the stars.  The Old Farmhouse, lovingly called Ouma’s House, is ideal for families or a group of friends.  This four-bedroom original farmhouse has a large fireplace as well as wrap-around stoep for lazy afternoons in the sun.  All units are also available on a B&B basis.  And let me tell you – the breakfasts are not to be missed!

Each unit is tastefully decorated in cheerful colours.  Fluffy white towels, quality linen and carefully picked out bathroom treats spoil guests during their stay.  Each unit has its own braai / barbeque facilities, and some of the units are wheelchair friendly.

The cosy restaurant and barare open seven days a week, except for Sunday evenings. The restaurant is situated next to a Boma area, and the playground and splash pool offers playful retreat for kids while the parents relax.

The Thali Thali restaurant offers beautifully presented, generous cuisine true to the West Coast region of South Africa.  Vegetarians will have several options, and at the end of the month they also offer a special Sunday Buffet.  The latter is also available on special request for groups on other Sundays.  They are famous for their golden vetkoek, sweet potatoes and home made preserves – altogether great West Coast hospitality.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
