Experience the Kaai 4 Braai Restaurant

My family and I have live in different parts of the country, but each year we get together in the Garden Route and our favourite place for a happy, loud and enjoyable reunion meal is Kaai 4 Braai Restaurant in Mossel Bay.

Situated in the Mossel Bay Harbour, with a floor of beach sand, we cast off our shoes and wiggle our toes and feet into the sand as we are seated. It is one of my favourite moments in our family holiday!

With views of the harbour on one side and the golden Santos Beach on the other, Kaai 4 Braai Restaurant has a very pleasant location.

The incredible seaside venue

Such is our pleasure at being at this fantastic restaurant that we comfortably spend five or six hours relaxing at this informal seaside restaurant chatting, eating, drinking and sometimes just staring into the endless turquois ocean and listening to the sounds of the waves crashing against the harbour wall.

The manager, Shaun, is a natural born restauranteur and shares his stories and jokes with his happy patrons as he happily moves from table to table.

Kaai 4 Braai’s dishes are mouth-watering and almost all of the meals are prepared on a big open fire. Their old-school Moerkoffie and a Roosterkoek make a great start to the day!

Kaai 4 Braai Bar

We particularly enjoy their mussel pot, hamburgers, chicken pot, spareribs, chicken kebabs, braaid hake, lamb pot, and, my absolute favourite, the meat basket.

There are plenty of activities to keep the kids busy – they can either play in a kid’s corner inside the restaurant, or spend an hour or two snorkelling (supervised) in the enclosed area of the ocean right next to the restaurant where you can still keep an eye on them.

Kaai 4 Braai Restaurant is not only a good restaurant, it is great experience too. Kaai 4 Braai is open 7 days a week from 10:00 to 21:00. For more information, call 044 691 0056 or visit www.kaai4.co.za.

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!
