If you’re craving a break from the city without actually leaving it, The Village Green Family Restaurant at Blair Atholl Golf and Equestrian Estate offers exactly that. Situated on Gary Player’s original farm, this lush estate feels worlds away from Joburg With the Crocodile River running through its centre, expansive green spaces, and tree-lined pathways, it’s the kind of place where both adults and kids can slow down and breathe.

Booking is effortless too. Simply reserve your table on Dineplan, receive your entry code, and glide through the gate without any hassle. Once inside, you’ll pass grazing horses, rolling lawns, and peaceful views that immediately set the tone for a relaxed countryside dining experience.

A Warm, Homely Restaurant Surrounded by Nature

The Village Green has the charm of a luxurious farm-style home. As you step inside, you’re welcomed by warm interiors, comfortable seating, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find this close to the city. Additionally, the restaurant opens onto beautifully kept gardens, a sparkling pool, and a children’s play area that includes a turf soccer court and a giant outdoor chess set.

Because of all these features, families love it here. Kids can stay busy for hours, while adults unwind with a glass of Babylonstoren Chardonnay or an icy Super Bock beer on tap. It’s an effortless balance of relaxation and entertainment — one that keeps guests returning weekend after weekend.

Comfort Food With a Refined Touch

The Village Green Restaurant offers a menu rooted in flavour and generosity. To start, their famous Beef Trinchado (R140) arrives tender and rich, served with pickled vegetables and finished in their signature Portuguese-inspired sauce.

For mains, the Queen Prawns (R270) are always a standout. They’re grilled to perfection and served with either garlic or lemon butter. If you’re feeling extra hungry, you can add a flame-grilled peri-peri half chicken — a combination that’s consistently popular among regulars.

If you’re after something quick, the Chicken Prego Roll (R85) is a simple, tasty favourite. And for dessert lovers, the Ice-Cream Nut Cake (R115) drenched in homemade Bar-One sauce is an absolute must.

Perfect for Weddings, Functions, and Celebrations

Thanks to its spacious gardens, elegant interiors, and multiple event areas, The Village Green doubles as an ideal venue for weddings, conferences, and private functions. The estate’s scenery naturally elevates any celebration, giving guests a serene escape while staying close to Johannesburg and Lanseria Airport.

Ultimately, The Village Green Restaurant blends beautiful scenery with heartfelt hospitality and delicious comfort food. It’s a family-friendly gem where afternoons stretch out easily, kids stay entertained, and adults enjoy a well-deserved moment of calm. Whether you’re planning a long lunch, a quick bite, or a special celebration, this Blair Atholl favourite delivers every time.

On Auction: A Riverfront Country Estate Where Art, Architecture & Nature Live in Harmony

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.

Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
