Cafe Bacchus & Hunter's Pub |

Cafe Bacchus
In the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel we have created an indoor/outdoor restaurant, Café Bacchus, where visitors can enjoy food and drinks in a leisurely surrounding. Here people can escape from the rat race, stress and mechanical mindedness of our times. Café Bacchus specializes in a variety of mouth-watering cakes, including freshly baked cheese, carrot or chocolate cakes. It is not unusual to find travellers that turn off from the N2 into Storms River Village in order to enjoy our delicious light lunches. All this in a beautiful garden setting with a magical fountain in the middle, complimented by an enchanting statue of the delightful Bacchus himself.
The mischievous Bacchus has the nasty habit of overthrowing the itinerary of even the most rigid traveler. After being seduced by Bacchus many visitors stay over at the Inn for a day or two.
Hunter's Pub
The Hunter's Pub is the original hunting lodge lieut. Duthie, son in law of George Rex used for his hunting expeditions. The Yellowwood ceiling in the hotel dates back to this era. In remembrance of George Rex, the pub is decorated with old riffles, horns, trophies and skins of various bucks including Springbok, Gemsbok, Impala, Kudu, Eland, Duiker, Bush Buck and Bontebok. There is also a stuffed replica of a giant leopard in the bar. Leopards can be found in the forest to this day.
When entering the bar you will find that it is the preferred watering hole for most locals in the Tsitsikamma area. The warmth of an antique fireplace is only matched by the friendliness of the staff that will make you feel at home almost immediately. Our colleagues in the bar all have wide knowledge of the area and are able to converse on a variety of topics. Relax a while and enjoy a few pints of locally brewed beer in this famous historical pub.
We are proud to be one of the 101 Beloved Bars mentioned in the book "101 Beloved Bars of Southern Africa" by Chris Marais and Pat Hopkins.
Description of the book
"101 Beloved Bars of Southern Africa is really a travel book with lots of interesting pit stops built into it. Long-time road writers, humourists and tipplers-at-large Chris Marais and Pat Hopkins each take half of southern Africa and drink it dry on a mission to seek out and expose some of the wackiest, wildest watering holes south of the Sahara.
In 101 Beloved Bars you will discover why a beer tastes good in one pub and not in another; the dubious pleasures of Vattikakki Witblits; why drinking in a Karoo bar actually boosts your health and longevity; how to get drunk in a baobab tree; where Elvis Presley’s love child drinks; the art of bokdrol spitting; and much, much more.
