Was pleasantly surprised by the stop over on the N3. Lots and lots of parking, warm atmosphere and friendly smiles greet you. The pies are phenomenal and freshly ground coffee, who can resist 😄.

There is always something for the hungry and nice shade if you want to get some fresh air in. There is a prize winning garden that connect at the back with the venue next door. Great for stretching your legs.

This is a must stop for anyone traveling to and From Durban and Johannesburg. The freshly baked goods are delish especially the freshly baked cheese stick. Its doggy friendly and even has a separate poo parlor for your doggy.

We always stop in Harrismith despite having seen the big Windmill sign previously...this time we decided to stop and I'm so sad we didn't find it sooner. An amazing place to visit. Don't even know where to start...the food - 5 Stars (huge variety and very fresh), the bathrooms - 5 Stars (spotless and are cleaned as you walk out), kiddies play area - 5 Stars, the gardens that cater for pets - 10 Stars. Thank you to the owners for thinking of families travelling with pets. You made us feel very welcome and we love the Doggy Poo Parlour.
Stopping at this rest stop was the best part of our trip home. Definitely recommend it and will only stop here in the future.
Bravo and a well-deserved 5 Stars!

Absolutely amazing stop off at Nottigham Rd exit. Free coffee for every car.
Plentiful benches + walking space , pet friendly & chill spot for those long drives.
Would definitely try the Windmill Pies , their ranges of croissants & desserts.

This place is everything it promises, and I enjoyed a wonderful and swift breakfast. I would recommend stopping here along a journey.
They have quite a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. I've tried the Spinach pie with chips and gravy, which is pretty delicious, the Cauliflower burger, and the bunny chow, which was fantastic. The Mediterranean Breakfast Plate is wholesome and tasty.
I also really enjoy the chocolate croissants and the farm bread.

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon when the restaurant was closed, so can't comment there, but the shop was open and I was disappointed: everything was twice the price I'm used to paying for the same quality products.
The bathrooms were good though. Not the 'cleanest bathrooms in South Africa' as their signs claim, but up there.
