Review Offgrid Farm Bistro & Cheesery - Johannesburg

What a beautiful setting. Quiet and dog friendly. My elderly dog could not make it up the stairs she has a leg tumour. We got there with bribes to my baby. The owner does not care about loading units. I spent 12 hours without electricity. If you order food for diner kitchen closes at 5pm. You will eat cold food wrapped in clear wrap soggy and disgusting. But my dog ate it. The mangeress Francina come bar lady you will find stealing out of the till. During no power you will break your neck or fall down flight of stairs. No provision made. I was there for over a week. They close on Monday and Sunday. No food no service.. Beautiful room but not TV any where. Owner rude service not too good. The whole place needs a good clean. Broken curtains. No loo paper. Coffee only ricofee bring your own. Food average when you don't get it delivered at 5pm to eat later. No microwave provided. They are sitting on a gem but very backwards. My dog did enjoyed it though. Only reason I stayed so long. I also fed her all the food I was unable to eat. Ps no power means no hot water, no water no wifi. You will make your way up many stairs in total darkness. Bar will also be closed. No food edable most night s nothing to drink no staff on duty. It really needs a lot of attention.

I took my wife out for a romantic evening after discovering this place on a Google search. We cannot get over how beautiful this location is! It feels as though you have been transported to an Italian villa, the venue is beyond beautiful. The food was delicious and the hospitality from Mitch and Daniella went over and above anything we could have expected. I could not recommend this place more!!!!!!

Party venue for 21st. The hospitality from the team is fantastic, they assisted with all our requests, food, drinks, seating, audio equipment. The beef burgers were absolutely delicious and all our guests were satisfied. Thank you Bosheuwel for helping us celebrate a momentous occasion. We will be back!

Mitch and his team really do go the extra mile. Welcome home is really a fitting marketing strategy. Will definitely be back

We had a great time. The food was excellent and Mitch was a vibe. He made sure we are all taken care of and made us laugh. Thank you so much. Thank you Aaron and George. Highly recommend this place...😊

Still one of our favorite Sunday outings. I was concerned that the situation with Covid19 would affect them over the past two years, but I was pleasantly surprised in how well the farm has been upheld and how neat and tidy everything is. A nice addition has been the small market that they have organized for every last Sunday of the month. There are some really unique products such as the specialty teas, handmade crochet products and pottery graters for garlic, cheese and ginger roots painted in true South African motifs…ideal as gifts for overseas travellers. And then there is their peaceful outdoor restaurant with really good in-house or locally produced foods….what more can I say?

What an amazing place. This is not our 1st time, we've been many times before and we love it everytime. This time we went to watch the rugby. The vibe was great, the food was excellent and the drinks kept rolling. It's kid friendly with a newly built jungle gym/tree house, the pool is a winner in summer and the staff feel like family.

Spent a night at this wonderful estate. The eisben was out of this world, the atmosphere was so lovely and enjoyed the pet friendly vibe. We had a good night sleep and cant rave enough about the food and friendly hospitality.

All the staff are super friendly and it is always a joy and a pick me up to go there . I love this place and the owners are always there to make sure you have fun and you feel like part of the family . I will always recommend them whether it is just for lunch , dinner , a few drinks , a getaway or even a function they are my go to .

Bosheuvel is such a wonderful venue to go for a homie experience away from home! Food is wonderful and drinks are cold 🙌🏻 though their may have been a line for the Christmas buffet due to how busy they were, the food was worth the wait! Definitely going back very soon!

Delicious wedding FEAST venue!! Awesome staff members who LOVE what they are doing. Try the barman's Blueberry G&T it's sooo gorgeous and decadent. The cakes, deserts, homemade pizza made by a REAL young Viking! 😍

Everything about place is perfect I really enjoy their service

Fantastic setting. This is a working farm, and such is the setting of the restaurant. Chickens and dogs wandering around, so don’t go if this is not your cup of tea. Love the fact that all meat presented is home grown and processed on site. Where they lack on waiter service and training they make up in the quality of food, surroundings and atmosphere. Kids can swim and play in huge gardens and jumping castle. Ideal for a close to town and quick breakaway for a couples weekend. Enjoy a good massage, and lovely company from the owners and staff while dining. We’ll worth a try and this place will grow and improve to be the next hot spot.

We arrived to a BIG welcome from the owner, Mitch, then settled in to the always-delicious meat platter (great quality, quantity and price). Also loved the craft beer. We were hit by load shedding halfway through the meal but that didn't dampen our spirits as we sat by the roaring fire. Chef Jackie pulled off a miracle by whipping up some banana split waffles in the dark. We spent the night in a spacious, very comfy room and enjoyed waking to the sounds of the farm. Also loved the excellent breakfast of omelettes and French toast. Thank you Mitch, Jackie, Anele, Ivan and everyone else who ensured we had a fantastic experience. This was our third visit and there will be many more.

This hidden Gem boasts a family atmosphere with a great restaurant in a lovely garden setting. The food is fantastic and the steak was easily the best that I have had in Joburg. Owners were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit.
