Hidden gem of history found on the edge of Riversdale about 50kk from the coastal fishing village of Stilbaai

This is a hidden gem off the beaten track. Usually we wisp through Riversdal but we decided to seach for a Geocache at the Old Jail. We love the history of this place and tried to imagine how it must have been to be imprisoned here 150 years ago. Kids will love it and the coffee shop is very reasona
Lovely filling Breakfast, the big round dining table made you feel like you are back home on a Christmas morning. Value for money. Friendly staff. The place is oozing with history. Best to go when you have some tome to really indulge in the antiques and books.
The old jail has been tastefully converted to a small restaurant, art galleries and antique shops. Every little corner has a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. The lady running the restaurant was delightful, our lunch was simple and tasty.
We stopped at this very interesting place on our way home from vacation. We regret not getting any food as the whole place smelled so lovely. The history of the building and the atmosphere had us in aww.
Would recommend popping by when passing Riverdale.
Stunning place to visit and lovely restaurant under the trees or you can sit inside. They have cream soda floats and delicious milkshakes.
Great food served by friendly and helpful staff. A wonderful experience. I you like antiques, this is the place to visit.
Was quite interesting. Enjoyed walking through and saw lots of items that stirred memories from the time I grew up. Enjoyed my scone.
Each old cell have beautiful classics furniture and things displayed, all for sale if you like
What a lovely surprise! The jail breakfast was delicious and service amazing. You’re bound to fall in love with this historic building!
Such an awe inspiring piece of antiquity, with tons and tons of history. A lot of things to look at, with tons of things to buy. I can't explain it, but it's my idea of a perfect date;
Food, coffee, antiques, history, art.
History just comes alive here. I absolutely love how they turned every jail c
Carrot was Really Delicious must say the best for 2023 I had 😋
What an experience! A must see
Great service. Welcoming and food. Thanks Maggie for your Friendliness and service well done
Cute find! Glad we stopped by. Very nice setting in the courtyard. I really enjoyed my Toasties and the carrot cake was definitely a hit. The signboard outside doesn't do justice to how quaint it is inside. Worth a stop for lunch in Riversdale if driving down the Garden Route.
Love this old jail!! Lovely friendly owner and staff. Cuppachino and freshly baked scones, njammmm. Nice atmosphere.

Amazing food, fire on a cold day and excellent service and lovely rooms full of things on display to buy. Will come again
