This is worth the stop. Lovely Karoo hospitality and professional, friendly staff. Amazing view. Don't forget to buy a piece of milk tart, you will not forgive yourself if you don't.
Famous lamb pies, fresh roosterkoek, deluxe coffee and a slice of milk tart you won't forgive yourself for skipping. Stretch your legs, unleash your dog and take in the view.
Karoo Padstal sits on Farm Kantfontein beside the N1 near Richmond, in an old farmhouse with wide views over the Karoo.
Inside you'll find a deli counter, a farm shop full of local crafts, gifts and Karoo treats, and a lounge with big windows looking out over the veld.
Outside there's a garden full of poppies, shady seating under the pergola and plenty of space for the dogs. Fresh air, clean toilets and a warm welcome from our team.


Sit down for a proper meal or grab padkos for the road.




"This Karoo padstal is exactly what you hope to find on a road trip. The lamb curry was absolutely delicious and comforting, and the roosterkoek was fresh and soft."Google review

The perfect stop on a long drive between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The lamb curry was absolutely delicious and comforting, and the roosterkoek was fresh and soft.
Lovely staff. The best place to stop between Jozi and Cape Town. Coffee is very good. We always stop for lamb pies and amazing farm-shop goodies.
On the N1 between Richmond and Hanover, halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
