We have since been blessed with three beautiful surfer girls who are all hands on in the family business when not competing or just surfing!

About Dassiesfontein:

We run a fully licensed restaurant that serves traditional “boerekos” seven days a week. We are famous for our large portions and value for money. Our restaurant can comfortably seat 75 people and is available for private functions.

At Dassiesfontein we grind our own flour on the farm, and our famous loaves of farm bread are freshly baked
at the restaurant in an old wood stove.

We specialise in a unique collection of cast iron wood stoves. Not only are these stoves beautiful to look at, but they are also practical. At Dassiesfontein we use them on a daily basis to bake our famous farm bread. They are available in a variety of sizes to fit every room. Among our most popular are the Laduma, the Queen Ann and the Defy Dover wood stoves.

Ride Leader : Peter Saunders

Concept: This is a monthly, last Thursday of the month (usually tar) ride and it is known as the ROF ride as in “Retired Old Friends”. You don’t have to be “retired” (it helps though…) but just have the time available to join a ride with some good company and experience the freedom of the ride with some friends followed by a brunch stop.

Meals: For own account

Ride Details: Details are shared early in the same week that the ride takes place. Peter Saunders (ROF2) will send a whatsapp message on the members group to share the details in terms of meeting point, brief route and destination.

Meet at Departure Point: Normally 10h00 to depart 10h30
