"Vanaand baie lekker geëet by The Rustic Dog in Grootbrak. Tone in die sand, lekker sagte T-bone, heerlike hake, en 'n ma-se burger. Alles vinnig voorberei en vriendelik bedien. Doen so voort julle!"

Groot Brak Ferry

Explore the historical little town of Great Brak River on a ferry boat and immerse yourself in birdwatching. We embark from the Rustic Dog Restaurant next to the Whatson shoe factory for a leisurely trip along the riverbanks to the N2 highway and back again to the restaurant.
