At Oaklands, we firmly believe that good food is an essential part of any countryside getaway experience. Indulge in long, leisurely meals prepared by our expert staff, while you take in the stunning views and absorb the tranquil atmosphere of the Central Drakensberg.
The Oaklands Way
We believe that by taking responsibility for the creation, cultivation and processing of our food, we have an opportunity to make a difference to the quality of our health, the quality of our environment and the quality of our community.
The Cultured Whey
This is an ancient food preparation technique where milk products, vegetables, grains, fruits and meats are fermented and preserved through the lacto-fermenting process.
