Stoped here for a milkshake and something to eat. I can’t seem to get my head around what this food house is, cause it does not fit the mound of all the other fancy and excellent Langebaan places. AND the main problem is ... the value for money - it’s poor. I had a small plate of chips that cost me R42.00. Even in a fancy JHB restaurant they don’t charge that much.But the main problem arose when I asked for the bill. Having worked in a till environment before, I think that I am wise to most billing tricks. I was asked to come to the billing screen and pay the amount on the screen, which I thought was way overpriced. Requesting a till slip, I was told that the screen till could not print it and the server had to go inside to get the print out, which, of course, differed by R120.00 from the amount on the screen. Having already had my credit card go through, the server immediately asked if he could refund me in cash, which he took from his pocket. Perhaps a mistake or are you and your guests being scammed?Perhaps you need to take a closer look.

we had a nice lunch and enjoyed the Bitterbalen starter which is a Dutch snack we know very well. can hopefully visit again

Tues, 6th Feb .We arrived for breakfast at about 9:15, opens at 9:00, and waited quite a while for a waiter, despite there being only one other table seated.After another pair, arriving after us, had had their orders taken, we ordered: 5 VOC breakfasts, and coffee.We all remarked on the comment at the bottom of the menu about the current contract holders leaving at the end of Feb!The table that had arrived after us left, rather noisily, and one of our party thought she overheard that there were no eggs for their breakfast.Coffee arrived, and we were finished this, some time after the others had left, when a young waiter arrived, and apologetically told us there were no eggs for breakfast. This was nearly 3/4 hr. after we had arrived!When we confronted a more senior looking waitress, and demanded to see the manager, she was apparently not there. We left, without paying for our coffee.This is appalling mismanagement! Perhaps there is more to the contract being terminated - the job is simply not being done.As I am a teacher of Tourism at a high school, I will use this as a very good example of how NOT to give service in the hospitality industry.Another table of German visitors had not yet been informed of the limits on NO EGGS for breakfast. As I speak German, I let them know..

We have been to Geelbek for breakfast in the past, being regular visitors to the West Coast Reserve. We were first five customers to arrive, order was taken although they did take the order of 2 other people before ours. Our coffee arrived - but no breakfast. approximately half an hour after sitting down a waiter came to tell us that there were no eggs. My Niece told us that she had overheard the waitress telling the 2 women that there were no eggs about 10 minutes before we were told, but thought she had miss heard it. We decided to leave and in doing so, told a German party at another table that there were no eggs. The waitress then told us that those people would be OK as they only wanted 2 cooked breakfasts and there were 4 eggs left - the ones that we were not offered!! We left in disgust. We understand that the current caterers are leaving at the end of February - seems to us that in all practical terms, they have left already. Bitterly disappointed - had to settle for Wimpy toasted cheese instead.

We visit the West Coast national park on a regular basis for the past twenty one years. We use to stop at the Geelbek restaurant to get something to eat and drink but due to the lack of maintenance we have not popped in to the restaurant for more than a year even though we have had many visits to the park during 2017. On the last visit of the year (31/12/2017) we again had a lovely day visiting all the bird hides in the park and just driving thru the park. At lunch time my wife convinced me to go in to the restaurant to see if any changes as been made since our last visit to the restaurant back in November 2016? What a disappointment that after more than a year noting have changed for the better and the service have now deteriorated as well. We order drinks and it took so long that we did not bother to order lunch. I number of other visitors left without receiving any service and people arriving had to find their own open table to sit at. I’m afraid if drastic changes are not made very soon there will not be a restaurant at Geelbek to visit. In all honesty I think it’s very late in the day when signs are put up to justify poor slow service as the tortoises in the park move much faster and with more determinations than whoever is trying manage Geelbek?

We enjoyed our Sunday morning with a drive through the National park. We have never before visited Geelbek restaurant. On our way back from Kraalbaai, we decided to stop for a light lunch. My husband ordered the Venison pie, mom in law ordered quiche and I ordered a chicken sandwich. Presentation was great, served with a great waiter. When my husband took a bite out of his venison pie, he was not so pleasantly surprised with the amount of oil that was in his pie. He tried to finish it as he did not want to waste it. We could recommend using a little less oil in their food. My chicken was nicely prepared with feta on the inside, but it lacked of sauce.Seemed a bit dry on the inside. We visited Geelbek for the first time but will not be back for a second time around.

We visited the West Coast National Park in December - and were disappointed. The wild was howling, we saw no animals and birds were scarce. The highlight of the day was a light lunch at Geekbek. It was very busy, but the service was good and the food was tasty and well presented

Stopped off for a coffee on the way through the park. Geelbek is in a super position and the bird hide is definitely worth a visit.The service was friendly, helpful and timely.

We have been to Geelbek a couple of years ago and we enjoyed our trip there very much. Unfortunately this time around, the food was terrible. We had the bobotie, and when it arrived the bowl of bobotie was swimming in the oil, and the pumpkin tart was definitely from the day before. My son’s chicken strips looked very dodge and really expected a better plate of food. Needless to say, I don’t think we will visit the restaurant again.

We happened on Geelbeck on a hot Sunday morning on our way to Kraalbaai, and had a wonderful lunch in at Geelbeck with our grandchildren. They loved the play area and we loved the Malay curry and lemon pie. Not a fancy or pretentious place, but just right for us. Laid-back And charming. We’ll be back.
