The Sandbar

Where Legends Are Made

In the crook of the Bushman’s River, the tide pushes inland, over the marsh, past the famous Sandbar Floating Restaurant.

A deep hush surges from the bush. To the left, a secret enclave where the first peoples would have met up for nights of dancing, singing, stories and gifting.

All is pristine. Flawless. There is a muted magic in the undergrowth. Silence.

No wind here in this deep bowl of ancient dunes.

The Venue

“I am warmed by good guitar from an intelligent sound system. I am here. On The Sandbar. Visiting the liminal space where at last I could understand Bonny’s enduring love affair with this place.”

We had an incredible time we had this weekend on the boat! The friendly and incredibly efficient staff provided a mouth watering chicken curry as well as a vegetarian options.Another fantastic event on Saturday night, everyone clapping and singing along and stomping their feet. The prawns were among the best we have ever eaten!! Truly outstanding!

Sumptuous position on the graceful Boesmansrivier, the Floating Restaurant serves scrumptious food and has a well-stocked bar. Under new management this spot has a very cool vibe: boat in, drive in, cycle in, walk in - whichever way you get in, just make sure you go there!
