The Setting

Three kilometres down the road is Caversham Mill Restaurant.  This delightful restaurant is situated on the banks of the Lions River, overlooking a waterfall. When the river is in full flow, the noise of the water rushing by is immense.  While sitting on the deck of the restaurant it is often possible to watch a Kingfisher bird hunting or the Yellowfish trying to jump the waterfall while you sip red wine and eat a superb meal.  Caversham Mill Restaurant is the “Cradle of the Meander” as it was in 1984, on this premises, that the idea for the Midlands Meander was born and became a reality. Caversham Mill Restaurant is thus situated in the heart of the Midlands Meander, which is packed with arts and craft shops offering a large variety of beautiful hand-made goods. Access to the Caversham Mill Restaurant is so easy – turn right out of Midlands Forest Lodge and travel for 3km.  You will see this lovely restaurant on your right as you go over the second bridge.
