1. Yoon’s Eatery
While away an afternoon feasting on views of the macadamia orchards that sprawl out below Yoon’s Eatery windows. The eatery has tall ceilings, hanging plants, and a modern feel. The plating of the food is almost too good to tuck into, although you most definitely will tuck into the delectable dish in front of you.
2. Orange Owl Coffee Shop

You can’t visit White River without a trip to Sabie Valley Coffee at Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre where ‘it’s all about coffee.’
Sabie Valley Coffee began as a coffee-growing business in Hazyview in 1984 by the Buckbridge family. Over time, they realised that the best way to grow the business was through ‘roasting, packing, and distributing [their coffee beans] under their own brand.’ You’ll struggle to choose from their menu of espresso-based drinks, as everything looks so good.
4. Plantsman Eatery
Plantsman Eatery is a must-visit coffee shop in White River, serving only the most delicious Terbedore Coffee and carrot cake. This country-style eatery has ‘hearty food, great vibes, and delicious baked goods’ and is kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and a great country lunchtime escape.
