Lovely setting and access to great boat cruises, but the rest is best left unsaid. Give it a miss and go to Ville Verde, Black Forrest or Franco's instead.

It is a really lovely setting. The boat cruise on Spirit of Jen was nice. Unfortunately, on two occasions when we went there, they had some functions happening and it was very crowded and not to our liking. Maybe the should consider closing the venue for the public if they have a private party going on. We had a late... More

Needed to entertain some important clients we have in the Vaal. I live in Sandton so was not familiar with restaurants in the Vaal, so I asked the clients where they would like to be taken and they mentioned a place called Stonehaven on Vaal. It is just out of the main town and on the banks of the Vaal... More

We went for the lovely Sunday buffet, and it was JUST devine!! The selection of starters, mains and desserts were exquisite!! The quality of service and food made me very patriotic!!!... More

The restaurant occupies a great position near the Vaal river in the rather quaint Stonehaven development. From the front it looks almost like a Swiss chalet, with a beautiful display of roses. It's very nicely done out inside too with a fishing theme to it. There's also a bar adjacent. I was a bit disappointed by the food, it wasn't... More

On Sunday the 5th of February, my 2 girl friends and I booked a ticket for the Sunday Luncheon Buffet Cruise at Stonehaven on Vaal as we wanted to get away from Joburg and spend a day at the Vaal River. We arrived late but the Captain graciously waited for us (and a couple of other passengers that were late!)... More

I just want to thank all Stonehaven staff for a wonderful day out. I was blown away by the stunning table setting,personalised birthday card and wonderful service that we received. I could not have asked for a better view, right on the banks of the river. All our guests had a wonderful time. Thanks again for making our day so... More

My kids were able to play on the jumping castle and jungle gym while my husband and I could just relax drinking delicious milkshakes!! We are now going to make it a... More

Went for a breakfast buffet. Buffet was overpriced. Food lukewarm and not appetising. Had to find a waiter each time I needed something. The venue is very pretty, but you leave with a bitter taste in your mouth and a feeling that you have been cheated out of your cash.

We visited on Sunday afternoon during an extended weekend cruising on the Vaal. The restaurant was extremely busy when we arrived, with bouncy castles and a buffet on the lawn. We stopped mainly as it was a hot day and we were told there was a pool for the kids. The pool was small and the kids refused to go... More
