Refuel with a Bobotie Pie at Houw Hoek Pass

Garden Route, South Africa

Take a break at Houw Hoek Pass: with hearty pies, local pastries and views – a real foodie stop along the N2.

What you can experience here

Are you driving through Houw Hoek Pass near Grabouw? Then you really should stop at the charming Houw Hoek Farmstall. For me, this place is one of the small but special highlights of a road trip through the Western Cape – not just because of the wonderful view, but above all because of the fantastic food!

This is real soul food: freshly baked bread, sweet pastries, local fruit and – my absolute favourite – the hearty pies. There’s a wide choice, but the Bobotie Pie is always a must for me personally! Warm, spicy, perfectly seasoned – South African comfort food at its best.

Whether for a quick breakfast, a filling snack or a relaxed lunch with views of the surrounding mountains – the farmstall is a real foodie spot. If you’re travelling on the N2, this small detour is definitely worth it.
