For Garden Route locals, the long weekend in Knysna comes with a familiar energy.
The Simola Hillclimb brings the buzz, and The Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa is matching it with a line-up of easy, no-fuss specials worth stepping out for.
Good food, well-priced drinks, and a familiar spot to enjoy the Hillclimb atmosphere without the rush.
- From Thursday to Saturday, 30 April to 2 May, The Gastro Pub hosts a race weekend happy hour from 18:00 to 19:00. It’s a straightforward deal: half-price drinks, excluding cocktails, and a good excuse to meet up after a day in town.
- On Friday, 1 May, the Workers’ Day special keeps things simple and satisfying. For R220, guests can settle in for a sirloin steak with chips or salad, plus a beer or cider on tap. It’s available at Island Café from 12:00 and in The Gastro Pub from 14:00, making it an easy lunch or laid-back dinner option.
- Saturday leans into comfort with the Pit Stop Burger Special at The Gastro Pub. For R210, two generous Gastro cheeseburgers are served with chips, featuring 200g patties, melted cheddar, and red onion marmalade. It runs from 14:00 to 21:30 and is made for a relaxed afternoon that turns into evening.
