De Oude Martha
Garden Route
At a glance
De Oude Martha is a restaurant at the Tsitsikamma Village Inn in Storms River, a small village setting along South Africa’s Garden Route. Its character is closely linked to the inn’s historic atmosphere, where buildings around a village green reflect architectural styles associated with the Cape Colony during the 1800s.
The restaurant provides a sit-down dining option for travellers exploring the Tsitsikamma area, as well as guests staying at the inn. The setting suits a relaxed meal within a traditional village-style environment rather than a modern, standalone dining room. Historic details and old-world character shape the experience, giving the restaurant a sense of place connected to Storms River’s long-established role as a stop for travellers.
Food is served alongside a selection of fine wine and local beers on tap. The available information presents De Oude Martha as part of the inn’s broader food and drink offering, with a focus on straightforward restaurant dining in a welcoming setting. The menu style is not defined by a particular cuisine in the published venue information, so the restaurant is best described as a general dining venue rather than assigned a specific culinary category.
De Oude Martha works for diners looking for a proper meal during a Garden Route journey, especially those interested in combining food with the atmosphere of a historic Storms River property. It can also suit visitors using the restaurant as part of a wider stop in the Tsitsikamma region, close to the forest and the area’s outdoor attractions. The combination of meals, wine and local beer makes it suitable for both daytime refreshment and a more settled dining occasion, subject to the restaurant’s operating schedule.
As part of the Tsitsikamma Village Inn, De Oude Martha shares the property’s village-based identity and traditional architectural setting. The restaurant is therefore a useful choice for travellers who value atmosphere and location alongside the meal itself. Direct contact with the venue is recommended for current opening times, reservations, group arrangements and any specific dietary or seating requirements.
