De Oude Martha
Eastern Cape
At a glance
De Oude Martha is a restaurant at the Tsitsikamma Village Inn in Stormsrivier, a village setting associated with historic Cape architectural styles and old-world character. The restaurant forms part of a wider hospitality destination where accommodation, dining and local drinks are brought together in one property.
The setting gives De Oude Martha a traditional hotel dining character rather than a casual roadside takeaway feel. The surrounding village-style buildings reflect the look of the Cape Colony during the 1800s, creating a period-inspired backdrop for a sit-down meal. Its location also makes it relevant to travellers passing through the Tsitsikamma area, as well as guests staying in the village.
The restaurant serves meals alongside fine wine and local beers on tap. The wider property includes three dining venues, giving the Tsitsikamma Village Inn a varied food and drink offering, while De Oude Martha provides the more established restaurant setting within that collection. The menu style is best described simply as restaurant dining, with the available source material not tying it to one particular national or regional cuisine.
Local beer adds a clear Tsitsikamma connection to the dining experience. The property’s microbrewery produces ales using water from its own well, barley and hops, and offers a rustic place to enjoy locally made beer. That makes De Oude Martha a natural choice for a meal paired with a regional brew or a glass of wine.
De Oude Martha suits visitors seeking a proper meal during a Stormsrivier stop, hotel guests wanting to dine on site, and travellers exploring the Eastern Cape section of the Garden Route. It also works for diners who appreciate historic surroundings, a traditional village atmosphere and a choice of locally produced drinks. The setting is more suited to a relaxed meal than a quick grab-and-go visit.
For practical planning, the restaurant is located at the Tsitsikamma Village Inn in Stormsrivier, postal code 6940. Reservations, group arrangements, dietary requests and seating preferences can be checked through the venue’s contact and booking channels before arrival.
