So I will be frank from the beginning - what I'm sharing with you today for @tattoodjay's Wednesday Walk Challenge is not just 5 blocks away from my home.
No, the Doghouse Craft Cafe at Yellowwood Forest is about an hour's drive down the South Coast of KZN, so we had to do the first lap by car before we could get out our walking shoes.
We walked a short nature trail to one of the two bass dams through the beautiful Yellowwood Private Nature Reserve which is just off the Main Road outside the little seaside town of Pennington, which is becoming a favourite of ours by the way ;)
This tranquil dam is a stone's throw from the restaurant called the Doghouse Craft Cafe.
Gorgeous and tranquil it was, and we will definitely be back as our son is a keen freshwater fisherman, so will take a drive down there next time he comes for a visit.
We were starving by the time we finished our walk and headed straight for the Doghouse Craft Cafe which also is the home of Bassett Breweries who are making a name for themselves in the local craft beer industry.
We saw some real quaint crafty touches here.
This restaurant is a real gem with many different open areas as well as indoor seating, truly a little piece of paradise as the owner said - we sat under the Avocado tree that had big eyes, a huge nose and a funny big mouth and teeth as well!
There were some Avocados on the tree and I asked if we could keep one if it fell on us, the answer was yes, but unfortunately, or fortunately, that did not happen :)
A nice big juicy homemade burger with an onion marmalade was just the thing to quell the hunger pangs, accompanied by an ice cold craft beer.

This little guy kept an eye on us and made sure we did not spoil the benefits of our walk by overindulging, he certainly had his job cut out for him as they have a real tempting menu!
Had to make a run for it after that long glass of beer ;)
Promised I would show all of you the Bassett Breweries product range - besides craft beer they also produce fruit infused Gins, some with edible glitter, a real party treat and we took some back home!
