South Coast Dining Guide
The Range Cafe
Tucked away within the lush greenery of Pennington on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, The Range Café is more than just a coffee stop - it’s a local favorite that perfectly blends relaxed vibes, quality food, and scenic views of the South Coast Driving Range. Whether you’re a golfer taking a break between swings, a holidaymaker exploring the area, or a local looking for your next cozy coffee spot, The Range Café is a must-visit destination.
Where Nature Meets Community
Located just off Elsie Coles Road, The Range Café offers a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere that embodies the warmth of South Coast hospitality. It sits adjacent to the South Coast Driving Range - a popular practice space for golf enthusiasts of all skill levels - making it a natural hub for those who love sport, fresh air, and good company.
While golfers tee off nearby, visitors can unwind under shaded outdoor seating areas or relax inside the comfortable café space. With soft breezes, birdsong, and views of the range, The Range Café offers a tranquil backdrop for both solo moments and social catch-ups.
Coffee, Bites & Sweet Treats
The café proudly serves Wild Coffee SA, a locally roasted and ethically sourced brand that has become a talking point in the region. Whether you're in the mood for a rich cappuccino, a strong espresso, or a creamy iced latte on a warm day, The Range Café's baristas deliver each cup with care and consistency.
But it’s not just about coffee. The menu features a small but delightful selection of light meals, homemade cakes, and freshly prepared snacks. From toasted sandwiches and wraps to daily specials and sweet treats baked on-site, there's something for everyone - especially if you're after quality without the fuss.
A Local Favorite
One of the café’s standout features is its community vibe. Frequented by locals and travelers alike, it has quickly earned a reputation as one of Pennington’s coziest nooks. It's common to see friends catching up over muffins, parents enjoying a peaceful cuppa while kids practice their golf swing, or digital nomads making use of the peaceful space to work remotely.
And if you're not into golf? No problem. The Range Café welcomes all visitors - no clubs required.
📞 Plan Your Visit
The Range Café is open mid-week and some weekends, depending on local events and tournaments. It’s a great spot to grab a takeaway coffee or linger a while and take in the relaxed pace of South Coast living.
