Situated in Klaasvoogds West, in the Roberston Wine region, Mo & Rose is a wine bistro and boutique guest house. We needed to eat dinner after our champagne ‘making’ at Weltevrede and we asked the guest house owner for a suggestion. There is only one place to eat in Bonnievale and this did not really meet our expectation of a decent dinner out. We were told at Weltevrede to try Mo & Rose and so we took a drive and hoped for the best. The setting is stunning and the area tranquil and serene, and we could not have asked for a better night to spend dining under the stars. It was not the warmest of evenings but I was given a blanket to wrap around myself to keep warm. Overall, our evening was very pleasant.
