A mere two hour drive from Cape Town, in the heart of the Cape Overberg region lies the little hamlet of Baardskeerdersbos - or B’Bos as locals fondly refer to the area.

Baardskeerdersbos is incorporated by farmlands and hills draped in fynbos. Its rural charm attracts nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike, offering many activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and horseback riding.

Also in B’Bos – and now available to the astute investor looking to settle in the peaceful countryside – is the much loved and well-known Marietjie’s Pub & Grill. Visitors come from all over because they know: a visit to the Overstrand is not seen as complete without a visit to Marietjie’s.

Grab the opportunity to own this lucrative local establishment! The pub and restaurant are being sold voetstoots, and an inventory of the available freestanding assets can be provided on request. The seller is retaining the business name, giving you the opportunity to rebrand and make it your own. The liquor licence is included in the selling price—a major asset for the business.

Baardskeerdersbos thrives as a hub of creativity and attracts an energetic vibe of artists like painters, sculptors, writers, and musicians – all drawn to the country atmosphere and creative inspiration of the town. Marietjie’s is indeed where strangers become family. Everyone gathers here to enjoy a hearty meal, exchange ideas, or just chat over a beer or two.

To keep business afloat during lockdown when the restaurant could not operate, the owner added the farmstall and started selling local produce such as preserves, canned products, cheeses, meat, handcrafts, and more. Like the pub and restaurant, this small beginning also grew into a lucrative operation.

The restaurant can seat around 50 people indoors while there is also an outdoor seating area. The children’s play area keep the little ones busy while parents enjoy their meal. Especially over weekends and during holiday times, Marietjie’s is packed with tourists and locals alike. On such days they easily serve around 250 meals per day and about 200 per day on a busy weekend.

Parking is never a problem at Marietjie’s as there is ample parking available. The locals who prefer it quieter, frequent the restaurant during off-peak season and on weekdays for drinks and something to eat.

Invest in Baardskeerdersbos, make it your new hometown, and soon you will be as local as all the ones who frequent this popular establishment.
