The Scone Shack: freshly baked scones and a taste of humble simplicity

The Scone Shack emanates sincere hospitality. Made almost entirely from windows, it draws the outside world in and allows even the familiar farm animals to join its guests to share the same space. The entire premise is open for creatures and humans alike; you’ll find almost no fenced off areas that detain the roaming farm animals.

In 2018 the Lalaphanzi Succulent Nursery opened on the same farm and the need for The Scone Shack was apparent as visitors needed replenishment after browsing for succulents. The nursery adds to the special atmosphere of The Scone Shack, since you first have to walk through the nursery before you get to the Shack, and the succulent garden immediately sets the tone for the visit: an experience deeply imbedded in nature and country life.

“My friend who is a carpenter had the old sash windows standing around in his garden, so I asked if I could take them and used them to create the conservatory. Everything is made from scraps of wood from around the farm and other repurposed materials. We are completely off the grid: solar power for the electrics and alien wood for the wood burning oven. The oven was designed by a late friend and we use it to bake everything.

“We bake new batches of scones as needed throughout the day. We make all the jams in a potjie on the fire with seasonal fruit and as little sugar as possible. The jams are only for sale from The Scone Shack, along with free range, organic eggs ,” said Odendaal.While visiting The Scone Shack, you’re sure to notice a few friendly animals making their way around the grounds. The pigs love belly scratches, and the chickens and ducks will linger by your feet hoping for a dropped crumb or two.
