Five Star Elegance in the Waterberg
At Fifty Seven Waterberg we like to make our food within the same concept that nature operates; it is authentic, maintains an easy-going pace, with an element of surprise. Not forgetting that as the seasons change, so do we, to evolve, yet maintaining a strong focus on healthy ingredients and quality meals.

In the bush
Begin your day in the heart of the wilderness with our unforgettable bush breakfast. When weather allows, and on a select morning each week, guests are treated to fresh pastries, seasonal fruits, chilled juices — or a hearty hot breakfast prepared on-site by our chefs.
As birdsong fills the air and the bush comes alive around you, this is more than a meal, it’s a sunrise experience unlike any other.
57 Dining
Our menus follow the rhythm of the seasons, guided by what flourishes in our surroundings. South African produce, distinct to this landscape, is celebrated through a philosophy of minimalism, allowing each ingredient to reveal its purest flavour.
By working closely with neighbouring farms and limiting imports, we create a hyper-local dining experience that is authentic, dynamic, and ever-evolving with nature’s pace.
The chef’s kitchen
Our kitchen is where values and craft meet. Every plate reflects who we are — as individuals and as a team. Respect, humility, kindness, and integrity shape how we cook, serve, and grow. While traditions ground us, innovation keeps us evolving.
Above all, the kitchen is a place to cultivate talent — where chefs mentor, learners grow, and excellence is passed on to the next generation.
Starlit boma
Boma nights are a feast for the senses. Firelight flickering, stars overhead, and the wilderness all around. Gathered in the open air, we share hearty meals prepared over flames, celebrating bold flavours and the spirit of the Waterberg.
It is more than dining, it is connection, story, and memory made under African skies.

WHERE THE STARS ARE EVEN BRIGHTER
Set in the heart of the magnificent Welgevonden Game Reserve, Fifty Seven Waterberg is more than a destination, it is a haven of peace and renewal. This malaria-free sanctuary, part of the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere, offers 35,000 hectares of wilderness where Africa’s most iconic wildlife roams free and creation’s beauty is untouched.
