The best pancakes in town! Please visit the Old Toll House and learn about the history of the Montagu Pass. It is run by volunteers and you'll be able to purchase two pancakes (served with cinnamon and sugar, and a slice of lemon on the side) and coffee for a R40 donation. It is well worth the drive!
