It’s a road trip that many of us know like the back of our hands. Reminders of childhood holidays when “are we there yet” was the soundtrack from the back seat, on repeat. No holiday road trip was complete without that long-awaited stop for a toasted sarmie or burger. Here are some of our favourite rest stops as you make your way from the crazy bustle of Joburg to the laid-back seaside splendour of Durbs: • Engen Vaal 1 Stop, Villiers: When half way is just a little too long to wait for a pit stop, grab an early coffee • Engen Bergview 1 Stop, Harrismith: Fuel up, stretch your legs and choose from plenty of delicious meal and coffee options. And their gardens are bloomin’ great too! • Little Church Tea Garden, Van Reenen: Something different from the bigger, busier rest stops, and the tiny church is a well-known land mark. • Montrose Shell Ultra City: Get Van Reenen’s done first, fill up, and enjoy a well-earned break at Montrose for anything from coffee and cake to fish and chips.
