How to Find Secret Forest Café?
Finding the café can be a bit of a challenge, but it is worth it. The property is at the end of the wooden bridge adjacent to Lower Tokai Park, which is the fynbos part of the forest. The best way to find it is to park at Tokai Lion’s Club parking lot and take the first path on the left. Walk directly across the forest with Elephant’s Eye behind you while keeping left all the way. Eventually, you will reach a long gray wall, where you’ll find the café.
