About
The Cabin is a polarizing spot in Doringbaai. While many rave about the fresh fish and chips and the incredible ocean views, others have had frustrating experiences with slow service and inconsistent food quality. It is a beautiful location that feels like a true West Coast gem when things go right, but management seems to struggle with consistency.
