This beautiful, secluded Garden is set between mountain and sea, in the heart of the Cape fynbos region, and comprises 10 ha of cultivated fynbos garden and 190 ha of pristine natural fynbos. The Garden encompasses mountain slopes and deep gorges with relict forests, flats and marshes, as well as dunes adjacent to the beach with their specialised salt-adapted plants. The Garden is renowned for its waterfalls and amber pools and boasts Disa uniflora in its natural habitat (flowering from mid-December to end of January).

There are approximately 88 species of birds, including the Orange-Breasted Sunbird and the rare Protea Canary. Wildlife includes mongooses, porcupines and genets. Indigenous plants, souvenirs and books are on sale. The Garden has several kilometres of nature trails, which provide scenic views. New developments will include a new, larger restaurant as well as two halls, which may be hired for various events and conferences. Refreshments are on sale at the Garden Tuck shop.
