For those who love gardens, birdlife or walking in a pretty environment, the Harold Porter Botanical Garden is well worth visiting. This SANBI run garden is on the slopes of the Kogelberg at the eastern edge of Betty’s Bay. Paths explore the region’s indigenous plant life. Picnic spots are plentiful and there’s a tearoom and a nursery.
“This lovely garden is situated in the centre of the coastal fynbos where the flora is at its richest. It encompasses mountain slopes with wind-clipped heathlands, deep gorges with relict forests, flats and marshes with restios, sedges and bulbs, as well as dunes adjacent to the beach with specialised salt-adapted plants. The Garden is renowned for its waterfalls and amber pools.” SANBI
There are various paths. Try the Leopard Kloof Trail- a 3km return walk leading through fern forests and up to a waterfall. You’ll need to pay a key deposit (R50) and get your key and permit before 2pm.
