Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town – known the world over for its beauty and diversity in floral life is an easy, scenic drive from Simonstown Guesthouse. 528 Hectares of cultivated gardens, natural forests and Fynbos makes this botanical garden unique in that it only allows plants indigenous to South Africa to be cultivated.
An indoor greenhouse supports species which are sensitive to climate change while outside; themed areas include the Water-wise, Fragrance and Medicinal gardens which help to educate visitors and enhance the Environmental Education Program already being implemented.
Visitors looking for some adventure can climb Skeleton Gorge to the top of Table Mountain or follow one of the many marked trails meandering through the gardens and natural forests on the lower mountain slopes. The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town has four restaurants which offer an array of food items and function venues while summer concerts on the lawns are extremely popular and shouldn’t be missed while staying with us at Simonstown Guesthouse.
