Rustenberg Manor House Garden

Rustenberg Manor House Garden and Schoongezicht Manor House Garden

Friday 1 – Sunday 3 November 2024

This is a large farm garden set in the surrounds of Cape Dutch buildings. It has a spectacular mountain backdrop and wonderful views of the surrounding landscape. The garden has many mature trees and is essentially ‘English’ in style, with a strong focus on heritage roses and perennials. The space is divided into a series of rooms, each with a distinctive planting scheme and character. The Sunken Garden, Vegetable Garden, and Almond Walk are highlights.

Schoongezicht Garden

This garden is adjacent to the Schoongezicht Manor House near the wine-tasting centre on the estate. Special features include the 200-yearold pergola running the length of the garden and a Chartres-style labyrinth set amongst the flower borders. The borders are filled with roses, foxgloves and many interesting perennials. It also features a wonderful pond and is divided using hedges and paths. The Simonsberg Mountain and the fields beyond provide the borrowed landscape.

Note: There is open water, so children must be supervised at all times.
