Lovely place to visit if you want experience all nature has to offer in George. You have lively views of the mountains and the gardens are well maintained.

A beautiful young botanical garden that has had alot of start up effort put into it. There are still sections were alot of new plants are planted. Many benches and rest spots. Toilets available in the entrance area. And some paths are wheelchair friendly. It is still a fairly newer botanical garden but there are alot of different growing trees, flowers and shrubs etc. to see, and a great presence of birds (even in winter when I went). One thing that stood out is that dogs are allowed on this property. And it seems management have ensured there are multiple poop scoop stations. Despite this were were still some irresponsible dog owners who have left the feaces of their pets unattended. Dogs are only allowed in certain areas. A very affordable R20 entrance. Great picnic spots too. For an additional entrance fee you can also go and see the Birds of Prey rehab center, an enclosed park within the botanical garden.

Nice place to go for a walk or picnic. Dogs allowed. Entrance fee charged at gate. There is a tea garden, bird of prey sanctuary and nursery at the gardens as well. Tea garden and nursery is accessible without having to pay entrance fee. Lots of parking. Nursery and resident notanist very helpful to give advice on indigenous plants. Sometimes there are live concerts in the park.

Beautiful nature experience. Only @ R20 pp. Had a beautiful 2 hour walk with my fiance, taking loads of beautiful pictures, meeting very kind & helpful staff and breathing in the freshest mountain air.

Loved this place. Nice place to chill. Nature all around you.

Stunning walk around the gardens. Joined in the parkrun as a walker and then spent time afterward meandering through the garden itself. Absolutely stunning!

I'm disappointed...expecting much more... At least the bathroom facilities were clean and well kept.. As for the rest, we did not enjoy the experience and were left dissatisfied and a bit disappointed.

Excellent place to visit and bird. Great varietuly of habitats and walks. Some of it pet friendly, ature reserve section not accessible to dogs. Free access kids under 12. Adults R20. Bring refreshments and comfy walking shoes

Very friendly staff very nice place to visit

Best peaceful place to be in George, most helpful and knowledgeable people working there.

It is only R20 entry per person. Beautiful views and easy walking paths for a lovely afternoon out.

Very scenic, has a lot of bird life. Very nice for a relaxing walk in nature if you want to escape for awhile. The restaurant serves very good coffee. And you can bring your dog's here as long as they are on lead.

Beautiful gardens, neat, clean and peaceful. Nice birdlife. Great café. Entrance fee is very reasonable. Allows dogs and has a few areas where they can run off leash. Can really recommend to anyone in the area!

Beautiful scenery with an absolutely stunning garden.

Really enjoyed it, forest walk is awesome. Amazing tranquility and Well maintained.If you take is closer look the species diversity is amazing.

Such an amazing place, always neat as a pin. The most beautiful short trails and fauna and flora to appreciate up close.

Marshmallow Cafe has some of the best food, excellent service and the most amazing milkshakes.

The picnic area and the fact thatdogs are allowed is a great plus. The view of the mountains is truly beautiful. The bird hide is also in a great spot.

Absolutely gorgeous! The view over the water was breathtaking. We sat on a bench eating our McDonald's takeout and just enjoyed the view. The bird life is abundant and there's beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. They also have restrooms and a nice green patch of grass for having a picnic or playing some ball. Very relaxing outing and only R20 pp to enter.

Dog friendly, beautiful plants, picnic area and an on site italian restaurant. What more can one ask for?

We went to the Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Centre. The payment for entrance was sketchy and the grounds were very muddy after all the rainy days. The young man who was our guide is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and is passionate about this cause. The birds vary depending on rehabilitation but some residents are permanent because of injury. A worthy cause to support and gain more knowledge about indigenous raptors. The Gardens are beautiful, but were a little flooded. Some sections were too bogged down to walk in, like the Mushroom Meander. It is a wonderfully relaxing place. If you keep your eyes open you see all sorts of precious things.

Beautiful scenery. Amazing walk through nature. Definitely recommend. Try and come in the rainy seasons or just after that it's nice and green🌳

Amazing views & birds chirping = piece of heaven 🌄🐦🌳🌈😎

It was a pleasant hour and half in tranquil surroundings but not enough to make a detour to get there.

Peaceful and tranquil for all.

Loved seeing the lush place and returning for a night expedition with the challenge of spotting creatures. My only wish is that others visiting would show respect by not shouting and yelping so much to disturb the wildlife.

Medium size park. Few visitors. Not free. The parks has a lot of good ideas to preserve different types of local trees. Needs improvement.

What an amazing venue to visit. All nature, fresh air and freedom to roam about outdoors. Was very nice walking the medicine wheel and learning what plants are good for what ailments. The bird watch was also a treat even though we only spotted two birds.

Tranquility at its very best. So much to learn about our fauna and flora. Great stuff

An wonderful park with lots of nature, great for dog walks and picnics. I would recommend supporting the park as they are the host to the weekly park run along with being an excellent safe escape into nature for the George residents and visitors.

There is a great restaurant nearby, you can also visit the endangered birds with a tour guide. The parks are open for your dog, bird watching can also be done. All the support goes for a very good cause. Ample parking also. And very safe.

Very peaceful and beautiful. Clear view of the mountains. Was a bit dry after the winter. Worth a visit!

Lovely safe place to go for a stroll... unfortunately you do have to pay. Buying a yearly entrance is the best option

Just plain beautiful, amazing views, sounds and smells. Nature at it's best

Good environment for just walking and sitting with family or Friends and also clean

Lovely afternoon with beautiful surroundings - well worth it and highly recommended!

Great place to run/walk/picnic. R20pp, pet friendly.

Beautiful scenery with breathtaking views, R20 for day visitors and R80 for the Bird Sanctuary a must see when visiting George 😀, Picnic areas , very dog friendly , restrooms available and lots of walking so pack snacks and refreshments.

Beautiful place to take a walk or take your dog on a lead for a walk in the peaceful and lush gardens. The backdrop of the Outeniqua mountains is spectacular. The medicine mound is informative and the entry fee is fair. There is also a birdwatching area, toilets onsite, and a nice tea garden next door.

Far away from the urban jungle, this gem of a place is conveniently located above the MRT and is great for picnics and Instagram shots. Come in the evening and experience the beauty of nature.

Train track

Beautiful.....

Fine place

My first trip here in many years. A lot of time, effort and love has been put in to upgrading the gardens. Lovely day out.

Needs a bit of up keep

Lovely place to visit. Very well maintained with lots of beautiful things to see. Nice spot for a afternoon walk.

Safe outdoot walking, biking

Beautiful gardens , great that you can take your dogs there

A highly underestimated venue for all!

For walks band relaxing

Beautiful gardens and so much plant life to observe. Pity we didn't have much time. Great for avid birdwatchers

Staff was very friendly. Currently the admission fee is R10 for persons 12 and older. Garden is very well looked after. We even found a baby chameleon.

Beautiful place to walk and you can buy well-priced indigenous plants at their nursery.

Very well managed Botanical Gardens. A safe place to bring your kids to explore nature and a great birding spot!

Grand kids had so many options of activities.. And Good Food!! 👌👌

Nice for a bit of a walk among nature, maintenance in the gardens are a little low though and could do with improvement.

Always great for Indigenous plants

Need a lot better organization movie night started bad and went to a friends 1st birthday that was booked and paid for to only be rudely said to move they also booked, NOT NICE !!

Lovely gardens maintained for a priveleged few. All dogs on leashes except for a small area. So many rules posted all over. Seems dogs are not really welcome.

Lovely spot for a walk or a picnic.

Nature at its best.

A beautiful Garden set at the foot of Outeniqua Mts.

The Singapore Botanical Garden, a Masterpiece well structured, perfectly maintained, educational and enjoyable! Doesn’t matter how often you go!! Established in 1859 and growing since than it is with 82 hectares, located in the heart of the city, one of our ‘green lungs’. It became an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. It’s full of beautiful laid walkways, rest areas, Theme Gardens, exhibitions, educational areas, lakes a music Pavilion and most famous the National Orchid Garden.

Nice retreat in central location.

Beautiful and well looked after!

Good place in George

Excellent service. Wow experience

The gardens has many name-plates, attached to the plants, which explain geographic spread of the plants in the African continent, the uses of the trees for various purposes and also the early traditional uses by indigenous inhabitants and early settlers. A fascinating area named the medicine wheel, is a preservation space for trees and plants used for ages as herbs to cure a myriad of ailments and used for other purposes as well. Next to the nursery area sprawls a dense forest, which is still work - in development. It is cross- crossed by walking trails that reveal a variety of vegetation, especially trees, shrubs and flowers. The ground is moist and the humid air is punctuated by pleasant scents from the vegetation. A great effort is made to keep the place alive and pleasant.

Marshmallow Cafe. To die for milkshakes

Love visiting this place

Beautiful. There should be doggy poo bags provided in the R 20pp entrance fee. It is a wonderful place to enjoy with our four legged friends and one of few were they can run freely at the top section of the park.

Good

(Translated by Google) Lovely evening with all the nocturnal animals of the garden. Co-entrepreneurs' turnout was overwhelming. Special thanks to Garden Route Snake removers and Garden Route Birds of Prey for their excellent performances. (Original) Heerlike aand saam met al die naggediertetjies van die tuin. Mede besigteraars se opkoms was oorweldigend. Besonderse dank aan Garden Route Snake removers en Garden Route Birds of Prey vir hul uitstekende vertonings.
