Old Nectar Gardens
The Pergola Garden at The Old Nectar Gardens offers a serene escape, where roses, climbers, and flowering bushes surround you. Visitors can relax on the inviting benches, taking in the fragrance and beauty of the blooms. A walk through The Round Rose Garden reveals a stunning collection of hybrid tea roses, with the circular memorial bench providing a peaceful spot to rest and reflect.
As you meander along The Magnolia Walk, you’ll be enveloped in the shade of magnolia and elm trees, creating a canopy that leads from the rose garden to the bell tower and lily dam. The Front Garden, with its gorgeous paths bordered by terraced lawns, is a visual feast of colorful flowers, a Victorian-tiled ornamental pond, and several impressive trees.
In The Bench Garden, azaleas, miniature Japanese maples, birch trees, and magnolia trees surround a comfortable tiled bench, making it the perfect place to sit and soak in the garden’s beauty. The Millstone Terrace, adorned with a millstone dating back to the 19th century, combines historical charm with the loveliness of oak trees and a rhododendron bush.
The Waterfall Garden features a beautiful stretch of lawn that connects the dining terraces to the lily ponds, all fed by the waterfall mountain stream. This tranquil setting is ideal for a leisurely stroll or a moment of quiet contemplation. Lastly, The Indigenous Garden showcases the stunning diversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom, featuring some of the most beautiful native plants of the region. Each “room” at The Old Nectar Gardens offers a unique experience, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in natural splendor.
