DESCRIPTION OF RUSTENBERG MANOR HOUSE GARDEN

This is a large farm garden set in the surrounds of Cape Dutch buildings. It has a spectacular mountain back drop and wonderful views of the surrounding landscape.

It is a garden with 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 and the Almond Walk are highlights.

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOONGEZICHT GARDEN

This garden is situated adjacent to the Schoongezicht manor house near the wine tasting centre on the estate.

Special features are the 200 year old pergola running the length of the garden and a Chartre 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.
