Guidebook for Stellenbosch
Parks & Nature
Go and explore the beautiful Jonkeshoek Waterfalls. The first waterfall is only a 35 minute easy walk and for the more fit, the second waterfall is about an hour and a half which involves more climbing. Just note that the road that you drive on to get to the hiking trial is pretty rough. Low cars will struggle to get over some rocks and bumps. There is a R40 per person entrance fee.

This is a must see! Dating back to 1692, Babylonstoren is a historic Cape Dutch farm that boasts one of the best preserved farmyards in the Cape. The garden is divided into 15 sections that comprise fruit, vegetables, berries, bees for pollinating, indigenous plants, fragrant lawns, a prickly pear maze, ducks and chickens, and more. A secluded path runs along the stream where thousands of clivias flower in spring. You can finish off at the lovely greenhouse for tea and eats which is a real treat.
