Three times winner of Best Large Garden in Durban, this 30 year old garden is framed by the Palmiet River with picturesque towering cliffs of riverine forest.
Inspired by Geoff Nichols, the garden has a mixture of both indigenous and exotic plants, with great emphasis on attracting butterflies and birds. Over the years the bird count has grown to 135 species, including a nesting pair of Crowned Eagles, and more than 150 species of butterflies.
