Maze and Cactus Gardens

The Sheilam Cacti and Succulent Garden was established in 1954 and has been owned and operated by the Schwegmann family since 1967.
Located along the R62 in Robertson, and boasting approximately 2000 species of plants, the nursery is recognised by authorities as one of the finest collections of specimen plants.

Soekershof Walkabout Maze is different in almost all aspects. Incorporating the world’s largest hedge-maze, succulent gardens and a stone-age cinema, the concepts are almost as weird as the hosts. Open your mind for strange stories, legends and quests. A great activity for families.

Hot Springs

Avalon Springs is beautifully situated at the entrance to Bath Kloof, only 3km outside Montagu. Visitors can enjoy hot pools (said to work miracle cures) at a constant temperature of 43°C. A putt-putt course and children’s play area are also on site.

Historic Tours and Museums

There are various historic tours, walks and museums in every town. Try the Robertson Walkabout or the Montagu Historical Walk, visit the Myrtle Rigg Memorial Church in Bonnievale or the Joubert House in Montagu.

The Francois Krige Studio in Montagu is a must for art lovers – please book before hand for a tour.

Golfing

Robertson Golf Course at Silwerstrand is the only 18-hole golf course in the beautiful ‘Valley of Wine and Roses’. Described as a fun, leisurely course it is extremely golfer friendly, with comfortable walks from tee to green. It has a great mix of long and short holes, with course designer Danie Obermeyer’s signature “rivet faced” bunkers providing punishment for the wayward shot!

Bonnievale and Montagu both have 9 hole courses. Also try Outdoor Arena’s Kaps ‘n Raps course -played on a 9 hole par 3 course on lovely green lawns between the fish ponds.

Fishing

A great outdoor activity for the family. Bass is plentiful – try your luck at the following wineries, all bordering the river: Burcon Wines, Viljoensdrift Wines, Wolvendrift Winery or Weltevrede Estate.
