This nature reserve did not look anything like the pictures online. Online it speaks about being wheelchair friendly but the path that we were on was definitely not wheelchair friendly. Its a very small nature reserve and we completed the walk in 10 minutes

Not a very big place, but still beautiful and quiet but for the birds chirping. Totally free of charge too.

We were greeted at the gate by the park ranger who is there over weekends from 9am. Entrance was free of charge and the reserve consists of a handful short trails (all less than 1km). The reserve gives nice views of the Durbanville Race Course. In terms of bird life species we saw Cape Sparrow, Southern Double-Collared Sunbird, Cape Weaver, Southern Masked Weaver, African Sacred Ibis, Helmeted Guineafowl. We had a special encounter with the Southern Double-Collared Sunbird male as it responded to our bird calls and spent time close to us. You can do a thorough tour of the reserve in less than a hour. Overall the reserve is very small, lacks water resources and the picnic sites are not being maintained. Still a pleasant visit (2.5 stars)

Perhaps I went there with high expectations that's why I was disappointed. Unless you have a specific interest in wild flowers there's literally nothing else to see. We could hear some birds but we did not actually see them. My kids called it "the most boring trail ever" and I agree it was boring and uneventful and the walking trails are very short we were done in less than 20 minutes even with a 2 year old in tow. The picnic area though nice is not being maintained and we couldn't see any bins in sight and had to take our rubbish in the car.

Pretty small but good place for small gatherings

I would not call it a nature reserve. It really needs attention. Maybe once upon a time it was a nice place.

Nice place to go for a walk. There are beautiful protea to admire and some tortoises. Great for a little picnic too.
