Perfect place for an afternoon stroll - even in the drizzling rain. The gardens are a decent size with two beautiful ponds, a forest and the backdrop of mountains. Really relaxing and lovely to be in nature.

Absolutely beautiful! Lots of vegetation and wildlife. You could take a walk in the mushroom meander and explore the gardens beauty.
The Garden Route Botanical Garden is an indigenous garden at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountain in George. There are several routes one can take from a short 5-minute walk to a 5 kilometre Park Run and many more. The garden is beautiful and one can see that work is being done on the garden. A lovely outing and great place to take kids for a walk.
We had lunch at the restaurant, the gardens were closed on this day. The teëstaan had a nice playground for kids and the food was good. The place was neat and clean and waited was friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff and well kept grounds. A pleasant visit indeed. And dog friendly!

They also have a small venue next to Marshmallow Cafe that can be rented for R100 an hour and you can make use of the Cafe's menu or take your own snacks.
