Waterford Hall, Karkloof

This garden is nearing maturity, as evidenced by the profusion of well-established roses, shrubs and old-fashioned perennials. At the rear of the house, walk through the Chinese pavilion, up the steps to a columned patio that overlooks the dam, the orchard and the trees beyond. A walkway leads up steps to the white garden – a feast of roses and flowering perennials that line the path, and a domed gazebo. The overall picture of this garden is one of exuberance where cherry trees flower in spring and acers change colour in autumn.

Buy your ticket at the garden gate or at Harcourts Hilton offices.
