Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden

This glorious inner-city garden is an unsung Stellenbosch sight and well worth a wander. Themed gardens include a bonsai area and tropical glasshouse, and there's a host of indigenous plants. For those not mad about botany, it's a peaceful place to walk and there's a pleasant tea garden for coffee, cake or a light lunch (mains R55 to R130).
