I love visiting every now and then. With R40 entrance it is more than worth it. There are lots of shaded benches, some with tables, perfect for picnics or just a relaxed gathering with friends or family. There is a lovely restaurant for light meals. And clean bathrooms. Definitely a place to visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
An absolutely spectacular and edifying experience. The afrikaans language is unique and newish and this monument taught me much about its origin and rich history. The monument itself is mesmerizing and set against the most beautiful backdrop of grape farms and wineries of the Paarl region. In addition, the flora surrounding the monument is a wonder unto itself, its a gorgeous garden where one can sit and enjoy a quiet lovely moment. The people who work here are so nice and hospitable. A lot of love, care and pride lives here- an amazing experience! The restaurant was nice and the milk tart, excellent
Beautiful park and monument, really nice to walk around the paths, and the views are spectacular. Lovely little place to grab a coffee as wellVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Go and learn more about how Afrikaans became the best language in the world although it isn't spoken by the most people in the world. Interesting monument with interesting features symbolizing the different parts of the worlds that helped to create our wonderful language. Goog coffee and pizzas available at the restaurant. Come and relax with the many stargazing picnics. Beautiful views of the surrounding farmland. Play area for the kids next to restaurant and huge grass areas next to the monument itself where they can roll down for hours.
It's rare to go to a monument that's dedicated to a language. The Afrikaans Language Monument was erected to highlight the pride of a nation that has created a means for its diverse population to communicate in an idiom which is entirely their own. Set on a hill overlooking a majestic valley, with views that extend for miles around, the various shapes of the concrete monument have significance that is best explained by signs, guides and guidebooks.
Beautiful monument. Amazing structure. The gardens around the monument are clean and well maintained.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Beautiful structure, so clean with amazing views. Nice picnic area
Unique experience, wonderful visitors center with a beautiful display of the history of the monument. The coffee shop has great service and a wonderful selection. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Lots of benches and shaded areas to stop and take in the views. Breathtaking views over Paarl.
Absolutely worth a visit. The monument has a beautiful botanical garden, safe parking, adequate restaurant and information centre, and breathtaking views. Can accommodate certain functions.
The second stop of the day was a big surprise. The Taalmonument is a must to visit. We even had French as an option to use on the audio guide. This place receives full points for friendliness and the fact that it is absolutely WELL maintained, very clean and that our audio guides worked perfectly. One thing to point out: the Afrikaans audio should be done by a professional reader. Words were wrongly pronounced and punctuation marks were ignored in sentences. I am sure this can be easily fixed.
