Falsebay Nature Reserve

This is a lovely place to spend some time in Nature. Well mia trained bird hides which is a easy walk for everyone to enjoy. Dont forget to stop at the small museum. Thank you to the staff for maintaining the reserve for the public to enjoy.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

A real hidden gem for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts alike. Tranquil and calm, with safe parking, Rondevlei is a great place to have a socially distant chat while walking from hide to hide. It's free entry and not very big, but a fantastic spot for a check on which birds are in season. If you bring little ones, a checklist is handy, as is a picnic.

Beautiful place with short walking trails to watch birds. Clean picnic area with clean toilets. Visited during dry season so didn't see any hippos. There is also a very small museum. Entrance is free. Was super quiet only spotted a handful of people.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

A stunning nature reserve right in the middle of suburbia with views of the mountains. We went here for an early morning birdwatching trip with the Cape Bird Club and saw a wonderful variety of birds. The bird hides could use a little TLC. Pathways are well-maintained. My biggest gripe is that, apparently, this reserve isn't open on weekends!

What a wonderful place to observe birds and other animals in their natural environment. There are bird hides and towers that give you a view over the whole park. The paths are ideal for walkers and wheelchair users and there are adequate bathrooms. However, there is a period of environmental cleanup which means there's not much to see at the moment, and given the Covid-19 pandemic, no event hosting is currently allowed. The aquarium is also closed, which is a pity. The potential is there, and as soon as it's back up to speed, it is truly a great little venue.

Calm, free feeling. Lovely to walk and look at all the birds and hippos if you're lucky. Some Eland that we were privileged to meet and speak to their custodians. Also a rescued porcupine that was very incredible to see.

Beautiful and tranquil experience. Look out points was closed off whilst were there during the Covid-19 period. But still had a beautiful walk in between the lushes green paths.

A fantastically serene reserve to visit in order to experience an escape from the hustle and bustle of city living. Witnessing the calls of the birds and seeing them wading whilst savaging is certainly food for the soul. The hides are clean and we'll maintained. Evidence of the hippopotamus presence is clearly evident in various locations. Unfortunately due to the severe drought the water has receded a significant distance from the hides. Rondevlei is certainly well worth a visit.

What an amazing reserve...even though the vlei has been drained to curtail the reed growth the bird life is still abundant....This place is looking a little tired But not one walkway plank was broken and no bricks were missing from the pathways ....The telescope at the top of the tower platform still works Well done to the staff who look after this place

We brought a group of campers here for a ln empowerment program. The facilitators and the catering staff were fantastic. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to camp in a more open space without having to set up your own tent. There are showers, toilets and a kitchen. Hippos frequent the vlei at night and you can hear them at night. We got to touch and hold onto snakes. It was great. We also went dragon boat racing. It was splendid.
