Beautiful gardens in a spectacularly scenic setting decorated with multiple sculptures ranging from tiny to huge by the renowned South African sculptor Dylan Lewis. The gardens are designed to show off the masterful sculptures against a backdrop of the surrounding valley and looming mountain crags in the distance.

This project began in 2009, when Lewis hired an excavator to create a level area for his children to play behind their house. Over that, that small project grew into a sprawling sculpture garden. Throughout the space are Lewis’s large sculptures, many of which feature organic forms and animals.

Go for the self-guided tour of more than four kilometers and be astounded by this art gallery nestled in nature.
